603.731.5151

Born and raised in Massachusetts, I have been fortunate enough to live in a number of different states. After graduating from UMass with a degree in Forestry, I moved to California and worked for the US Forest Service for nine years. My husband, Rick Flint, and I, both skiers, relocated to a ski resort in southern NH, then to western Maine at Sunday River, and then lived up in the mountains of southern Utah at 10,000 ft. at a ski resort town called Brian Head. In 2000, we moved to New London and have happily lived here ever since. I have been a full-time licensed REALTOR® since 1994, starting in Utah and continuing on in the New London area.

I'm low key, even-tempered and enjoy working with people who have a sense of humor. I feel my attention to detail and responsiveness to my clients is the key to my success. Whether buying or selling, my years of experience will help you avoid the common pitfalls of real estate and make your home-buying process as smooth as possible .
