REALTOR®, GRI

What started as a curiosity of learning about the real estate field developed into a professional career. I earned my degree in Business Administration in Europe and began my career working as a Management Consultant for small and medium size companies. Over the years, I worked in various positions in accounting and banking before joining the real estate industry three years ago. Athens has been my home for more than a decade and I love that it provides the lively and vibrant atmosphere of the city while also maintaining the serenity and peaceful settings of country life just a few minutes down the road.

When I moved to Athens, I became familiar with the real estate market in town and in surrounding areas. While searching and analyzing the housing market, I had become interested and fascinated by the constantly changing, evolving, and competitive nature of the real estate field.

Working in management consulting, banking, and accounting, I have acquired a solid set of analytical and organizational skills which are beneficial in advising and helping my clients reach their real estate needs. The excitement and sparkles in the clients’ eyes when they find the right fit for them is by far the most precious moment of the process for me. The uniqueness of every real estate transaction offers me the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives by helping find their dream home, which brings me tremendous joy. 

I hold the professional certification in management accounting and financial management field of Certified Management Account (CMA). In the last year, I have earned the NAR’s Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) and Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) certifications. Corcoran Classic Living has always impressed me, even before becoming a real estate agent, by conducting business with attention to quality, respect, and professionalism. Providing the highest level of service is my main priority, which is in congruence with the culture Corcoran Classic Living promotes. Like many of us at Corcoran Classic Living, service within my community is really important to me; helping others is the only way to live my life! Volunteering, supporting various organizations, and participating in fundraising events are just a few avenues through which I help our community.
