Greetings! I am an Associate Broker with Long, bringing 30+ years' experience with the preeminent real estate company in Tucson. In that time, I have met the most interesting, extraordinary people buying and selling homes, and I thank them for their continued referrals. I work together with buyers to find the property that speaks to them and has quality and features that will endure. Their ‘eyes are wide open’ when making that important purchase because of research and detailed inspections. My extensive marketing for Sellers is complemented by my guidance to maximize the allure and value of their real estate investment.
I sometimes refer to myself as a ‘refugee from academia’. A former 'big city girl' from New York, I met my husband, Richard, in grad school in California. His Astronomy career brought us to the University of Arizona and Tucson. I confess to not being excited about the move at first, but Tucson stole my heart. This is a great place to rear children; ours made strong friendships and built on their excellent public school educations to go to top-ranked colleges.
The physical beauty of the desert with our frame of mountain ranges is breathtaking. There is great hiking, and we have the southernmost ski destination in the continental United States! Our University of Arizona has attracted an international population and along with our world class resorts, has produced a dining scene that is exotic ethnic to elegant, and everything in between. We also have the full complement of the arts. There are live music performances for every taste, including early music, classical, pop and jazz. We offer comedy, local theater and Broadway touring companies. We have many of the good features of a city, but Tucson, dubbed ‘a big small town’ is so warm and inviting that before long, newcomers say that it feels like home.
