Your Flagstaff Real Estate Advisor

Real estate in Flagstaff is an experience, not a transaction — and since 2001, I've had the privilege of advising more than 500 buyers and sellers through it. As an Associate Broker with Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty, I bring the local expertise of a lifelong Flagstaff resident, paired with the global reach and curated marketing of the world's most trusted luxury real estate brand.
My path here started on the builder side — new construction, custom homes, and land throughout Flagstaff's most sought-after communities — before evolving into advising sellers and buyers across every corner of this market. That range gives me a rare vantage point: I don't just know these neighborhoods, I helped shape many of them.
Whether you're searching for a distinctive Northern Arizona property or preparing to sell one, you deserve more than a transaction — you deserve an expert advisor by your side, backed by Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty Arizona and a network that spans the globe.

I Know How These Homes Were Built

Ten years on the builder side in Ponderosa Trails, Farmhouse Estates and Pinnacle Pines and more taught me what's behind the drywall and what a home is really worth.
