I was born and raised right here in the Northwoods where my family has called their lakefront property on the Eagle River Chain, home for over 70 years. My father was a successful restaurant and bar owner who instilled to me his love for the area and his passion for providing visitors with that “Northwoods experience.” After graduating from the University of Wisconsin—La Crosse with a double research major in Business Communication and Sociology I moved to Madison and then Colorado. I soon realized my passions mirrored my father’s. The Northwoods is where I wanted to be, so I came home. I enjoy spending my free time on the water, fishing, camping, exploring in the woods, cooking and being an Auntie! I’d love to help you find a little piece of the Northwoods to experience and call home.

The Northwoods is such an awesome place to live and work. While growing up my family adventured to Texas and Florida but we always came back to Wisconsin! I attended UW-Stevens Point and got to experience being a part of the Universities Volleyball team as well as studied Physical Education. I soon became a young mom and I knew exactly where I wanted to raise my daughter, and I headed back to the place I call home; The Northwoods. From being a stay at home mom to a single mom, working full time I have gotten the chance to dabble in a few different career options trying to decide where I was meant to be. In the past 11 years of getting to be a mom to an amazing daughter I have gained the titles of; Dance mom, Soccer mom, and Gymnastics mom! I was ready to find my own title and that is when I entered into the Real Estate field as an Administrator. After a few years I decided that my passion had grown for this industry and decided my title I was searching for was to be a Real Estate Agent in the Northwoods! My road has led me right where I am meant to be and I couldn't be happier. Sharing with my daughter all the amazing things the Northwoods has to offer has always been a favorite thing of mine to do with her and to think of being able to do that with others brings me so much excitement! In my free time I love being on our lakes, hiking the trails, and exploring our many bike paths. My roots have always been planted here and I look forward to helping you find a place where you can plant apart of yours too!

I began my real estate career in 1982 at just 19 years old, and more than four decades later, I still find joy in helping people discover the right place to call home. With over 44 years of experience in selling, managing, and closing real estate transactions, I’ve built my life around guiding clients through one of their most important decisions.
As a Wisconsin native who grew up in Door County, I’ve always been drawn to the natural beauty and lifestyle of the Northwoods. In 2020, I joined the Julie Winter Paez Group as a Buyer’s Agent, specializing in upscale lakefront properties. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of representing clients from executives and entrepreneurs to professional athletes, artists, and retirees, all seeking their perfect retreat. No matter who I work with, my clients trust me for my discretion, confidentiality, and ability to navigate even the most complex transactions with ease.
Investing in a Northwoods lake home is about more than property — it’s about lifestyle, relaxation, family, and creating a retreat. That’s why I’m passionate about buyer representation. Real estate is often one of the largest investments a person will make, and I believe every client deserves a trusted advocate at their side. My role is to deliver a white-glove experience that ensures buyers feel confident, informed, and supported, while structuring deals that truly serve their best interests.
For me, real estate has always been about more than transactions — it’s about building relationships, earning trust, and helping people achieve their dream of Northwoods lake living. I’m honored that many of my clients have shared their positive experiences through referrals and reviews, which I consider the highest compliment.
