After decades in the business, I’ve learned that buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction; it’s a turning point. My job is to make that transition smooth, informed, and a little bit fun, whether you’re moving across town or across the ocean. 

Home has always been the heartbeat of our family, too. Bob and I have been married over 40 years, and our four grown children have scattered to London, Denver, and Washington, D.C. Visiting them ignited a serious travel bug, so if I’m not writing contracts, you’ll probably catch me checking flight deals or planning the next “all-hands-on-deck” vacation. The best part? I’m now “Gigi” to two sweet grandchildren—with a third on the way—which means even more adventures (and excuses for extra hugs). 

Family ties run straight through my business. My son Blake works alongside me every day, and my sister Kim Ackerman—a seasoned agent licensed in Ohio, Georgia, and Florida—adds multi-state expertise to the mix. We’ve also welcomed Daniel Sullivan, whose fresh perspective and client-first mindset round out our growing crew. No matter how big the team gets, I stay personally involved in each deal because my clients deserve a trusted adviser, not just a brand name. 

Giving back is woven into my calendar, too. I tutor second-graders in the One-to-One Reading Program and support causes like Compassion International, JDRF, Tunnels to Towers, the Notre Dame Academy Investment Club, and United Way—small ways to keep the circle of care going. 

If you’re ready to make a move, let’s talk. I’ll bring the experience, integrity, and genuine enthusiasm; you bring the dream. Together we’ll find the place that feels unmistakably like home.
