Year started in real estate: 1994

How did you get started in real estate? I think I must have the gene. I grew up in the area and have had an interest in real estate ever since I can remember. My background in retail decorative home goods with Neiman Marcus has been very beneficial in my successful home-staging service for sellers.

How long with the current company? Six years

Licenses and designations: Real estate sales in Maryland and the District; certified buyer representative

Associations: Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors, Washington D.C. Area Association of Realtors, National Association of Realtors

Awards: Evers & Co. Real Estate top five in sales, 2004-07; greatest number of transactions, 2007; No. 2 in volume, 2007.

Greatest accomplishment in the past 12 months: Having my best year ever in 2007 despite the real estate slowdown.

What is your area of specialty? Staging and marketing

Highest-priced home sold: $1,300,000

Most memorable house: The house had an underground storage tank, still in use, that turned out to be leaking. The cleanup delayed settlement by about four months.

Most challenging experience: My sellers and I found out at the settlement table that their garage was about two feet over an easement. We had to get the owners of seven houses to agree to a modification of the easement in the last week in December.

Age: 43

Family: Husband, Duncan; children Malcolm, Eli and Katie

Pets: Two hermit crabs.

Education: Bachelor of science in business, University of Maryland, 1994
