I have also earned the highly acclaimed GRI designation (Graduate Realtor Institute), a nationally recognized designation held by less than 5% of all Realtors. In addition, I hold the e-Pro designation-which means I have advanced training in the latest technology and social media to promote your property or find your next home. E-PRO is the only technology certification to be officially recognized, endorsed, and conferred by the National Association of REALTORS. I am also a Certified Negotiation Expert and am duly licensed in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. As well as being a successful Realtor, I also have real estate management experience-this is crucial when you need someone with experience. During my four years as Vice President for brokerage, I built the company from a 3 person 'For Sale" sign rental company to a powerhouse in the industry by recruiting, hiring, training and managing a team of 24 agents and 9 staff members. In addition to my real estate experience, I hold a B.A. in Communications with a minor in Psychology. Real estate requires a diverse skill set that touches on law, finance, communications, marketing and psychology. Besides Real Estate, I also have 15 years of professional sales experience- including multi-million dollar accounts- with 8 of those years also in sales management. If you want someone who understands the Minnesota real estate business and transaction process inside and out- I do.

In addition to real estate and tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 2 teenage kids and are busy with the kids' sports, music and activities. I also enjoy having our family and friends over, relaxing on our patio, discussions with my book club, upcycling furniture, the beach, staging homes, music (especially 80's music!), puzzles, finding new healthy recipes, and all things Irish.
