I have lived in the Salt Lake Valley my entire life, which has given me a deep understanding of the local market, neighborhoods, and communities that make this area such a special place to live. From the east bench neighborhoods near the University of Utah to the growing communities throughout the valley, I love helping clients find the right place to call home.

Over time, I discovered a particular passion for helping medical professionals navigate the home buying process. This niche became especially meaningful to me because my husband is a local pediatrician, and I experienced firsthand the long and demanding journey that physicians go through during their training years.

My husband and I actually met on our very first day of college, and we were married shortly after I completed my undergraduate degree. From there, we walked through every stage of the medical path together. Undergraduate studies, medical school, residency, and eventually the transition into practice.

Because of that experience, I understand the unique challenges physicians face when it comes to housing decisions. The long hours, demanding schedules, relocation for training programs, significant student loan balances, and the uncertainty that can come with Match Day all make the home buying process look very different for medical professionals than it does for many other buyers.

I also understand the financial transition that often occurs when moving from residency into an attending position, and how important it is to make thoughtful, strategic decisions during that time even if it means transitioning your current home to an investment property with a management company.
