Your trusted advisor on the Eastern Shore.
Waterfront, historic and lifestyle properties across Kent, Queen Anne’s and Talbot — represented in person, with global reach and local insight.
I’m there to tell it.
There is no lockbox on my listings. I attend every showing personally, so buyers understand the intrinsic value of Eastern Shore living — the waterways, the historic towns, the community — and sellers are represented by someone who knows their home.
For sellers who prefer discretion, I also guide private and off-market sales, and I help second-home buyers with local resources for a smooth, turnkey transition.
Strolling along Chestertown's historic waterfront on a summer day
or watching snow fall silently on a frozen creek, you will understand the allure of The Eastern ShoreÂť

Living on the Eastern Shore
Growing up in Baltimore, my family and I always maintained a very close connection with the Eastern Shore and specifically Chestertown. My father studied at Washington College where he grew lifelong friends. I came down as a child to hunt waterfowl and enjoy the bounties of the area's waterways.
I worked and lived overseas in international business for close to the past decade before relocating my family to Chestertown. During my time abroad I learned Spanish, patience, and acquired a greater understanding of the world. With my sales background, interest in architecture, farms and history, Real Estate was a natural second career for me in Kent County. Participating in the community provides insight for my business. I have been an active founding member of "Eñe", Kent County's Hispanic Association and also a member of The Shelter Alliance, a non profit aimed at finding and maintaining a shelter for Kent County's homeless and unhoused. I also assist Bad Alfred's Brewing in Chestertown with their brewing operations as a side passion project.
Local communities are rich in culture and heritage and I enjoy introducing people to this unique and beautiful area. Those looking for a 'Second Home' will find my local resources for a smooth, turnkey transition helpful. I will be happy to offer my expertise and knowledge of the local real estate market to assist you in searching for that special property.
