Vie is known for her ability to guide people through important decisions with a personal and thoughtful approach.
Vie’s career is rooted in a simple yet powerful philosophy: knowledge is power.

The team’s personalized staging services, a standout feature especially during the pandemic, have proven instrumental in helping properties stand out in a competitive market.
Outside of real estate, Vie’s vibrant personality shines through her love for cooking. She often shares her favorite recipes with clients and plans to launch a YouTube cooking channel in 2025. This passion underscores her belief that real estate is more than transactions—it is about building relationships. “A home is where life unfolds,” she says. “I want my clients to feel that connection from the beginning.”
