the coastal life!

The coastal lifestyle is special to me, as I moved from Pennsylvania to Wilmington in 1993 to attend the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW), where I majored in Geology & Geography. After graduation I worked for local land surveyors, working closely with real estate agents, builders and developers before becoming a full time real estate agent in 2002.

REALTOR®

The coastal lifestyle is special to me. I moved from Pennsylvania to Wilmington in 1993 to attend UNCW, where I studied Geology and Geography, and I’ve called the North Carolina coast home ever since. After working alongside real estate agents, builders, and developers as a land surveying professional, I became a full-time REALTOR® in 2002, and I now bring 24 years of experience to every transaction.

My GRI (Graduate REALTOR® Institute) and RSPS (Resort and Second Property Specialist) designations equip me to serve your coastal real estate needs, whether you’re buying a primary residence, a vacation home, or an investment property. I’ll also connect you with trusted local lenders, inspectors, and insurance agents to support every decision.

Working with Kristen was amazing! She helped us make a 30 year dream come true and we were able to move within walking distance of the beach.
