A little about me…
Born in Jersey City 1971, I was a resident of Hudson County until the move to Old Bridge Twp., right off Route 9 in 1975. With family residing in Monmouth County, my love for skating growing up and my forever inquisitive adventurous self, I can say that I know the ins and outs of Middlesex and Monmouth Counties like the back of my hand.
My love for my state and outdoor nature,
I am very knowledgeable with all of New Jersey
At 15 yrs old, on weekends and school days off, I was working with a family business on new construction homes. Since I was a toddler, I always loved the smell of the lumber yard and was blessed with natural mechanical abilities. Truly enjoy home improvement and construction projects for as far back as I can remember. I have knowledge in many areas of home repair. Started to follow the local housing market when I was seventeen, back in the days when we had to read the daily newspaper and know what day the public sales were posted to get information😊
At that time, homeownership was just a daydream …that grew.
I didn't get into Real Estate, it got into me.
In 2001, I seized an opportunity and built my home in East Brunswick. Navigated through the loan process, handled all the necessary paperwork and contractors. Being a single mother, this was life changing, especially after a lifetime of living in rentals. Inspired, my sister purchased a foreclosed home with me to flip in 2004. I continued to learn a great deal of that process throughout my career. It was at the sheriff sale where I met my 1st Broker. But it was my mother that said to me, “go get your real estate license, this is what you do” and that I did in March 2005.
In 2021 I made the decision to build a new home, again. Currently, I now live in Ocean County, 5 minutes from the Monmouth border. The area had been on my radar for several years prior, for the key strategic location that allows me to get to all points of NJ with ease. So, there I was, on the treed lot with my chain saw, while waiting on variance approvals and building permits. Being the acting GC, I handled every aspect of the build from a treed lot to the final certificate of occupancy. I have an eye for design, layout, color, staging and remodeling possibilities in a home rather quickly. Member of several MLS boards in New Jersey and I am a Notary , to better serve my clients
