Q: What does home ownership mean to you?
A: Owning and creating your own home is a privilege you just can’t take for granted. When I was growing up in Soviet Lithuania, we didn’t get to choose where we lived. Our family of five shared a one-bedroom apartment that was assigned by my parents’ employer. So when I arrived here 26 years ago, home ownership was the cornerstone of my American Dream. It took many years of hard work, but I feel truly blessed to own a home I love in the community I adore. I never forget this when I’m helping my clients fulfill their dreams and navigate transitions.
Q: What’s the most fun in your work?
A: It has to be home-staging transformations! My home stager and I work very hard to prepare homes for the market and showcase them in the best possible light. We follow the latest design trends, make a plan and walk people through their own HGTV experience. Every Tuesday I post a #tuesdaytransformation on social media to showcase the dramatic “before and after.” Nothing is more satisfying than hearing “I can’t believe it’s my home!” from the seller.
Q: What keeps you going after 21 years of being a Realtor?
A: I’m a pure servant at heart, and I love helping people through their real estate transitions. It’s a process filled with stress, uncertainty and an overwhelming to do list. With warmth, expertise and hands-on help, we get through it together, one step at a time. That’s where I find my meaning.
