Sharon's Resume
A seasoned real estate broker with deep roots in Central Virginia, I bring over 20 years of experience helping clients buy and sell farms, country homes, estates, and investment properties. Licensed in Virginia and North Carolina, I specialize in land, equestrian properties, sporting estates, and homes with character. I combine my background in commercial real estate finance—as a former SVP at Wells Fargo—with a hands-on, local approach from my home base in Keswick. Whether you're listing a legacy property or searching for a special place in the countryside, I provide knowledgeable, discreet, and personalized service backed by strong negotiation and market insight.
