Our journey into real estate didn’t start with a business plan—it started with a dream (and maybe a little bit of midlife restlessness).
A few years back, I was sitting at my desk as an Office Manager, crunching numbers and handling payroll, when I realized something: I wasn’t meant to spend the rest of my life behind a desk. I craved something bigger—something that involved people, connection, and a little adventure. Rick was approaching his 50th birthday, and we both felt it—this pull to start a new chapter that was more aligned with what we love.

That night, I did what I often did for fun: I started looking at homes online. I’ve always loved walking through open houses, picturing how a family would make memories in each space. And then it hit me—why not turn that passion into a career? Real estate was the perfect way to combine my love for homes with our shared love of people.

So, I jumped in. I left my job, got licensed, and started this new adventure. Not long after, I convinced Rick to join me. We’ve always been a team in life, so why not in business too? It wasn’t easy—we sold our home, downsized, and took a leap of faith with no Plan B. Our youngest daughter was still at home, and I’m pretty sure she thought we’d lost our minds. But we believed in each other and in the idea that if we led with heart and worked hard, we could build something meaningful.
Since 2014, we’ve been doing just that. Real estate isn’t just a job for us—it’s about people, relationships, and helping others step into the next chapter of their lives. Whether it’s a first home, a dream home, or a downsizing move, we know that a house is so much more than four walls. It’s a place where life happens.
Our business runs on one simple motto:
Quality before quantity, service before sales, people before profit, you before us.
We’re here to guide, to listen, and to make the process as stress-free (and maybe even fun!) as possible.
We’re grateful for every client who has trusted us, and we’d love the chance to get to know you and help you find the place where your next chapter begins.
