Emily is excited to be working at Hammond Residential in partnership with her mother, Joan Sullivan.

Her dynamic personality, love for helping people, and immense love of homes made for a natural transition to real estate. She is thrilled to be teaming up with her mom and learning from someone so skilled in the business while adding her knowledge and savvy to the team.
