Founder, Owner & President of The Realty Shop. Two decades in this market, more than $3 billion in career sales, and a deeply held belief that how this feels matters as much as how it ends.
It's about the transition — the wedding that calls for a first home, the growing family that needs more room, the quiet downsize after the kids have gone, the brave new chapter after a hard year. I've sat with people through all of it. That's the part I love, and it shaped everything about this firm.
After two decades and more than $3 billion in sales, I reached a turning point — in the business and in my own life. I could have kept doing things the usual way. Instead, I leaned in and built the firm I always wished existed: full control over the experience, deeper strategy, stronger systems, and no compromises on how clients are cared for.
The industry had always felt fragmented — too many vendors, too little coordination, too much pressure on the very people it was meant to serve. So I built The Realty Shop differently. Everything that shapes your experience lives under one roof and answers to one standard: mine.
That you should feel looked after, not sold to. That the right strategy is built around your life, not pulled off a shelf. That presentation is a form of respect — for the home and for the people who'll fall in love with it. And that the relationship is the real work; the transaction is just the part with a closing date.
I take the time to understand what you actually want. I tell you the truth, kindly, even when it isn't the easy thing to say. I surround you with a team I trust completely. And I stay — most of the people I work with become people I know for years, and many send me the people they love. That's the highest compliment in this business, and it's the one I work for.
This city — its neighborhoods, its families, its character — is where I've built my life and my life's work. I care about it the way you care about a place you never plan to leave.
A national award-winning agent, I've built The Realty Shop into one of the top-ranked brokerages in St. Louis and the state of Missouri, and founded our in-house media studio, Realty Shots. We're independent, locally owned, and entirely our own — and I wouldn't have it any other way.
