With more than 20 years of local real estate experience combined with my law degree, I can provide truly valuable insight for clients who need to navigate the legalities of real estate transactions.. I have always been intrigued with the role of an attorney as an advocate. The legal system is difficult to navigate, and I thought I could do more to assist people in a real property transaction with a law degree.   Unlike many other attorneys, I invested over twenty years in a real estate career prior to attending law school.  I am a licensed broker in both North Carolina and South Carolina.. Because of my background, I can help to set expectations of what may happen in the course of a client’s transaction. There are many things that can happen behind the scenes that we address so that our clients do not have to hassle with them.  Our goal is to make the transaction as seamless as possible.  The most rewarding part of a real property transaction is when the settlement takes place and each party is satisfied not only with what they have sold or purchased, but also what they are able to do as a result of it – some move on to build a family, some to retirement, some to develop property commercially.  No matter what a client is doing, they have a next step.  By making the real property transaction easier, I can help facilitate the next move.. I visit development and construction sites as often as I can.  If I drive by dirt and there is something going on, I am going to look at it to see what I can learn.  My broad perspective is my greatest strength as a Real Estate attorney.  My past experience gives me a firm grasp on the real estate transaction as a whole.  This offers a unique insight not only to what clients are going through during the course of the transaction, but the reasons for issues that may arise and alternative avenues to resolve them.. My husband and I have been married for twenty-three years, and we have one son, one dog, and two cats.  They are my biggest supporters, and I would not be here if not for my family.  What you do when no one is looking is the most important part of your character.  I apply this principle not only to my personal life, but to my practice of law.  My goal is to earn life-long clients.  To do that, my clients have to trust me to be their go-to resource.

As a business owner for over 30 years, I know many of the issues and challenges facing small to medium sized businesses today.  Since budgets are tight, owners have a tendency to wait until a problem arises.  That may have been an acceptable strategy 20 years ago, but can be fatal today.  A single lawsuit can cripple a business and distract owners and key employees for months.  We try to establish long term relationships with our clients so that we can anticipate issues and deal with them before they become problems.  Accordingly, we regularly meet with our clients to ensure they are fully protected.  We encourage anyone interested in this approach to call us and see if we are a good fit.
