Experience & Education
Testimonials
Thank you for visiting my web site!
I feel blessed to have lived in this wonderful area since 1996. The booming economy, landscape, and weather, attract new people here every year and I knew I wanted to be a part of helping people with their life changes. Realizing dreams and solving problems for customers is what I do. My focus is to assist people in real estate whether that is helping first time buyers, move-up buyers and sellers, or people moving out of the area. Northern Colorado is a large area and my expertise starts in the Fort Collins, Timnath, Loveland and the Windsor area. I also help people from Berthoud to Greeley, all the way up to Wellington and as far east as Eaton and Pierce.
I’ve been at The Group, Inc. Real Estate since 1999 and it’s a unique company unlike any I have ever been with. We are known nationwide for our commitment, standards, forward thinking, and unique customer service. Realtors and sales people come from all parts of the country to train with us so they can improve their own business and services. Our dedication to putting the customer first has earned us special acknowledgements while we commit ourselves to local community service and philanthropy each year as well.
It’s my goal to make the home buying/selling process extra ordinary so that my customers are more delighted with the experience. I would be happy to meet you and get to know your specific needs so I can help you best. Feel free to call, send me an e-mail, or text.

Definitions of Real Estate Designations
What is a GRI Designation?
- GRI, which stands for Graduate REALTOR Institute, is a nationally recognized professional real estate designation.
- The GRI designation is considered the nation's number one real estate designation.
- This designation may only be earned after successfully completing a rigorous education program with passing grades. This program requires 92 hours of live course instruction from a statewide faculty selected because of extensive experience in their own areas of expertise.
- This designation is available only to members of the local, state and National Association of REALTORS.
- GRI is recognized nationwide as the standard for real estate professionalism and knowledge.
Why chose a Realtor with a GRI Designation?
- The Graduate REALTOR Institute (GRI) designation indicates the REALTOR has made the commitment to provide a high level of professional service to their clients by securing a strong educational foundation.
- New technology, laws, procedures and the increasing sophistication of buyers and sellers require real estate practitioners to perform at an ever-increasing level of professionalism.
GRI's are:
- Nationally recognized as top performers in the real estate industry
- Professionally trained
- Knowledgeable
- Dedicated to bringing you quality service
What is a CRS Designation?
A Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is the highest designation awarded to sales associates in the residential sales field. The designation recognizes professional accomplishments in both experience and education.
Since 1977 The Council of Residential Specialists has been conferring the CRS Designation to Realtors who meet its stringent requirements. Currently there are more than 34,000 active CRS Designees. Less than 5% of Realtors hold this designation.
Why use a CRS?
Experience - To earn the CRS Designation every Realtor must have significant experience and volume of real estate transactions.
Ethics - Every CRS Designee is required to maintain membership in the national Association of Realtors and to abide by its strict Code of Ethics.
A Focus on Home Buying and Selling - To help make the home buying and selling process more rewarding, every CRS Designee must have a proven track record in the business, as well as advanced education in related areas like finance, marketing, and customer service.
Technology Experience - The training available to CRS Designees includes a strong focus on technology and its applications in the real estate business. This includes marketing and contact resources.
What is a CSP Designation?
The Certified New Home Sales Professional (CSP) designation is the first designation available through The Institute of Residential Marketing. CSP was designed for specialists in new home sales to enhance their professional image, increase their marketability in the home building industry and sell more homes. This designation can be earned through The National Association of Home Builders.
Why Choose a CSP?
A Certified New Home Specialist will have more knowledge about existing new home neighborhoods. They have a better understanding about the home building process and they usually have more experience with people buying new homes. Helping people find an existing home vs. a brand new one is a different process. Buyers wanting a new home is usually a longer process especially if it starts with finding the perfect lot.
What is an EcoBroker Designation?
In an era of rising energy costs, the heightened awareness of conservation and healthier indoor spaces has initiated the EcoBroker. This professional is educated in helping buyers and sellers apply these “green” features.
Why Choose an EcoBroker?
EcoBrokers have learned how to add value in helping their customers locate “greener” builders and how to apply these desirable traits to current homes. Greener homes are more energy efficient (saving the homeowner money on utility bills) and can also have environmental features like having better indoor air quality. These homes in general have better re-sale attributes.

Northern Colorado Links
Welcome to Northern Colorado where the front range meets the prairie. Located within 1 hour of Denver International Airport and downtown with the arts, world class sports and abundant parks, northern Colorado is an ideal place to call home.
