My Real Estate career began back in 1986 with I first obtained my Virginia Real Estate License and started working for a local homebuilder as their youngest Sales Associate ever.

I continued learning the business and assisting Buyers and Sellers during my time associated with a small, independant real estate brokerage led by a local real estate icon.  

In 2002, I started my 23 year professional relationship with a top producing branch of a  highly respected local franchise of an internationally recognized real estate brand. 

During this time, in 2008, I started The Art of Real Estate Team. 

I wasn't looking to become the largest real estate team in the area, but rather the best. 

To me, being the best simply meant being the preferred choice of local Buyers and Sellers, delivering the very best experiences possible to our valued clients, and treating people the way that they should be treated always - - with the utmost care, attention, and respect. 
 
Along the way, I've surrounded myself with fellow professionals who equally value and deliver on this vision.  Over the years, I've had the distinct pleasure of training, coaching, and mentoring a number of highly successful real estate agents that have gone on to develop themselves as consistent individual top performing Real Estate Agents in our area.

Today, The Art of Real Estate Team remains one of the Top Producing Real Estate Teams in Northern Virginia, but what we are most proud of are the hundreds of exceptionally happy clients who use us again and again, and tell their family and friends about us, too! 

We hope to add you to that list!  Thanks for visiting!
