I was born and raised in northern California and spent my formative years in Santa Cruz when Santa Cruz was a sleepy little beach town. That’s where I met Bill who was also raised in SC.
After nursing school, I settled in Critical Care and then in Nephrology nursing for the next 27 years until joining my husband in founding Community Real Estate in McCall in 2003. Bill’s experience was in the new community housing market and he was hired by Pete O’Neill to manage sales and marketing at Spring Mountain Ranch. That is how we made our way to the Idaho mountain/beach town of McCall after just 3 years in Boise.
Hiking and snowshoeing with my Vizslas, kids and grandkids, enjoying neighborhood friends and family, winemaking and drinking, Pilates and welcoming new members of the community has become my pastime, my enjoyment, and my work.
Introducing new visitors, and some old ones too, to the pleasures of living in the high country where energy pollution doesn’t exist is how I see my new profession as Real Estate Associate.
Bill taught me as well as many of our dedicated agents and colleagues much about the industry and life in general. He loved McCall and enjoyed becoming involved in the community.
After his passing in early 2016 and with the support of loving family and friends, and dedicated colleagues I decided to simplify and to have more time to enjoy my life and relationships and to serve and assist my clients to find their homes in McCall. This year, along with five others, I joined with the agents at Crawford Olson Real Estate.
For the past 14 years I have lived in Jug Mountain Ranch and really feel a part of a community that has grown to over 50 families that enjoy the high mountains, fresh air and quality of life that McCall offers.
My sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren all love to visit me here!

My experience in the real estate profession began in 1997, when I became a licensed Sales Associate in Spokane, Washington. In 2001, I moved to McCall, and decided to further my career in real estate after learning McCall ranked top ten nationally as an area to invest in second homes.
McCall continues to be one of the nation’s favorite places to vacation: Where the Nation Vacations: The Hottest Markets for Second Homes.
I earned my Brokers License in 2005, completed the Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) designation, and later became certified as a Short Sale Foreclosure Resource (SFR) through the National Association of Realtors. These designations allow me to stay up to date with the constantly changing real estate market. I have experience in 1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges, and new construction. Having built my own home, I am experienced in the process of building and the steps needed to make the project successful.
As a full time Realtor, I represent both buyers & sellers. Whether you are looking to sell your property, relocate to McCall, invest in a second home or a rental property; let me assist you in fulfilling your goals. With competence and a strong work ethic, I will go the extra mile for you.
I love living in McCall with my husband, Matt, our pup, DeeOGee, & Lola Kitty. Activities, I enjoy most are rafting, backpacking, skiing, and hiking. Everyday I am grateful to reside and work is such a pleasant mountain community.
