You gotta love this business!
The tougher the housing climate gets, the nicer my clients become. I know that price is usually the most important factor in finding a house; however my job is to keep my clients safe as well as find and negotiate the best price for them.
I started my real estate career 9 years ago. The first lesson I learned, after 21 years in corporate customer service and management, is I didn't know squat about one on one client service. Needless to say I had to learn real fast that real estate is a 24/7 commitment to client service.
Real estate is a learning experience not only for the buyer or seller but also for the Realtor. I have learned something new on virtually every transaction I have been a party to. I am constantly going to classes and seminars to perfect my craft and give my clients the most up to date information of my market and the industry. I have obtained the following designations; Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Graduate Residential Institute (GRI), and Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES).
Rather than fear technology I embrace it, giving my clients a step up on the competition whether they are buying or selling. I am currently working with buyers from Australia, Iraq, and South Korea along with several in the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Technology makes it all possible and makes me more efficient.
Whether your looking for a Realtor for your own needs or as an agent referring a client that needs professional, full service, representation, I'm the Realtor for you.
