What is the most real estate closing packages you've closed in one week? 

During the real estate boom, probably close to 20 or more.

What is your favorite part of doing real estate closings?

The work is repetitious to some degree, but because I like working with numbers, I enjoy putting together the closing statements.  When the transaction is not in balance, I enjoy analyzing all the numbers to see where corrections need to be made in order to balance. Also, buying and/or selling a home can be somewhat stressful for some, so I like communicating with all parties - realtors, lenders, buyers, and sellers - and assisting in making the closing experience as stress free as possible.

Favorite TV show?

Previously Scandal, but since it is no longer on the air, How to Get Away with Murder.

Are you involved in any charities or do any volunteer Work?

I am active in my church where we have several outreach programs, one of which is the visiting chef program at the Ronald McDonald House.  We have been doing it for about 6 years.  For a couple of years it was twice a month, but beginning in January of this year, we only do it once a month.

You can only watch three movies the rest of your life. What are they? 

Man on Fire, Life, and John Q

What did you want to be when you were little?

Elementary School Teacher
