What makes me a great agent?

• Affiliated with Century 21 Arizona Foothills since 2007.
• Smarter Bolder Faster 
• I love technology and use it to make transactions smooth. Ask about a paperless transaction.
• Short Sales - Buy one? Selling one? I have successfully done both, several times!
• Traditional sales, Bank owned - Easy peasy - I guide you through the process and educate you about each part of the transaction. We start with a big picture view of the whole transaction, then I thoroughly explain each part of the transaction as it happens.
• Partners - Escrow Agents, Inspectors, Lenders, Handymen, Movers, Contractors - I have a network of people that I trust to help the transaction move smoothly from beginning to end. 
• I am trained to listen! and I do listen.

Experience:

•  Full time real estate - 2012 - present
•  Part time agent - 2006 - 2012
• Worked full time as a High School Counselor, Principal and Teacher  - 31 years
• Frequently handled more real estate transactions working part time than most full time agents
• I continue to help people to make important decisions. I guide buyers or sellers  through the myriad of information, and I sooth them through the emotional chaos that inevitably rears an ugly smile. I am that weird person that understands teenagers, and likes them too.
