I was born and raised in New York City. Attending local New York area Universities, I achieved a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Education which serves me well "teaching" my customers about the real estate market.
Moving to Vail in July of 1972, I originally worked in the condominium hotel industry and was also a ski instructor for Vail Resorts for 16 winter seasons. A sojourn for 2 winters (Vail summers) to Bariloche, Argentina to teach skiing added to my wealth of ski experience and provided a good knowledge of the Spanish language as well. Although no longer "on the hill" teaching, I continue to maintain a Fully Certified Emeritus status in the ski instructor profession.
Obtaining a Colorado Real Estate License in 1975, I bring an abundance of expertise to my real estate career. A combination of energy, enthusiasm, knowledge and being so familiar with Vail and all of its benefits give my customers confidence in choosing me as their Real Estate Broker.
Guiding customers through the unique process of listing and selling real estate can be an intricate task and my abilities make it easy for people to reach a successful closing. A key to my success is due to extensive professional education that I pride myself with over the many years I have worked in the industry. I always enjoy seeking new ways to gain an "edge" in the business with attendance at networking events, taking real estate courses that address all aspects of our business, updating myself with new technology and exploring ways to heighten customer service. Innovative ideas, a creative mind and a lifelong learning philosophy enhance my professional life each and every day.
I love to play golf, travel, read, have a keen interest in photography, keep a practice of staying fit with exercise, good nutrition and appreciate spending quality time with my family and friends.
The Literacy Project is an organization I have done volunteer work for recently and it is my favorite local program to support. Other community volunteer contributions extend to my primary residence in the Sandstone area of Vail where I serve on the Board of Directors of our condominium association. In Arrowhead,the western gateway to Beaver Creek Mountain, located in Edwards, CO, I am presently serving as President of the Aspenwood Lodge Homeowner's Association where I own property as well.
Creating new friendships, finding just the "perfect" mountain retreat for Buyers and obtaining just the "right" Buyer for Sellers make my career in real estate all worthwhile. Sharing a wonderful resort lifestyle with families from all walks of life and many different geographic locations make it a privilege to provide exceptional customer service that I consider a top priority in my real estate career.
