You have a lot of choices when it comes to hiring an agent to sell your home.  When you interview agents, each will tell you how he or she can help you prepare, market, and sell your home. 

Here is a preview of how I can help you, offering excellent service in today's competitive market.

Dedication - I am a full time Realtor who gives more than a full time effort.

Education - In addition to Master's degrees in both Business and Computer Science, I've acquired additional real estate credentials in the past several years including:

• GRI - Graduate of the Real Estate Institute (only about 15% of REALTORS have completed this additional and significant training)
• e-PRO - Internet Certification for REALTORS®
• ABR - Accredited Buyer's Representative
• CRS - Certified Residential Specialist (less than 4% of all REALTORS in the U.S. hold this credential)
• MRE Society- Master of Real Estate (less than 1% of Arizona REALTORS belong to this society)

The extra training that I've acquired gives me a significant advantage in marketing, negotiating, and selling properties for you.

Skill & Experience - My business has continued to grow over the past several years, even in this "down" market.  I get a steady supply of referrals from past clients who have been very satisfied with my professional attention. Also, I'm an active real estate investor and am regularly reminded, firsthand, of the challenges of buying and selling homes from the home owner's perspective. 

Technology - Which I use to the fullest in marketing and selling property, giving my client's properties a level of exposure and information that is available.

Service and Communication - Giving you the information you need in a timely manner. Because of my background and experience, I'm able to communicate in the way my clients need, regardless of their location(s).

My greatest areas of expertise include:

• Consulting with owners to prepare, market, and sell their property, including single family homes, town houses, patio homes, and condos.  Using the Internet to get your house marketed to the maximum number of potential buyers. Explaining the various aspects of contract offers, so that you can make decisions that work for you.
• Working with buyers to get financing, refine their requirements, and finding homes that meet their needs. Negotiating with sellers to come to agreement and then working through all the details of escrow, so you can close on your new home or investment.
• Clients that I've worked with in the past include: first-time home buyers, move up sellers & buyers, investors, second home buyers, retirees, out-of-state sellers, and many buyers have relocated to Phoenix and Scottsdale.
• In addition to my commitment to helping my clients in real estate, I keep my family a priority and also volunteer in my community, especially in the areas of special education and technology.  I have a son with special needs, and am especially suited to working with families who may have family members with special needs that need some extra attention relative to the purchase or sale of their home.

Service was excellent!  I really couldn't have asked for a better first time buying experience.  I was very impressed after the first day of showings how you were able to narrow down the places that suited my needs.  I am extremely happy in my final decision and attribute that to your ability to pinpoint properties that met my criteria.

I would most definitely recommend you to any of my colleagues that were looking for a home.  In hearing other people's disappointments with their realtors, I was pleased to have such a great experience.  You made purchasing a home easy and really put a significant amount of effort into catering to my needs allowing me to feel as though I was your priority no matter when I called.  I really appreciated the personal attention and feel that anyone you worked with would feel the same.

Dru was extremely professional and extremely knowledgeable about the industry.  She really did her homework each time we met so that we maximized our time together.  She helped us to find a home we never dreamed we could have in a neighborhood we didn't expect we could afford.  Although I thought we were pretty organized and did a lot of research on our own, it was Dru's expertise that helped us to complete the entire home-buying process.  Since this was our first home purchase, there was a lot we didn't know or even think to ask.  Dru's advice was invaluable and we will most certainly use her again for our next home!

I am happy to write this letter recommending your real estate services. It was a difficult decision to sell my Scottsdale condominium.  After the decision to sell had been made, I was fortunate to engage your services as my realtor.  Your responsiveness to my questions and attention to details helped me greatly to better understand the process.  In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone interested in buying or selling a home.

On a scale of 1-10, ten being the highest score, I would have to give you a 10, Dru.  You were very helpful and I appreciate everything you did for me.

I don't think we could have done it without your help. Cheryl and I couldn't be happier with your assistance in our search for a new home in Arizona. Please feel free to share our name and number with future clients as we'll pass along the positive experience we had in working with you.

Yes (I would recommend you as a Realtor), because of your professionalism. You gave my wife and I the best service we have had in a very long time.

New Arizona Resident

I thought your service was excellent and you made the experience of settling remotely very easy.  From the beginning, when we did the marathon preview of condos/townhomes you listened and provided a well rounded inventory preview in the Scottsdale area that we were interested in.  When I returned to Va. you were very available by phone and provided much need information by e-mail.  Yes, I would recommend you to anyone, I though you were personable and honest, important qualities in my mind.

Looking back on the sale of my father's home, I see many ways in which it could have been very difficult.  I was far away for most of the process. I was completely ignorant of the whole process. In addition, selling the house was an emotional experience for me.  Dru was unfailingly informative, tactful, warm, understanding, patient, helpful, and lovely throughout.  I could not have asked for a better experience, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
