Since 2002, I’ve been proud to be an agent with Jaqua Realtors. With a strong interest in homes and a love of working with the public, a career in Real Estate felt natural. Having worked in both management and ownership of a family owned business, I have a strong and varied background in customer service.
As a REALTOR®, I am certified in Relocation and hold designations as a Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), and Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). As a result of my experience, I have excellent problem-solving skills. I hold an AAS degree from our local Kalamazoo Community College. And as a life-long resident of the Kalamazoo area, I know the community and its resources well, which is a tremendous benefit to my clients.
My husband and I have five children and eight grandchildren, which keeps us very active in our community. I have been a member of the Portage Public Schools Angling Road PTO and chaired many positions. I am also a member of the Portage Garden Club which meets monthly and maintains community gardens throughout the Portage area. I have a passion for the arts and am a HAP (South Bend Hoosier Art Patrons) and have served on the board of directors for the Vicksburg Cultural Arts Center. I am an animal enthusiast and show and breed Australian Shepherds for conformation and performance. I am active in the American Kennel Club, Australian Shepherd Club of America, The United Kennel Club and a founding member and on the board of directors with the Michiana Australian Shepherd Association.
After a time of many changes and challenges, you want a REALTOR® and company you can trust and depend on. I chose to work with the Jaqua firm because of their outstanding reputation, educational training and support. I am attentive to the needs of others, enthusiastic about the home buying and selling processes and understand the concerns of my clients.
Whatever your real estate needs may be, my goal is to provide the highest level of service possible and to make sure each and every transaction is smooth and efficient.
