I was born and raised in Pittsburgh in the northern suburbs, attended Winchester Thurston and graduated from Shady Side Academy. I left Pittsburgh for college in upstate New York at Colgate University, then attended law school at William & Mary School of Law in Williamsburg, Virginia but could not resist the pull back to Pittsburgh. As soon as we were able, my family and I relocated back home to the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh and bought our first home with the help of our very patient agent whom I still consider a friend over a decade later. As our boys grew into teens we needed more space so, recently we sold our first Pittsburgh home. We purchased an older home in the heart of Hampton and worked with a contractor and team to transform it into our home.

I understand the excitement of purchasing a home, whether it is your first, tenth or an investment property. Stress and confusion come with both buying and selling.  My education and experience as a licensed attorney as well as my passion for Pittsburgh and love of real estate can help you achieve your real estate goals and make the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.

In addition to being an experienced attorney, I also have training and experience as a mediator and in collaborative law which has given me incredible tools to use during real estate negotiations and to achieve win-win deals for my clients. I understand the importance of the details, the art of negotiation, the intricacies of contracts, and the value of using my network to help you achieve the best resolution. I will help you understand the process through every step so that you feel comfortable and can make the right decisions. Whether you are buying your first home, moving to or away from the Pittsburgh area, or transitioning into a new home to fit your changing needs, I will be there for you every step of the way.
