“Mother knows best!” As a high school student my mom suggested I consider a career in real estate. I took it to mean that she didn’t think I was college material so I spent the next 30 years trying to prove her wrong. She was right, I love being a Realtor! Getting to know and help people is a lot of fun. Getting them to closing is icing on the cake!
I moved to Cortland in 1992 with my husband Steve when he took a position with the SUNY Cortland Biology Department. The nerve-wracking experience of purchasing our second home after just four days in Cortland is still fresh in my memory. We loved raising our two sons here and remain active in our community and central New York.
