I started my successful real estate career 25 years ago after moving to Nantucket from Bermuda. I am dedicated to my clients' real estate needs and pride myself on delivering exceptional results based on my extensive knowledge and understanding of Nantucket's real estate market and investment opportunities. My ability to provide guidance and advice is one of my many assets. My affiliation with Maury People Sotheby's International Realty has enabled me to be associated with the largest and historically top producing firm on the island. Our unsurpassed Main Street location provides the office with unmatched exposure to potential buyers and sellers.
My husband Christopher and I have lived in Miacomet for 25 years, and together own Christopher's Home Furnishings. When we are not helping our clients, we enjoy traveling to exotic places and spending time on the water. I look forward to putting my energy, skills and experience to work in assisting you with your real estate needs.
