Q: What is your favorite part of being an agent?

A: My favorite part of being an agent is building lasting relationships with my clients. Real estate is about more than buying and selling; it’s about guiding people through one of life’s biggest decisions. I get to know my clients’ unique goals and needs, and that connection drives me to deliver the best possible outcome for each transaction. Every home, every family, and every story is different, and I love helping people through such an exciting chapter in their lives.

Q: What do you like most about working in Dripping Springs?

A: Dripping Springs is truly special to me—I’ve called it home since 2000, and I’ve had the pleasure of watching this small town flourish. The community is tight-knit, and there’s a wonderful mix of people from all walks of life. Being an agent here means I get to share the area’s incredible amenities, natural beauty, and the welcoming Hill Country spirit with new residents, while also helping current residents find the next chapter in their Dripping Springs journey.

Q: What is your superpower (specialty)?

A: I’d say my superpower is the ability to create a customized experience for each client. Real estate isn’t a one-size-fits-all field; it requires intuition, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of each client’s needs. My background allows me to navigate unique situations, helping my clients feel confident and informed through each step of the process. Whether it’s a first-time buyer or an experienced investor, I provide the support and guidance necessary to make their experience seamless.

Q: If you could describe your ideal day, what would it look like?

A: My ideal day starts with family time—sharing a cup of coffee with my husband, who I’ve been married to for over 25 years, and spending time with our three boys. After that, I’d head out to meet clients and tour properties. Every day is different in real estate, and that variety energizes me. I’d definitely stop in to support a local business or two, and ALWAYS love popping in to one of our coffee shops! Ending the day with a little fishing, hiking or golfing with the family is the perfect way to recharge and reflect.

Q: What is the value of being a member of DS Elite that benefits your clients?

A: Being a member of Dripping Springs Elite Real Estate Professionals is invaluable for both myself and my clients. It connects me to a network of highly knowledgeable agents who share insights, trends, and exclusive information about the local market. Our collective expertise means that my clients receive the benefits of not just one agent’s knowledge but an entire network of real estate experts dedicated to ensuring they receive the best possible service.

Q: When you aren’t closing deals and making your clients overjoyed, what do you like to do?

A: Family is everything to me, so I spend as much of my spare time with them as possible. We love hiking, hill country drives, and kayaking – enjoying the simpler things—whether it’s a barbecue in the backyard or visits to local distilleries and wineries with friends. Dripping Springs has so much to offer, and I love making the most of it with my family and friends.

Q: What’s something new that’s going on with you that you’d like the community to know?

A: I’m excited to be exploring new ways to offer even more tailored services to my clients, taking into account the unique needs of each family and individual I work with. Real estate in Dripping Springs is ever-evolving, and I’m constantly looking for ways to grow my skills and serve my clients even better.
