One might think that being the daughter of a man who, historically, was one of Chicago’s most charismatic and esteemed restaurateurs would be what most shaped my life. I was most influenced, however, at age eleven when my family moved to Arizona and I was introduced to horse community of Old Town Scottsdale. Scottsdale was remarkable back then: “The West’s Most Western Town,\" where the roads were yet to be paved, horses had the right of way, and we tied our horses to the hitching rails that lined Scottsdale Road. It was there I learned that to achieve my goals, you had to work hard, be honest, responsible, and resourceful. I left Scottsdale a few times, long enough to achieve some milestones,yet each time I returned. With my son, Ryan, in San Diego, I created a renowned French restaurant- one of the finest in southern CA. In Massachusetts, I graduated from Harvard, and did volunteer work, including positions on Boards of two respected art schools. I also had a successful modeling career, as well as marketing and public relations, wedding and event coordination. In all these areas, my skills were refined in a most decisive way.I have owned nine residential properties, and several investment properties. Of note, I owned, and renovated, the “Captain Christopher Reed House,” a Georgian Colonial built in 1818 in Lexington, MA. In 1982, I first held my AZ real estate license.In 2014, returning to Arizona, again I earned my real estate license. Today, I specialize in horse properties, relocation (having done so myself), and in second homes. In each area, I draw upon my personal experience, and knowledge of the area. From the once dusty roads of Scottsdale, the orchards of Arcadia, and Paradise Valley, to the vistas of Fountain Hills and the Rio Verde Foothills, and southwestern character of Carefree/Cave Creek, I know it all. I will help you find the lifestyle to create your memories, for your unique and most significant life.
