My real estate career began in 1999 with one of the Triad’s largest real estate companies. Successfully helping hundreds of buyers and sellers move locally and nationally, I quickly became an award winning sales producer. However, there is one thing missing from the big firms- a corporate mission to match the values of myself and of my clients.
Leap Realty answers the need of buyers and sellers looking for better options in real estate. A real estate firm that’s main focus is enhancing the lives of their clients through better homes and better living.
My certifications include: EcoBroker, GREEN by National Association of Realtors, Certificate by National Association of Home Inspectors-Green Building, and Green Advantage Certified. In addition, my most recent community and professional involvement includes: Board of Director Piedmont Environmental Alliance, Board of Director for Winston-Salem Home Builders, Executive Board for Triad Green Building Council, Founder of Green Drinks Winston, Committee Member for Piedmont Chapter of USGBC.
It the mission of Leap Realty to enhance the lives of our clients through home efficiency and healthy living. I am motivated by our agents commitment, ethics, value and integrity. I know you will be too when you choose us to help you with your home buying and selling needs.
