Buyer or Seller:

In either case, my varied background brings you a wealth of experience to assist you as a buyer or a seller.  My business background will help guide you through the buying or selling process.  Having retired from a world class international airline after 30 years of experience in telephone sales, training, customer service and management, I moved to Kinderhook NY in Columbia County where I found delight in my Dutch Colonial Revival Home set in bucolic surroundings within a friendly country community.

I have served as Director of Marketing and Public Relations for the Pleshakov Music Center Foundation when located in Hudson and sat on its board of directors.

I am a founding member of Kinderhook Neighbors for Good Growth and served as its president for four years.  This experience, my added knowledge of land use, environmental issues, zoning regulations and my understanding of local state regulations is an asset in the real estate world, enabling me to readily assist you.

I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, the NY State Association of Realtors, the Columbia Green Board of Realtors and I am a member of the Columbia County Northern Dutchess Multiple Listing Service as well as the Capital Region MLS.  I Joined Prudential Manor Homes in May of 2005.

As a member of the Columbia County Historical Society, my favorite pastime is viewing historic homes.  Columbia County has a wealth of period homes.  Today I specialize in locating and selling Dutch Colonial, Federal, Greek Revival, Georgian, Queen Anne, Victorian, Arts and Crafts style homes and old farmhouses as well as designer Contemporary homes for my clients.

I look forward to a friendly, productive and positive real estate relationship with you.
