I specialize in South Haven waterfront and vacation properties!

What a privilege to work in a profession and live in a community that I love!

Year after year of top awards and multi-million dollar production has enabled me to develop a network of buyers interested in purchasing their "dream come true". With so many out of State and Country clients, I have learned to master the art of 'long distance' transactions. My goal is to keep the entire process running smoothly with constant communication from start to finish. I have made it a rule to work with a limited number of clients at any given time. This decision has allowed me to give complete and personal service to each buyer and seller.

My sincere desire is to share with others the many wonderful things the coastal community of South Haven has to offer.

Please give me a call and allow me to put my 20 years of real estate experience & knowledge to work for you!!

South Haven has undergone tremendous changes since 1983. This is the year I decided to become actively involved in making people’s real estate dreams come true. It is a pleasure to promote a town that hosts fabulous waterfront geography, has colorful local legends (living, displaced or deceased), a conscience in regard to our past and has always had a sense of family in its direction.

My success in selling real estate is something I truly appreciate but my real success is measured in the relationships and friends this wonderful community has afforded me. I would love to share my experiences with you and help you to establish your own memories in our town.

I have been living and selling real estate in South Haven full time since 1999 when my husband and I decided to move from Chicago into our "summer home" after vacationing here for 25 years!

I was a realtor in Chicago, serving the city and the northern suburbs, since 1989. I had achieved "top producer" status for many years and hold my Illinois license to this day.

I take great pride in my work and treat buyers and sellers alike - with honesty, integrity, and concern. I chose Shores Real Estate for the same reasons you should:
* a great team of realtors and support staff that work TOGETHER
* a liberal advertising policy
* a fabulous "in town" location on the harbor
* an "up to the minute" pulse on the market, having been in sales and development for over 30 years!

It would be my pleasure to service YOUR real estate needs!

Negotiating is what I love! Whether you’re buying or selling let me work as your agent. I believe previous experiences have contributed to my ability to acclimate to the varying, as well as diverse environments and personalities that real estate transactions command: As a youthful entrepreneur, I owned and operated a successful local lawn care business. I also invested 2 years living and working in one of this country’s cultural melting pots, New York City, where I continued learning the importance of relationship communication. I know these attributes are key in representing buyers and sellers for a smooth transaction from start to finish. Many people don’t like their jobs, and it shows. I find that going the extra mile just comes naturally when working at a job one truly enjoys. If you’re buying, selling, or simply interested in real estate let me put my passion, knowledge, and zeal to work for you.

Bio:
I am originally from out West – I grew up on the dry side of the state of Washington and, like Gary Cooper in the old movies, I like to say “yep” and “nope” and only what else is necessary. If you don’t have something important to say, why talk?

In a past life I was an anthropologist/archaeologist who taught in universities from California to here in Michigan. You impressed by initials? I have a B.A., an M.A. and would have completed a Ph.D. if there hadn’t been quite so much B.S. involved.

In another past life I was farmer; I raised both livestock and fruit crops. The grapes I grew, besides being included in Welch’s jams and jellies, found their way into casks in my basement to be converted into a reasonably tasty red wine.

In yet another incarnation, beginning about twenty years ago, I became a Realtor here in the quaint village of South Haven. If you saw the movie, “American Beauty” and the dedication and drive that Annette Benning’s character exhibited—well, that’s not like me at all. I have experience, skill, patience and not much of a need to fulfill my own agenda. I can unselfishly look after a client’s interests, but I do prefer win-win situations. I have worked extensively with boat slip sales and leasing, and the listing and sales of homes (from modest to million dollar plus), condominiums, building lots and commercial properties.
.
Given all this, you might think that I would be pretty puffed up with my own importance, but in spite of all my accomplishments, I remain an extremely humble person. I imagine that that if a ranking of the most humble people who ever lived were established, at the top there would be Jesus, Mahatma Gandhi and yours truly (but not necessarily in that order).

I love what you love: the lakeshore. I walk it, hike it, bike it and photograph it. I grew up in a lakeside community, and took swimming lessons well before I learned to sit in a classroom. Lake Michigan and its surrounding landscape is a living resource that has fueled my appreciation of this unique geography, its humanity, and of its delicate environment. Likewise, the South Haven area captivates & inspires many of its residents and visitors; and magnificent & unpredictable weather patterns never cease to mesmerize even the most seasoned “Laker.”

I understand that you may already have precious memories “at the lake,” that you now wish to recapture with your loved ones. You may be searching to put some s p a c e into what’s become your “scheduled” existence. Or maybe you’re ready to take your priceless South Haven memories with you upon relocating to life’s next destination. Regardless of the circumstance that prompts you, involving yourself in South Haven’s real estate market is a natural choice to satisfy the smart design for your future. Grant me the opportunity to be your Realtor today, and I’ll accurately represent your goals & interests with the utmost respect and empathy hereafter.

The lakeshore; it’s our common denominator.
