What is the most challenging part of what you do? Time management! When you want so much to make you clients’ dreams come true, it is hard to turn off the phone and not make this a 24/7 job.
Where were you born? I was born in Michigan. My husband and I moved to the Colorado in 1987.
What do you enjoy most when you are not working? My family has to be the most important focus of my life. Spending time with my husband, cooking family dinners and just hanging out with my children. I also love to read and volunteer.
What do you like the most about it? I love how close Golden is to the Denver Metro area yet we are still able to enjoy all that the Rocky Mountains have to offer my family and clients.

How long have you been in Real Estate and what is your specialty, what does it mean to the people I work with? I bought my first home when I was 21 years old. My husband and I have had rental properties since 2001. I have been a Realtor for just over 3 years. Moving my career into buying and selling homes was just a natural. My business partner, Brian Quarnstrom and I have an office in downtown Golden and just love the people aspect of this profession. I think coming from a service-oriented job as a certified dental assistant, has

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R
We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.
