Why Alyssa
A different path to your front door.
Before real estate, I spent 20+ years in veterinary medicine, including a rare cardiology specialty certification held by fewer than 50 people in the world. That work shaped how I show up for you now: detail-oriented, analytical, and calm under pressure when the stakes feel high.
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. My job is to make it feel clear, not stressful. I lead with empathy, earn your trust, and guide you through the high-pressure moments with steady, honest confidence.
The result is boutique-level, personalized service, the kind of guidance you'd hope to get from a trusted friend who also happens to be a pro.

Alyssa went out of her way to work through the challenges and complications that came with us trying to sell our previous home and purchase a new one. She took to heart exactly what we were looking for and made it a reality. Even after the sale she made sure everything was going as planned and working out the way we wanted it to!
