She actively lists homes for sale AND represents buyers and has a strategic methodology to guide first-time buyers. About the older homes and neighborhoods, she says, "Transitioning urban neighborhoods can differ greatly from area to area, and even from block to block. If you are considering buying or selling an older home, make sure your agent has the experience to guide you through these very specific transactions.
