I "GET IT".....
I purchased my first home as a young newlywed when we had little to no money to put down. SO I UNDERSTAND HOW TO BUY WITH A MINIMAL DOWNPAYMENT….
After going through a divorce and renting for a LONG time, I finally purchased my first home as A SINGLE WOMAN. SO I UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONS & CHALLENGES OF BUYING A HOME AS A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL.
Happily remarried and parents to 3 beautiful adopted children, we sold our home during the challenging short sell real estate market.. SO I UNDERSTAND THE SAME CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT SELLING YOUR HOME IN A DIFFICULT MARKET OR AVOIDING FORECLOSURE. I've helped MANY families avoid foreclosure and even get DEBT FORGIVENESS while short-selling their property!
In addition, I have over 16 years’ experience in the Central Florida real estate market. I began my career working for international homebuilders as one of their top New Home Consultants (I was in their Top 10 Nationwide out of over 400 sales agents). SO I KNOW HOW HOMES ARE BUILT, WHAT’S BEHIND THE DRYWALL, AND HOW TO REALLY DISTINGUISH A QUALITY-BUILT HOME. I ALSO KNOW HOW TO "DEAL" WITH NEW HOME BUILDERS.
It has been my pleasure to assist thousands of homebuyers in their search for their next dream home. What I’ve learned is…..each buyer & seller are different and listening is critical!! I WILL LISTEN to your needs, your wants, your concerns, and your hopes. Combined with my expertise in using the latest technology in HIGH DEFINITION VIRTUAL TOURS and other state-of-the-art marketing methods, I will help you achieve your goals! Whether your goal is to buy or sell, I'M HERE FOR YOU!
