Write down a list of everything that is mandatory, then things that you would like. Get pre approved so we know what payment you are comfortable with and it gives us time to shop for the best loan for you. Do not be in a hurry, remember that you may be living in the home for years and you want to be happy.

Let's do a walk around about three months before you sell. If I can help you direct $1,000 into repairs and it will get you $5,000 back we want to work on those repairs before we list the home. It's terrible when I show up at a home and they have spent $10,000 in repairs and we will not get it back. We discuss the market and your wants and needs, then write out a plan that is good for you.

I love the diversity of pricing in the Long Beach/ Lakewood area. We have something for everyone. Condos that are in the 200k range and homes in Naples over two million.

I love helping out of area sellers or trust/probate clients get the most money for their homes. A lot of time I will arrange the work as they are out of state. When they see the difference it can make for an elderly parent they are very happy. I want my sellers getting the most money that they can get.

I was an accounting major that was always interested in real estate. I switched to marketing as I could not sit for eight hours- loved the marketing aspect. I love people. Real estate is a combination of all of that but you have a lot of interaction with people.
