The Fredericksburg Area Association of REALTORS® Member Spotlight feature allows members of the community to get to know each other before working with each other in a transaction. Each member answers a series of questions to reveal more about themselves as people. It is FAAR’s hope that learning about an individual may spark connections that blossom via email, phone conversations or in-person meetings at events and classes.

Why do you love working in real estate?
I love being a blessing to others and there is no better blessing than helping one purchase their first home!
Favorite Work Story
I learned years ago you never know where business will show up! Received a call from a potential investor interested in buying a Short Sale listing of mine to rent in western Spotsylvania. Perhaps not a good opportunity for an investor, but through hard work and dedication we have conducted six transactions together!
What are you most proud of in your career?
I am most proud of staying the course regardless the type of market we experience. I learned years ago markets change and nothing lasts forever! Learn all you can to accommodate clients in any type of market.
Do you have a special cause or volunteer your time?
I’ve been a volunteer nurse for my Church since 1999. I love being a first responder for the Lord and being there for those needing my help rather it is spiritual or a sickness. I truly believe lives were saved because I was in the right place at the right time.
Fun Fact
My husband and I experienced “Love at first sight” on Thanksgiving 1978! We married nine months after meeting and currently celebrating over 41 years of blissfulness. Robert continues to treat me like his Queen.
