What drives me in real estate is the opportunity to help people make informed decisions based on their goals, make the best financial decisions for their circumstances and build long-term wealth through real estate.
To me, real estate has never been just about buying and selling properties. I’ve been an entrepreneur, investor, business owner, hotelier and real estate professional, so I understand transactions from more than one side of the table. I understand the risk, the responsibility and the possibilities that come with every decision.
What I love most is helping people see opportunities they may not have considered. Sometimes that means helping a family find the right home. Other times, it’s helping a business owner, hotelier or investor understand how a property can create income, build wealth or become part of their long-term legacy.
My passion is especially strong in commercial real estate and hospitality because every property has a story, a business behind it and potential that isn’t always obvious on paper.
At the end of the day, I’m driven by relationships, problem-solving and helping people make thoughtful real estate decisions that move their lives and businesses forward.
My areas of expertise include commercial real estate, hospitality, investment properties, retail, mixed-use properties, land and development opportunities, business and real estate acquisitions, luxury residential and new construction.
Hospitality is a significant focus of my commercial real estate practice, including hotels and motels, acquisitions and dispositions, investment analysis, property positioning and connecting owners and investors with opportunities.
As a longtime entrepreneur, investor, business owner and hotelier myself, I bring a practical ownership perspective to my clients. I understand that commercial real estate is not just about the property. It is about cash flow, operations, financing, value creation, risk and the long-term goals behind the investment.
I also have extensive experience in residential real estate, allowing me to work with clients across different stages of their real estate and investment journey.
My strength is looking beyond the transaction, understanding the bigger picture and helping clients evaluate opportunities so they can make informed real estate and financial decisions.
What makes me unique is that I don’t approach real estate only from a broker’s perspective. I have been on the other side of the table as an entrepreneur, investor, business owner and hotelier, so I understand firsthand what it means to put your own money at risk, operate a business, own the real estate and make decisions that affect your family and financial future.
That experience allows me to look beyond simply closing a transaction. I naturally think about the questions an owner or investor should be asking: Does the investment make financial sense? What are the risks? Where is the opportunity to add value? What could affect cash flow, operations or resale? And most importantly, does this property actually fit the client’s goals?
I also bring experience across residential, commercial, investment and hospitality real estate, which gives me a broader perspective when evaluating opportunities.
I believe my role is not to convince someone to buy or sell. It is to ask the right questions, uncover opportunities they may not have considered and give them the information and perspective they need to make the decision that is right for them.
Giving back and serving others have always been important to me. I served as a local school board member for nine years and have spent many years supporting youth through the YMCA and other community initiatives.
I am a strong advocate for mentoring the next generation and have served for several years as a KW Next Gen Quantum Leap instructor, teaching and mentoring young adults. I am also an active supporter and volunteer with Eric’s Journey Foundation, supporting the rare disease community globally.
One of the most meaningful parts of my service is Mission Mihir, created in memory of my late husband, through which we support students with scholarships and opportunities for their future.
I believe true leadership is about serving, teaching, mentoring and using your experiences to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
I have several years of speaking, teaching and mentoring experience through KW Next Gen as a Quantum Leap instructor, focusing on mindset, goal setting, leadership and personal development.
I have also had the opportunity to speak on the KW Family Reunion platform, participate as a speaker and contributor in mastermind groups, and share my experience within the real estate community. My teaching is grounded in real-world experience as a real estate professional, investor, entrepreneur and hotelier, with a focus on helping others learn, grow and take action.
