As a North Scottsdale homeowner since 1997, Josie combines nearly three decades of local knowledge with extensive experience marketing and selling Arizona's most distinctive properties. Widely recognized as a Horse Property Specialist, she understands what makes equestrian real estate unique—from barns, arenas, private wells, turnouts, and trail access to zoning, land use, and the features that directly impact value and marketability.

Before entering real estate, Josie earned Master's Degrees in Nursing and Business Administration from the University of Illinois and proudly served as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. Her military service and healthcare background developed the discipline, attention to detail, leadership, and problem-solving skills that continue to benefit her clients today.
