Distinctions

Thank you for considering me as your Howard Hanna | Allen Tate Realtor. With a bachelor's degree in Business Information Systems and 15 years of experience in higher education technology, I honed my skills in attention to detail, analytics, clear communication, and negotiation. As a realtor, I bring those same strengths and qualities to every aspect of the real estate journey, ensuring a smooth and successful experience from start to finish.

As someone who has relocated several times in my life, I utilize my personal, extensive research process into my clients' advantage. I specialize in Lifestyle Matching Real Estate, connecting people not just with a house, but with the specific neighborhood and community that perfectly fits their unique living criteria.  With a genuine passion for real estate and helping others, it's my absolute pleasure to assist people in finding the best home for whatever season of life they may be in.

Want to learn more about me and what I bring to the table?  View my About Me page, follow me on social media, or schedule a time for us to meet!
