My love for Italy started at an early age when I first saw images of the ruins of ancient Rome, the Trevi Fountain, and Venice. In my early 20s, I began to take trips to Italy, exploring its many different regions and cementing my desire to live there one day.  After nearly 15 years of teaching middle school and high school band in a suburb of Denver, Colorado, in the summer of 2017 I finally made that dream reality and settled in Bologna. Since then, I have immersed myself in the culture, making friends and business connections.  I have also studied and become fluent in Italian, achieving the C1 level certification in the summer of 2022. 

My passion for real estate has also been lifelong, and even before moving to Italy, I had the desire to explore the industry. It became a natural next step for me, so in the autumn of 2022, I enrolled in a preparatory course for the Italian Real Estate License, which is instructed only in Italian.  The exam consists of two parts – first a written, then an oral exam, which you  proceed to only if you pass the written exam. I’m proud to say that I passed both sections on my first try, something rarely achieved even among native Italians.

Passing the exam and gaining my license (N° BO/571282) has given me entry into the fascinating world of Italian real estate with its wine estates, castles, abandoned villas, and humble apartments. My goal is to provide a service that is lacking in this market: a native English speaking, licensed professional specializing in English speaking clientele. I approach every project with professionalism, energy, and enthusiasm and strive to provide a superior level of customer service that is second to none so that every client can feel comfortable and confident when buying their Italian dream home.
