Who Am I? That's a great question and I'm still working on the answer. In the meantime, what's more important to me is: "How may I help YOU?"
The single most important thing to consider when hiring a REALTOR is: Will it be a good fit, for you and for your REALTOR? Credentials are great, experience is indispensable, but in my mind the definition of an expert is someone who doesn't want to learn anything else. (I DO have days like that, you know, where I'd prefer NOT to have a lesson to learn, but then, who doesn't?) What is most important to me, however, is honesty and integrity. If I know the answer to your questions, I'll answer them directly. If I don't, I'll admit that and find you the answer. We will be a team -- whether you're house hunting, or selling -- so it's very important that we be straight with each other. I truly believe the house selling/buying process should be FUN, not stressful or upsetting. I know that it can be, and that we are all different, and what concerns one may not concern another, but my goal is that the stress be minimized and the excitement be maximized. Every market is different. I am here to educate you. Education gives you the power to make informed decisions. Ask me questions. Tell me what you need. The more I understand, the happier we'll all be. At the end, when the company sends you the test (they call it the Quality Service Survey), I want it to be a no-brainer. My aim is to achieve a 10 for each question.
