Published:

Powerhouse International Magazine - which showcased Luxury Homes in the Atlanta area.  Worked in conjunction with ACCENT on Atlanta magazine on the lay-out and design of inserting our magazine in their publication.

Hobbies:

Travel and meeting new people.  I love learning about cultures, experiencing first hand about my clients background and culture. So far I have traveled to 37 different countries and hope to see at least 60 countries (this is how many countries FIABCI is in) before I retire to write a book about my life story.  I love to read auto-biographies of successful people, inspirational and motivational books. 

Passion:

My passion is to have a positive attitude.  I'm an optimist, visionary, and a family person.  I have two sons (Chris and Michael), husband Tom and my parents Joe and Dagmarwho are my two best friends. I enjoy sharing family time, enjoy entertaining my clients, visiting friends and helping others achieve their own success.  I set goals for myself daily, weekly and yearly.  I love achieving my goals. I also enjoy being around successful and positive people because I draw extra energy from them.  I believe that God puts people in your life for a reason.

Slogans I love: 

"I want to be your REALTOR for LIFE, not just one transaction". "Dream BIG, because there is NO magic in SMALL dreams". "I have always been a PURPLE Snowflake in the Real Estate    Industry". "If it's meant to be, it is up to ME!" "I provide World Class Service to ALL my customers one client  at a time".   

My goal:

To always be professional, positive, original, enthusiastic about

what I do.  To be respected by my family, friends, partners, relatives and colleagues in my profession.  To be trustworthy.

I never want to look back and say "I WISH I did this...or that...

I simply want to DO IT and have no regrets".  I also want to build the same relationship with my children like I have with my parents.
