Coppell Real Estate Agent

Thinking about moving to Coppell or curious what’s currently for sale in the area? I’d love to be your Coppell Realtor®. I live and work in nearby Flower Mound and Lewisville, respectively, so I know this part of the metroplex first-hand. With a background in nursing, I bring the same attention to detail to every transaction that I once brought to patient care. To set up a conversation, you can book a phone consultation, reach out through my contact form, or call, text, or email.

We were moving from the east coast to Texas and working with Randi was so easy. Randi was able to help us find the perfect house that checked all of our boxes. From the start to the end she was an excellent advocate for us.
