My history in real estate sales dates back to childhood, tagging along with my grandparents for showings in Glenville, North Carolina. They owned and operated Macdonald Real Estate for more than 25 years and instilled a love for both the business and the beautiful region of Western North Carolina in me.

Launching my career during the early 2000s recession, I developed a personal brand of service that has not fluctuated with market conditions. My definition of success goes far beyond showing houses and completing financial transactions. I stay on top of the details throughout the entire process and serve as a relentless advocate for my clients. For me, there is no such thing as “extra work.”

I have been assisting buyers and sellers in Upstate SC and Lake Keowee for nearly two decades and am thrilled to be extending my range to a place that’s close to my heart. I value community and am fortunate to have roots in the Cashiers/Glenville area. My great grandparents had a summer home in Highlands in the 1960s, and my grandparents eventually built a home after spending many summers in Glenville where my mom eventually met my father. His side of the family still resides in Cashiers.

Working in SC with a well-known firm, I became a member of the International President's Circle Society, composed of fewer than 7 percent of their agents worldwide. I’ve also worked with a relocation company for more than 10 years, helping families from many corporations and the military feel at home. I am proud to be a Certified Luxury Marketing Specialist and to have obtained the Guild designation through the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. The dream homes on my social media may give a certain impression of my business and me, but I’m proud to say the most important perceptions have come from clients who have noted my approachability and professionalism.

I take care of myself by practicing yoga and enjoying all sorts of outdoor recreation. Thanks to my incredible family, friends, and clients, I am living my dream — and I’m ready to help you do the same!
