After graduating from college in Pittsburgh, Pa in 1975, I moved back to New England. While studying at the graduate school at UNH I was offered an opportunity to work as a tour guide in Scandinavia for the summer. I thought that I’d take a few months and see Europe and then get a “real job”. That summer turned into over 30 years of traveling the world and living in some of the most exciting places on Earth.
I managed the overseas operations for a large international tour agency. It was an exciting time to be young and living in some of the world’s most exciting destinations. Exciting but not realistic. I had a desire to settle down and be closer to family so I moved back to York Harbor, Maine. I became a licensed realtor in Maine and in New Hampshire and I enjoy working with families that choose as I do, to make New England home.
I would love to hear from anyone who has questions about making New England home.

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange to finance, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
