Credentials

Education is key. Believing that, I continue to learn as much as I can about real estate, investment, and life. I have earned the coveted Certified International Property Specialist degree (CIPS) and have earned both the Certified Residential Specialist degree (CRS) which only 2% of the nation's REALTORS receive, and the Graduate REALTOR Institute degree (GRI). I also belong to the National and International Association of REALTORS and have served on the local board here in Chapel Hill .

I am a member of the local Chamber of Commerce and The Chapel Hill Board of REALTORS. I serve as a volunteer on a variety of commissions and committees, among them Carrboro’s Downtown Development Commission, the Chamber’s Work Force Housing Council, and the Board of REALTORS Affordable Housing Committee. In 2004, I received the REALTOR of the Year Award from the The Chapel Hill Board of REALTORS, the Village Pride Award from WCHL Radio, the Citizen of the Year Award from the Chamber of Commerce and the Citizenship Award from the North Carolina Association of REALTORS (NCAR). In past years, I received the Associate of the Year Award from the Home Builders Association.

I believe in supporting the arts and thus you'll find advertising for Terra Nova Global Properties in publications like the North Carolina Symphony and the Arts Center playbill. We sponsor local artists and host artists’ receptions to spotlight their exhibits at Terra Nova.

I am a Notary Public. And to serve my Spanish speaking clients, yo hablo español también. I have recently received my Italian citizenship, thus holding dual citizenship.
