About
Arlington Local Expert & 30-Year Military Spouse | Associate Broker, RLAH | 560+ Successful Transactions
For more than 13 years, I’ve helped families plant roots in the neighborhoods I’m proud to call home. As an Arlington resident and seasoned real estate professional, I specialize in the fast-moving Northern Virginia market—where speed, strategy, and hyper-local insight make all the difference.
For First-Time Buyers:
I’m an educator at heart. With over 560 transactions closed, I guide buyers through every step of the process from navigating competitive bidding wars in Arlington to uncovering hidden-gem neighborhoods in Fairfax and Alexandria that offer long-term value.
For Military Families:
I speak your language. After 30+ years as a military spouse, I understand the “PCS clock” and the pressure that comes with it. I help families relocating to and from the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, and Quantico find homes that balance BAH, commute, and lifestyle—without unnecessary stress.
As an Associate Broker with RLAH, and former Managing Broker of Buck & Associates, I bring together a background in Psychology and Interior Design with deep market knowledge and strong negotiation skills. This allows me to see both the potential in a property and the strategy needed to protect my clients’ interests.
Originally from Maine, I’ve made Northern Virginia home through multiple moves and deployments. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me exploring Arlington’s newest local spots or traveling with my husband, Ken, our grown children, and our rescue dog, Wanda.
Northern Virginia is more than a collection of zip codes, it’s a community. I’d love to help you find your place in it.

We love a good glow up ✨ From fresh paint and deep cleaning to staging, touch-ups, and coordinating all the moving pieces, every detail was designed to help this condo feel warm, inviting, and ready for the market. Because buyers don’t just buy square footage. They connect with how a home feels. We don’t just list homes. We help prepare them, market them thoughtfully, and guide our clients through every step from start to finish, all with the goal of helping our sellers stand out and maximize their sale price. The details matter. And buyers notice. #NorthernVARealEstate #towervillas #arlingtonva #BeforeAndAfter #FullServiceRealtor

While Memorial Day weekend in Washington, DC feels like a vacation of its own, there are SO many great easy getaways too. You do not need two weeks and a passport. You just need a plan and a few hours in the car. DC sits close enough to some of the best beach towns, mountain towns, lake escapes, and wine regions in the Mid-Atlantic that most of these are doable on a tank of gas. A mix of day trips and overnights, something for every kind of long weekend. A few of my favorites: Shenandoah National Park / 1.5–2 hrs by car / Stay: Skyland Resort Charlottesville / 2.5 hrs by car / Stay: Keswick Hall Rehoboth Beach / 2.5–3 hrs by car / Stay: The Bellmoor Inn & Spa Deep Creek Lake / 3 hrs by car / Stay: Lake Pointe Inn New River Gorge National Park / ~4 hrs by car / Stay: Adventures on the Gorge St. Michaels / ~2 hrs by car / Stay: Inn at Perry Cabin This is one of my favorite things about living in DC and the greater Northern Virginia area. You’re closer to more than most people realize… mountains, water, small towns, and incredible weekend escapes all within reach. Comment GUIDE and I’ll send you my full DC + Northern Virginia local guide. Heidi Robbins, a Northern Virginia real estate agent showing you how to live like a local. Serving Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Springfield, Vienna, Fairfax County, and the greater Northern Virginia area.
