As a real estate sales agent with Coldwell Banker Upton-Massamont, I work exclusively with both buyers and sellers, but currently specialize in HOME BUYER REPRESENTATION. I got my start in real estate as a property manager/landlord and owner of investment properties. With several years experience under my belt on the consumer side of real estate, I decided to take the plunge and became a licensed real estate agent in 2004. I have sold many different kinds of properties from tiny cottages to sprawling older Victorians. Assisting buyers with owner-occupied 2 family homes has been especially rewarding. Sellers who want to put their best foot forward can count on me to offer customized suggestions for home enhancement and staging. Other real estate markets that I enjoy focusing on: First Time Home Buyers, Exclusive Buyer Representation, Residential Seller Services, Retirement & Downsizing, Rental Properties.<br/><br/>Although Northampton/Florence is my home base, I provide real estate services in most of Hampshire, Franklin and Hampden counties. My clients benefit from the personal attention of a Realtor very familiar with life in the Pioneer Valley, as well as enjoying the tools, services and exposure offered through Coldwell Banker, a national company with an extensive marketing network. Coldwell Banker Upton-Massamont Realtors has earned the reputation as a top agency in the Pioneer Valley. Our success is the result of experience, hard work and a dedication to customer satisfaction. CBUM is locally owned, with offices in Northampton, South Deerfield and Shelburne Falls. Our affiliation with Coldwell Banker gives our customers unsurpassed national visibility.<br/><br/>In addition to my experience in real estate, I have a strong connection to the music and arts community as a freelance flutist, composer, teacher and member of the Lisa Leizman Dance Co, the resident dance company of the Northampton Center for the Arts. For about 20 years, I've managed a private flute studio, teaching students from age 5 to 75. I have enjoyed living in Northampton and being a part of this wonderful community since graduating from Westfield State College in 1991. And, having grown up in Springfield MA, the 'city of homes', I am very familiar with life in the beautiful Pioneer Valley.<br/><br/>"KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
