Business Philosophy

I work for my clients in their best interest. I work with my colleagues with respect and consideration. I practice The Broker Golden Rule, treating my fellow professional as I would want to be treated. I maintain an excellent reputation with my colleagues which truly benefits my clients with both selling and buying their homes. Buying or selling a home requires the agent to educate their client every step of the way and prepare them for all events to come. I am there to manage the details to assure a smooth transaction and to be available to answer questions whenever needed.

MY PURPOSE

My purpose is to educate my clients to the real estate market, work to best represent their interests, explain all of the important steps and necessary paperwork to attain their real estate goals, skillfully negotiate to an acceptable agreement and take care of all of the details along the way. My career and on-going training and development started in 1982. I was an award-winning sales associate until 1993 when I started my management career. After 14 years of managing, I returned to sales in 2007. I enjoy teaching and have been certified with the State to teach all Real Estate Licensing Courses and Continuing Education classes real estate agents. I have been extensively trained as a business coach and have the CRESC designation.

I use the same skills to help my buyers and sellers reach their goals, too.Business Experience
