After moving back to Upstate NY, with her family, Colleen finally made the full-time transition to her beloved career in this dynamic field of Real Estate. 

Some of Colleen's greatest joys in this business are to help others see the potential, sense of freedom, and pride that comes with home ownership and building one's own equity, whether it is a first, middle, or vacation home purchase, and in helping Sellers who may have lived in the same home for 30 years, downsize and sell their very important and beloved home.  There are lots of emotions in this business and Colleen's calm demeanor and strategic approach are valuable assets to her clients throughout the process.

You may see them at her children's extracurricular events, out to dinner at a local pub (eating Colleen's favorite; Buffalo chicken wings), or boating on Honeoye Lake.
