"I'm the eleventh generation in my family to live in the Deep Creek Lake area and could never imagine having a home anywhere else. The only thing better than living here is sharing its beauty with my clients." |
Betsy's family has been part of Garrett County's story for over 150 years, starting in the timber and log home industry and growing into the marina, ski, and golf resort businesses. Several of the log homes she and her relatives live in today were built by her own family. She stays involved in the community as a member of the Garrett County Hospital Foundation Board and her local Association of REALTORS® Board.
She holds a bachelor's degree in business administration and learned the trade early, from her mother, a broker/owner of a local real estate firm, and her father, who worked in construction. That background gives her a practical, well-rounded read on both the deal and the property itself.
Outside of work, Betsy is usually somewhere nearby: skiing with her husband Bob and sons Griffin and Jensen in winter, boating on Deep Creek Lake in summer, or hiking Swallow Falls State Park with her dogs. She also volunteers with the Hospital's Life Savers club and HART for Animals.
Betsy has a knack for matching buyers with the right property, whether it's a primary residence or a second home, and helping sellers position their listings to get the strongest offers. She handles the details that come with a move, from recommending a caretaker to coordinating furniture delivery, and brings sharp negotiation skills to every deal.
