With over 15 years experience in the residential real estate industry, I have been able to leverage the sales, customer relations management, marketing and social media skills I have acquired over the years into two successful career paths.
One as a real estate broker with one of the highest producing firms in our area; and the other as the owner of a successful Interior Consulting firm which specializes in the staging of luxury vacant homes. However, my firm has expanded and diversified over the last year, now offering more Interior Consulting for both residential and commercial projects.
My educational background includes graduating from Appalachian State University (1991), as well as attending the Harrington Institute for Interior Design (now Harrington College of Design) in Chicago (2002-2003). I have also had the good fortune of seeing design styles and trends from all over the world during the last 18 years, which has helped set apart my design aesthetic.
I was recently awarded as one of the "2019 Top 75 Most Influential People in Real Estate Staging" by the Real Estate Staging Association. I have also been awarded with a Houzz.com 2019 "Best of Houzz Award for Customer Service". And have been named as the 2020 North Carolina State President for the Real Estate Staging Association.
Along with my work as a Real Estate Broker and Interior Consultant, I was also recently inducted onto the Appalachian State University Alumni Council, which is an elected group of over 40 alumni who represent over 126,000 ASU alumni. I am also on the Alumni Advisory Board for the Sigma Upsilon chapter of my fraternity at Appalachian State University, Lambda Chi Alpha.
And, I am volunteering on the first ever collaboration between my alma mater, Appalachian State University, and our local Habitat for Humanity with a program called "APP Builds a Home", assisting with their fundraising efforts and community outreach. And when I am not fulfilling any one of these responsibilities, I am also certified as an Instructor for a North Carolina, 4 hour continuing education course for REALTORS®️ developed by RESA called "Staging to Sell, What Every Agent Should Know".
I currently reside in the beautiful Village of Blowing Rock, North Carolina with my family, which includes three rescue dogs; two Pugs and a Boston terrier.
