I have lived in the Ithaca area for 28 years and have good knowledge of the community and its resources. I grew up in Baltimore, and it was a real transition to go from the big city to a life way out in the country! The first time a flock of turkeys flew over, it sounded like flying dinosaurs! We bought a fixer upper, and I learned a lot from my carpenter husband about renovation. Now I can tape and spackle, paint, refinish floors and furniture, and help with ots of other home improvements. My 2 boys had an idyllic childhood, playing in the creek in back of our house and building forts in the trees. I had worked in human service for Head Start and the Women's Center, but decided to make a career move to real estate. And I enjoy what I do! What can be more satisfying then helping someone buy their first home, relocate for a job, or downsize to a smaller place. Give me a call, and let me help you with your real estate needs!
