The Albuquerque East Mountain area is my home. I love living in the mountains, and I'm sure you will too, so that's why I chose to specialize in selling homes here. Moving can be so stressful and overwhelming. I KNOW! Before I moved here in 1998, I had to move nine times in six years. Please give me the opportunity to make your next move as worry-free as possible. Just call me the STRESS BUSTER!

Why I became a Real Estate Agent
Perceptive people told me for years to delve into the world of real estate. I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico the first time in 1995. I was a Sales Manager for a company based out of Fort Worth, Texas. I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico for two and a half years, and was two weeks away from being relocated; when I was introduced to the most magnificent gentleman I had ever had the pleasure of meeting. Stan Schug and I had a 15-month long distance relationship before he convinced me to marry him, find a new vocation, and move into the mountains just east of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I was marketing vacation ownership in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a position for which obtaining my New Mexico Real Estate License was mandatory. My office in Santa Fe, New Mexico, was 60 miles from home and I drove back and forth for over two years, when one of Stan’s best friends Neil Schuit introduced me to Pam, a Real Estate Agent. She was so kind, so sold on real estate, that I decided to go for it. I absolutely love being in Real Estate!

If you have any questions about New Mexico property, no matter which company has it listed, I can help, so call me at 505-264-3005 or send me an email.
