With specialized training, business experience, and a deep commitment to understanding the needs of my clients, I’ve learned that real estate is far more than just buying & selling homes. It’s about listening to my clients, understanding their goals, and finding solutions that lead to Win-Win outcomes. Whether it’s navigating market conditions, solving problems, or ensuring a smooth transaction, my focus is on delivering satisfaction and happiness. At the end of it all, I want a smile on your face. I grew up in Clear Lake, moved to Ames to attend Iowa State University, and have made this community my home for several decades. My husband, Omar, is a developer and partner at SB&A Architects in Ames, and together we’ve built both our careers and our family here in wonderful central Iowa. My husband and I are blessed with three wonderful children, a precious grandchild and a couple of crazy dogs. I’ve always loved real estate and that passion was ignited when buying our first investment property in 1997. Before becoming a Realtor, I spent 19 years in sales and marketing with Clear Channel Radio (now iHeartRadio), building strong connections in the local business community. That was a rewarding chapter of life. This experience has been invaluable in my real estate career, where I put those connections and skills to work for my clients every day. Outside of real estate, I’m passionate about Jesus, the Iowa State Cyclones, spending time with family and friends at our lake home, and enjoying all that "lake life" offers. My faith in God is central to everything I do. I strive to live with honesty, integrity, and gratitude, and I believe my purpose in life is to serve others—whether through real estate or in my personal life. These values guide me every day, both in my work and in how I interact with my clients and community. Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or building a new home, I’d love to put my experience to work for you. And no matter where you’re going, I can help! Through my network of experienced realtors, I can connect you with the right professional to assist you wherever in the world you are moving. “Put My Passion to Work For You!” I believe the best seat in the house is in your dream home – let’s find it together. Thank you for reading my bio, and I look forward to connecting with you.
