maplewood, NJ


It's not a house...it's a home. Whether you are buying or selling, it's important to remember that distinction. Your home is the place where memories are built. Four years ago, I left New York City for the leafy suburbs of New Jersey and I've never looked back. Maplewood and South Orange are picturesque towns bursting with beautiful houses -- Colonials, Arts and Crafts bungalows, Tudors and Victorians. Driving around these towns, it's hard to imagine you're a mere 30 minutes on the Midtown Direct train from the bustle of the city. It's one of the reasons Maplewood and South Orange are popular commuter towns. That easy commute coupled with a thriving artists' community, great schools, families of all ages and inviting shopping districts have earned the area the nickname "Park Slope West." But you can get much more for your money here. That's where I come in. Let me help you find the perfect home.

A Maplewood resident, devoted wife and loving mom, I started my career as a journalist, writing about music, fashion, style and film, but I always loved looking at houses. So I took that love and made it a career. You'd be hard-pressed to find a real estate agent more enthusiastic and passionate about these towns and the real estate market in general.  I found my dream home here -- now let me help you find yours.
