From Design to Downsizing: How I Found My Calling in Charleston Real Estate

Jun 18, 2025
2 min read

I was born and raised in South Carolina, and after years of visiting, I finally made the move to Charleston in 2016. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this vibrant, welcoming city was exactly where I was meant to be.

With a degree in Interior Design and nearly three decades in corporate sales and management, I’ve always had a passion for helping people—and for making spaces feel like home. In 2017, I decided to take a leap of faith and transition into real estate. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.

Today, I specialize as a Senior Living CPO expert, guiding older adults through one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives. Whether it’s downsizing, decluttering, or simply finding the right home for this next chapter, my approach is always thoughtful, respectful, and personal. It’s not just about selling a home—it’s about honoring a lifetime of memories and creating space for what’s next.


That same care extends to every client I work with—whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, or letting go of a place that’s meant a lot to you. I listen closely, ask the right questions, and help you make confident choices without ever feeling rushed. I love solving problems, negotiating strategically, and doing what’s truly best for the people I serve.

Outside of real estate, I’m a proud mom to my amazing 29-year-old son and dog mom to my sweet mini labradoodle, Bella. I love entertaining, spending time on the water, exploring Charleston’s incredible food scene, and finding live music whenever I can. There’s just something about this city—its energy, charm, and beauty never get old.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your real estate journey like her own—with care, integrity, and heart—I’d love to connect. Let’s make something great happen together.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

¹ “Full-Market Cash Offer” refers to an offer calculated using the property’s estimated as-is market value and applicable program terms. It is not an appraisal or guaranteed sale price. The stated 14-day timing is an estimate for qualifying properties and is not guaranteed.

² The approximately 80% figure is an estimate of the gross cash offer before applicable fees, costs, liens, taxes, closing expenses, or other deductions. Actual offers vary.

³ The 70% upfront and 90–110% figures estimate potential gross proceeds under the renovation-and-resale program. The 90–110% range is measured against the property’s estimated pre-renovation, as-is market value. Final proceeds depend on program terms, costs, and the eventual resale price and may be higher or lower than estimated.
