A Boston University graduate originally from New York, Eileen began her career in corporate sales, public relations, and human resources. During the 1980s, she became the first female state manager for a major distilled spirits company, developing the leadership, negotiation, and relationship-building skills that continue to serve her clients today.
Eileen later built a successful real estate career spanning residential sales, brokerage leadership, REO properties, and new home construction. During the housing downturn and foreclosure crisis, she served as Managing Broker of a brokerage specializing in REO and bank-owned properties. In this role, she guided buyers, sellers, investors, and financial institutions through complex transactions during a rapidly changing market.

Her years working directly with leading homebuilders give her clients valuable insight into the entire process, from selecting the right community and floorplan to understanding builder timelines, available options, and important contract considerations.
Her accomplishments include being named Salesperson of the Year for a major Atlanta homebuilder in 2017 and Companywide Rookie of the Year in 2024 for a leading active-adult homebuilder. These awards reflect her commitment to exceptional customer service, market expertise, and consistent results.
Outside of real estate, Eileen enjoys traveling, skiing, mahjong, and spending time with her children and family.
