Hi there! Thanks for taking a look at my profile, let me tell you a little about myself! I started selling real estate in 2004 after 17 years in the customer service industry. My interest in real estate began through investing in rental homes that I owned and maintained for several years. It was this passion, and the success I had in building my own financial investment portfolio, that led me to a career in real estate. I now enjoys sharing this knowledge, along with my outstanding customer service skills, with others hoping to achieve their own real estate dreams. As a mother and widow of a fallen officer, I work tirelessly to continually show my family that you can always succeed no matter how hard you fall. I carry that same drive to succeed, positive outlook, and guidance into every transaction. With my many years of experience as a top producing Realtor, and now an Associate Broker, I offer top notch advice on all aspects of your real estate transaction whether buying or selling a home. My determination to provide the very best experience to all of my clients is most important; quality, not quantity! Keep in mind that I work independently, my sales are not a combined total of numerous team Agents, but rather just my own. If you want to hire an Agent that you will speak to directly throughout your buying or selling experience vs a designated team Agent of Admin, then I'm your Realtor! Call me for the expertise you desire and the personal attention, from the beginning of your transaction till the very end, that you deserve!

Sharon is extremely knowledgeable about the Frederick and Washington County areas. We never would have gotten the amazing home we got without her being on top of things and knowing when listings are coming up. She is extremely accessible and always there if you need to text or call her with concerns or thoughts. She is realistic and honest which is very helpful! We have fun and laugh when we work together which makes the difficult process of buying a home a lot easier!

Sharon is the best realtor we have ever worked with. Our move was complicated- moving long distance to MD in the late summer/early fall when the market was moving incredibly fast. We quickly learned that homes were listed and pending offers before we could travel to see them. As a result we had to rely on Sharon to check out the homes for us and in some instances do virtual walkthroughs (occasionally going back for second looks). She was incredibly thorough and we felt confident making the offer for our home sight-unseen. She was a great negotiator and able to work with the sellers to make our offer most appealing, as well as help us to get an inspection agreed to (in this market that is nearly impossible). Sharon has a client for life with us!

When it comes to finding a real estate agent, Sharon Lelm is a diamond in the rough! Her attention to detail is next to none as she listens to your every request and provides knowledgable feedback to assist you whether buying or selling a home. When selling my condo, Sharon was able to find pertinent information that was vital for the buyers to be approved for their loan, which was time sensitive. If Sharon hadn't done her diligence this situation could have become a big problem, ultimately delaying the sale of my home. This is one of many examples, illustrating Sharon Lelm separating herself from the rest of the competition. Thus, if you're looking for a honest, hard-working, intelligent real estate agent who has your best interest at heart then look no further than Sharon Lelm.

Results! She secured an offer for the price she said she could sell our house for in the time frame she said she could. A solid professional who worked through process smoothly. Answered every question and addressed every issue promptly. Patient and responsive. We have sold/purchased several homes over the years and we would use Sharon again.
