+ my story

To me, the process of helping our clients buy or sell their home that will become the place where the most meaningful experiences of their lives happen, is very serious business. The satisfaction of a job well done on behalf of our clientele is of the utmost importance to me and the relationships that have developed over a quarter of a century in Santa Fe are the most valuable gifts I have been given. The extraordinary people that I have come to know through the very personal process of buying and selling homes constantly inspire me.

For almost a quarter of a century (longer than I have lived anywhere else) my home has been Santa Fe, the City Different. Neil and I have spent most of our married life here, raised our children here and look forward to years of even more adventure here. For us, there is no better feeling than being a part of the fiber of this community. We love living among such an eclectic and interesting group of people who live, work, relax and play together. Neil’s mountain biking friends and our skiing friends range from people in their 20’s to those in their 70’s, with as broad a range of careers and interests. While I was born in New York and lived for many years in New England, I have happily chosen to be a Santa Fean.

When searching for our current house, I sought a house which would provide all the spaces we needed for our young(ish) family while in close proximity to the children’s school. I love the ocean and since that is one amenity we don’t have here, the sky is my substitute. I wanted large windows to bring the multi-colored glow of the sunrise and sunset into my home. The sky here is like a painter’s canvas: surprising me each day with a unique perspective. The “paintings” are vastly different from season to season, week to week and day to day. After 24 years, it still takes my breath away.

We want our clients to wake up in the morning and feel like there is no place they would rather be. If you want to be a part of this special place, we want to help find the right place for you. Of course, if you have been living here and life pulls you elsewhere, we want to do our utmost to make that transition be the best it can be.

Becoming part of the Neil Lyon Group at Sotheby’s International Realty, was something that was 30 years in the making. Marriage is the ultimate team relationship and the success of our personal team is something I am incredibly proud of. The trust, support and common goals Neil and I share on behalf of our clients is something we have honed during our years together and while parenting our two now-adult children.

A major goal in my life, both personally and professionally, is to treat people well and to make sure that my little corner of the world is a better place because of my contributions to it. I am deeply committed to the wellbeing of my family, friends and community at large. At the Neil Lyon Group, we pride ourselves on our work, our ethics and our dedication to helping our customers. We are grateful to those who came into our lives as clients and will stay a part of our life as friends.
