8.5/ 10
Very good
Recommended without reservation
A Northfield native with two decades of local closings and a clean 5.0-star record, best suited to buyers and sellers who want an agent who already knows the block.
Pros
- ✓Grew up in Northfield and still centers her business there — deep, lived-in local knowledge
- ✓5.0-star rating across 11 public (Google-sourced) reviews, with clients specifically citing responsiveness and candor about a home's flaws
- ✓104 closed sides over the trailing 5 years ($38.9M total) shows consistent, active production rather than one lucky year
- ✓Works both buyer and seller side in roughly even measure, so she isn't steering every client toward one type of deal
Cons
- ✗Career included a multi-year break (1998–2005) to raise her family, so her tenure isn't a single unbroken run
- ✗Review count (11) is solid but modest next to bigger regional teams
- ✗Generalist practice; no deep luxury, waterfront, or commercial specialization documented
