Real estate brings together many of the things that have interested me throughout my life: economics and markets, problem solving, design, and helping people make important decisions.
My academic background includes an honors degree in economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a PhD in education policy from the University of Michigan. My training in economics, research, and education influences the way I approach real estate—closely examining data, asking good questions, and translating what I learn into practical decisions.
A statistic rarely tells the whole story, and neither does a comparable sale. Every transaction presents its own set of questions. For sellers, those questions may involve preparing a home, presenting its strongest features, and positioning it among the alternatives buyers are considering. For buyers, they may involve evaluating value, investigating a property, and understanding tradeoffs.
I want my clients to understand their options and the reasoning behind a recommendation. Good guidance helps identify what matters most, brings clarity to the decision, and makes the next step easier.
The Pioneer Valley has been an important part of my life since I came to UMass Amherst as an undergraduate. Today, I work with sellers and buyers throughout the region, with a particular focus on Amherst and Northampton and the surrounding Five College area. I value the relationships I build through this work and the opportunity to help people through decisions that matter in their lives.
