Whether volunteering with a team of agents for Rebuilding Together Alexandria, working at The Twig Thrift Shop to support INOVA Alexandria Hospital, raising funds for Lucky Dog Animal RescueThe Art League and ALIVE! or pitching in to collect food for furloughed government employees...giving back to this city means the world to me.

When I moved to Alexandria 30 years ago, I knew three people, was in the job market, and needed to find a place to live that would accept my 70-pound dog. Looking back...without the support of the community, the local organizations and the people that I met, it would have been overwhelming.

When I joined Corcoran McEnearney's Alexandria office, I knew I had made the right decision. John McEnearney created a company that went above and beyond just selling and buying homes for clients. He wanted to give back to the communities that helped grow our firm.

I found my home in Alexandria. I would be happy to help you find yours...
