As a Realtor®, Master Naturalist, Director with the National Loon Center Foundation and Whitefish Area Property Owners Association. I’m committed to providing my clients with the best real estate knowledge and service to help meet their buying and selling goals as well as equipping them with best stewardship knowledge and community connection to thrive for years to come.

I hope everyone had a fantastic August full of fun, family, friends and memories!!! As we are approaching the unofficial end of summer it's tough to look at the above picture without fond memories and nostalgia already. BUT the most beautiful season is coming upon us! It is a great time of the year to think of purchasing a lake home! The interest rates are starting to go down, inventory is picking up and there is still plenty of time to enjoy the lakes and nature!!



If you are thinking of listing, please reach out for a free, no obligation consultation to learn how to prepare for selling and discussing the right price and process to reach your selling goals!



On the community and nature front, we had Loons and Lakes Trivia at 14 Lakes Brewery in Crosslake on August 15. We had an excellent turn out!! If you are in the area on September 5, we will have Loon and Lakes Trivia at Red Pine Cookhouse in Emily. also, on September 26 we will have it at 14 Lakes Brewery in Crosslake!! That weekend also brings Crosslake Days to town!! This is a great time to enjoy all that the community has to offer as well as a great time to do a little home shopping!!
