Being born and raised in the Coloma/Watervliet area, my childhood years were spent fishing, boating and swimming on Big Paw Paw Lake. Today, I am still enjoying the lake from my Coloma lake-side home, along with my husband, Bill, of 44 years. We have two beautiful adult daughters.
While attending Coloma High School, I worked for a local car dealership where I loved “keeping the books” and managing all of the details involved in running a small business. That first formal exposure to the business world gave me the knowledge to later become an office manager and accounting manager for several businesses and eventually to own my own accounting/consulting business.
But I found my true love, the love of sales, while owning and managing my retail businesses, a women’s apparel boutique and a gift/interior design shop. Being a sales rep for Proctor & Gamble and Hershey Chocolate further enhanced my selling skills.
In the spring of 1998 I entered into a full time real estate career where sales and details are King….. A match made in heaven for me! As a consistent top producer in real estate, I have earned numerous awards including the Silver and Gold Life Awards and years of Platinum Awards from the Multiple Listing System of Southwestern Michigan. I hold designations as a Senior Housing Specialist, Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) and Resort Property Specialist. .
I have invested of myself in my church and community, not only by being a member but by serving on many committees, boards and holding many offices. But one of my most treasured contributions is being a mentor to two wonderful young boys, one at Coloma Elementary School and the other at Benton Harbor Elementary School through the Kids Hope USA program.
Real estate is not a “get rich quick” business. It takes a full-time, dedicated commitment. I often work ten and twelve hour days, weekends and holidays to fulfill my motto of OUTSTANDING SERVICE. I have pledged to do what ever it takes to provide that kind of service to my clients and customers. My satisfied past clients and customers and the resulting referrals from them have been the driving force behind my thriving real estate career.
Thank you for visiting my web site. I look forward to being of SERVICE TO YOU!
