FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
I have so many things to say here. First, figure out your budget by getting with a lender right away. I have excellent lenders if you need one. Then decide what you're looking for but remember to be a little flexible. This is your first home-not your forever home. You may need to make some concession on amenities or area to get what you want. And please don't forget to ask a lot of questions! There are no stupid questions so make a list and ask them.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
No seller likes the answer to this question but listen to your agent and not your friends and family. They mean well but they are not current on todays market, trends, pricing or staging. Then, keep your emotions out of the transaction-which is really hard sometimes.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
All types of people and all types of personalities. It's one of the joys of my business.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I'm blessed to have really fun clients who become friends. I sold a client a new build almost 6 months ago and have been with them every step of the way. They just listed their current home for sale and we are negotiating an offer already.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
By complete accident. I was a Veterinary Technician for 10 years and was going to school to become a Vet when I developed asthma. I had to find a new career and stumbled into real estate. It has been so much fun.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Real estate agents are required to take 24-30 hours of continuing education classes every 2 years. Contract Law, Agency, Disclosure, Fair Housing, Commissioners Standards, Code of Ethics, Disclosures... I taught these courses for 18 years.
