After more than 20 years in a middle school language arts classroom, there is not much that I can’t handle! In 2017 I decided to put down the red pen and shift my focus from working with students and their writing plans to working with families and their house plans. My years as a teacher, along with my previous careers in banking and non-profit, have equipped me with a wide range of knowledge, experience, and skills that I use daily to help my clients buy and sell residential properties. Because I am organized and detail-oriented, I can handle the negotiations and fine points of the transaction so that my clients can enjoy an exciting, stress-free home-buying or home-selling experience.
Since I grew up in Mountain Brook and spent my childhood years in and around different parts of Birmingham, I am very familiar with this area. After college, my husband Beau and I decided to make Birmingham our home and raise our two boys here. It was the best decision for our family! Now that we are empty-nesters, Beau and I still live in Mountain Brook with our two basset hounds, Duke and Rosie. They keep our “Byrd nest” full!
Whether you are just beginning to consider a move or seriously looking, I would love to explore the great neighborhoods of Birmingham with you to find the perfect fit for you and your family. It won’t take long for you to see that Birmingham really is a great place to call “home”!
