PHILOSOPHY: I'm committed to providing exceptional service and genuinely enjoy the challenge of working with all types of clients from the beginning to the end of a transaction. I see myself as more of an educator and adviser on all aspects of the home sales process. I've developed a passion for the listing side of the business, particularly the creative marketing process and helping sellers through the transaction. I believe my greatest strengths are honesty, reliability, attention to detail, and a huge focus on the customer. And I truly enjoy helping a buyer find the right home! EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION: My real estate career spans over 25 years, five of which have been with Tate & Foss Sotheby's International Realty. As a partner in my husband's custom home construction business, I understand all aspects of the construction process--design, staging, building costs, time management and marketing. In the last five years, I have been a part of over 30 transactions and developed expertise in online marketing and social media. I have a Bachelor's degree in marketing from Plymouth State University. COMMUNITY & PERSONALITY: My husband Dick and I have lived in Rye, NH for over 25 years and I grew up in Exeter, NH. I love the NH Seacoast area--its small community feel, beautiful beaches, everything Portsmouth has to offer and easy access to Boston, MA. As a member of the Portsmouth HS booster club for many years, I supported my daughters Samantha and Emily in all of their sports activities. I enjoy golf, yoga, gardening and travel. CLIENT REVIEW: 'You were an absolute pleasure to work with. Your knowledge and experience got us the house we wanted, even when there was a competing offer situation. We highly recommend you!'
