About Crystal

A trusted guide for one of life's biggest transitions

Real estate decisions later in life are rarely just about the house. They're about what comes next, and how to make the change feel manageable.

Whether you're planning your own move, helping a parent think through their options, or settling a loved one's estate, my role is to bring clarity to a process that can feel overwhelming. I've made a big move of my own, so I understand both the practical side and the emotional side of these decisions.

I've called the City of Richmond and Stratford Hills home, and I work with families across the greater Richmond area. You don't have to figure this out alone. I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Outside of work

A little more about me

I'm originally from Hawaii. When I'm not working, you might find me golfing (and trying not to lose all of my golf balls in the James River), out in the garden (I'm a master gardener), relearning the ukulele, or blending my own perfumes.

Most days you'll find me chasing around my six grandkids, with Winston, my Goldendoodle, keeping me company.

Let's talk

Wondering what your next step should be?

A short, no-pressure conversation is often the easiest place to start. Tell me what's going on, and we'll figure out a plan together.
