Compare agents and you'll find they often sound very similar on paper. The difference is how they approach the craft, and the resulting outcomes for their clients. As Beth explains, "I'm always looking for ways to raise the bar on service and getting the best results for my clients. That means the learning process is never complete. I continually invest time, money, and thought into the latest sales, marketing, and negotiation techniques. I owe it to the clients who trust me to remain dedicated to continual improvement." Her commitment to serving the best interests of her clients has helped her build and maintain an exceptional reputation over the past 23 years. "I'm honored to be your trusted real estate advisor.

FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Our current market requires patience. Have a knowledgeable agent like me to strategize your offer and put in you in the best position.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
“If you want top dollar, we need your home to look, feel, and function like the best option in your price point. Today’s buyers will pay a premium when they emotionally connect with a home and feel it’s move-in ready. The most important steps are:
• Price strategically — not high; smart. We want to attract competition and create momentum.
• Pre-list prep — small updates (paint, lighting, hardware, landscaping) bring a huge return.
• Declutter & pre-pack — clean, simple spaces photograph bigger and make the home feel elevated.
• Professional photography + media — photos, video, reels, floor plans, and digital reach absolutely impact your final number.
• Timing & market strategy — listing at the right moment creates urgency and buyer traffic.
• Show-ready condition — the homes that sell fastest for the most money all have one thing in common: they show beautifully and feel well cared for.”
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
“I work with a wide range of buyers — first-time buyers, move-up buyers, downsizers, and relocation clients — but the common thread is that they all value guidance. My specialty is helping buyers understand the market, evaluate value, and feel confident in their decisions.”
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
“One transaction that stands out was assisting first-time sellers who were unsure how to prepare their home for the market. I provided a detailed improvement plan, coordinated trusted contractors, and implemented a pre-listing marketing launch to build anticipation. The home attracted exceptional traffic during the first weekend and ultimately sold for well above the sellers’ expectations. It was rewarding to guide them through every step, ease their stress, and help them achieve top-tier financial results.”
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
“I began my real estate career over 23 years ago after earning a degree in Marketing & Sales. I love architecture. My background in marketing gave me an immediate advantage in understanding how to position homes, communicate value, and build trust with clients. What started as a passion for helping people make smart financial and lifestyle decisions grew into a long-term career built on service, strategy, and results.”
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
• Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing & Sales
• 23 Years of Real Estate Experience across multiple market cycles, including buyer’s markets, seller’s markets, new construction, luxury, relocation, and distressed-property conditions
• Extensive Continuing Education, including contract law updates, negotiation strategy, fair housing, market analytics, and marketing innovation

Beth did a wonderful job with the sale of our home. She was very professional, honest, reliable, and always available when we needed her. She was up-to-date on the market and real estate trends, and she made us feel 100% comfortable that we were in good hands and that she would have no difficulty selling our home. Beth has a reputation of getting the real estate job done, and I would not hesitate to recommend her 100%.

Beth was extremely helpful through the entire home buying process. As first time home buyers, buying a home in this hot housing market initially felt daunting, but she made it easy! Beth was always quick to respond and get showings scheduled, and knew just how to negotiate to help us find a great home at a very reasonable price. She was also very knowledgeable of the areas we looked at - we highly recommend her!

Extremely tentative to details. Works hard and very responsive to timely matters. She is personable and provides all services necessary. Very helpful in obtaining subcontractors for work that needed to be done prior to closing. I would not hesitate to recommend her to a family member or friend.
