One of my youngest memories is sitting on the couch eating rice cakes and watching This Old House with my mom. I love(d) how Tom Silva and the crew talked with the owners about their family and house, while uncovering how the house was built, maybe something unique, or something that needed improvement so it would better serve the family for years and years. I also remember my parents building their house starting with the main level then finishing additional bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. as our family grew. I watched and helped them where I could over the years.

With the purchase of our own house—a bit of a fixer-upper—my husband and I are delving into home renovations including painting throughout and refinishing the damaged hardwood floors so their natural beauty shines through again—took some tips from TOH. We learned some new techniques, had some ‘hangry’ moments, but mostly we had so much fun working together. We look forward to the next project.

Finally deciding to become a Realtor has been so great, because I get to see all kinds of houses and get to know new people and families. Wherever life takes us, we tell stories and make memories; I think houses are similar. They have a legacy of keeping its residents warm and safe, and providing space for those stories and memories.

Other interests of mine are cooking, baking, sewing, and dancing. I dance in my kitchen while cooking; I also teach dance, primarily ballet, in Wausau. I have a BFA from the UW-Milwaukee.

No matter what you are looking for, I am so happy to help you make new memories here or take them with you wherever you go. 715-803-3893 and tori@amaximmo.com, anytime!
