I love working with first time homebuyers! They are so excited, and so eager to do everything right. I take great pleasure in teaching them about the home buying process. I always try to do some credit counseling while I am at it. Real estate has always been a career goal for me. I love what I do, even with the ups and downs. My mission is to change the way Realtors are viewed by the public!
I have been with New Century Real Estate from the start of my Real Estate career, after careful review of their competitors. I felt New Century had the same principles and values that I did, which allowed us to have a melded business relationship. This way I can spend my time servicing my clients the way they deserve to be serviced.I do not believe in the word no!I have been a businesswoman for over twenty years. My greatest accomplishment was building and running a $5 million dollar craft manufacturing company for fourteen years. I was awarded businesswoman of the year in 1999. I then obtained my Real Estate License; I have always wanted to be involved deeper in real estate, as it has always been a passion. Negotiating is one of the biggest thrills of real estate for me. There is always a way to make everyone happy!Everything is negotiable!I have purchased and sold various types of properties over the years, leased in strip malls, private properties, written option agreements, leased with options to buy, and negotiated many, many contracts of various types. Everything has a price and can be negotiated!Having such a strong business background, it lends itself to real estate. Business is all about marketing, and real estate is one hundred percent marketing. First myself, our agency, and then certainly your home.Experience is Always an Asset!Maintaining my real estate education, attending various seminars, classes, and continuing education mandated through my affiliations within the state of Illinois. I have handled many types of clients through the years. I believe no client is too small or too large! When I had my manufacturing business I sold to all the mass merchants, selling, promoting, and displaying. I’ve even done quite a bit of television sales. I have been featured on many craft television shows, and been on QVC (our product sold out in 13 minutes!). I have also made videos. All the while retaining solid relationships with the small mom and pop retailers.There is always a way!I have had years of marketing experience. I am very aware on what works and is most cost effective. I make sure that I am conscientious of both of our budgets, so that you can get the most from your home. I have been able to flow right in to real estate. Spending so much time in the craft industry has given me the gift to be creative. That creativity spills over into the presentation of your home, marketing your home, the presentation to prospective buyers, and definitely in helping you to find a new home!
