I could say that selling homes is what I do—but what truly sets my work apart is my commitment to selling Vermillion, South Dakota real estate. That perspective benefits buyers, sellers, and real estate investors alike. Vermillion is one of those rare communities that reveals its value once you find the right place to call home, and my role as a Vermillion SD Realtor® is to help clients see both the property and the long-term potential.
As an experienced real estate agent in Vermillion, SD, I bring expertise across all facets of residential and commercial real estate. My background includes working with first-time home buyers, investment properties, income-producing buildings, commercial real estate, historic and older homes, and property management. I’ve personally owned investment homes and buildings, which allows me to offer practical, investor-minded insight and strategic guidance. I also hold the CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) and GRI (Graduate, REALTOR® Institute) designations—
I came to the University of South Dakota in 1997 and chose to stay, build a business, and make Vermillion my home. Before becoming a Vermillion Realtor and Property Manager, I owned and operated a successful business, shaping my professional, detail-oriented, and results-driven approach. As a parent, I can’t imagine raising my daughter anywhere else—giving me a personal understanding of what families, professionals, and investors are looking for when relocating to or investing in Vermillion.
Finding the right house is important. Finding the right community is essential. Vermillion offers an exceptional quality of life, from USD’s athletics, arts, and cultural events to our historic downtown Vermillion, local restaurants, community theater, library, and family-friendly activities. My deep local knowledge and community involvement allow me to help clients confidently buy a home in Vermillion, sell a home in Vermillion, or identify strong real estate investment opportunities.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I’m here to provide trusted guidance, local expertise, and a seamless real estate experience—helping you not just move, but truly feel at home in Vermillion, South Dakota.
