I’ve been a very vocal advocate for affordable housing. My passion for sustainable communities and affordable housing led me to Petersburg, Virginia. I’ve partnered with the City of Petersburg on a revitalization project where we’re building affordable housing. We’ve partnered with several grant programs to give buyers access to grant funding to assist with their down payment and closing cost.
I’m passionate about real estate and I love what I do.
I look forward to assisting you with your real estate needs.
