Home Buyer's Guide

Born and raised in the scenic Hudson Valley of New York, I grew up experiencing the best of both worlds — the tranquil beauty of the Catskill Mountains and the fast-paced vibrance of New York City. While my roots run deep, I always dreamed of sunshine-filled days and life near the coast. After college and a few valuable life lessons, I made that dream a reality and moved to the beautiful Myrtle Beach area — and I’ve never looked back.
My husband and I were married in the charming coastal town of Litchfield, and we knew instantly the Grand Strand would be our forever home. Now, as a proud mom of three energetic boys, I understand firsthand how important it is to find a home — not just a house — that fits your lifestyle and brings your family joy.
With a background in client-focused service and a passion for people, real estate was a natural fit. Over the years, I’ve helped more than 200 families buy, sell, and invest in real estate across Myrtle Beach, Litchfield, Murrells Inlet, Conway, and the entire Horry County area. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, a relocation client, a vacation home seeker, or an investor looking for the perfect property, I’m here to help you navigate the market with clarity, confidence, and care.
I specialize in residential real estate, vacation homes, investment properties, and coastal living, and I bring a detail-oriented, personalized approach to every transaction. My goal is simple: to make your home buying or selling experience smooth, rewarding, and maybe even a little fun.
With the power of a strong team behind me and a deep love for this vibrant coastal community, I’m honored to be a trusted real estate advisor here in the Carolinas. Whether you're moving to the area, relocating within it, or looking to list your home for top dollar, I’d love the opportunity to guide you every step of the way.
Let’s turn your real estate goals into your next great adventure — and welcome you home to the Grand Strand.

Mary went above and beyond when helping us move this summer. We were 1000 miles away in search of a forever home in Myrtle Beach to raise our family. Despite the distance, not only did she make the impossible happen but the transition felt seamless.
