More About Us

Thank you for taking time to learn a little about me, I look forward to meeting you.

My Life Philosophy - Give generously, treat others with kindness, be a positive influence, and use every opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and in the world around you.

Whether you need guidance with your real estate transaction, or a real estate career, I would be honored to have that conversation. Call me - lets explore the possibilities.

I was not born in America, but am a proud American. Relocating from South Africa to the USA in the early 1990’s, brought me into the real estate world in 1994 with a New Mexico Associate Broker Real Estate License. My team have assisted with thousands of real estate sales including residential homes,  land, farms & ranches, and commercial properties.

Providing  timely relocation guidance, advice, and support to buyers and sellers is very important to me.

Christian values, perseverance, a positive attitude, combined with a desire to invest time and knowledge in others, have been instrumental in inspiring me to own my own brokerages and to encourage and train other REALTORS. I am passionate about reinvesting my knowledge through coaching, providing support, educating and on the job skills training to other real estate agents who are ready to grow their real estate businesses.

When asked what experiences have shaped me into who I am today, this is what I would share.

I am an imperfect human, who strives to act and react in a Christian manner. I have been blessed to be raised in a very close knit family and farming community, and having many adventures (like sailing aboard a 45 ft. trimaran) and life experiences (like completing a 109 km iconic cycling race, participating in a Rotary foreign exchange program, working in the fashion industry, and being part of a band). 

All of this has provided me with a unique set of communication, and life skills. Of all my accomplishments, I am proudest about being \"Mom\" to 3 beautiful girls and being called \"Mimi\" by a growing family of grandbabies.

I am honored and proud to be a part of the real estate transactions my team assists on.
