My husband and I have amazingly been married for 30 years and have been blessed with 4 daughters who are 18, 18, 23 & 26 and 1 son, 28. Our son and his wife have 3 sons, 5, 7 and 9 years old and a daughter 3-1/2; our oldest daughter and her husband have a 3-1/2 year old son and a 1-1/2 year old daughter and our 2nd daughter and her husband have a 3-1/2 year old daughter and are expecting twins next April. My family has been the focus of my life's work and that is how I treat my clients, like extended members of my own family. I take great pride in helping people to achieve their Dream of Home Ownership. Whether you are a family of 1 or 100, where you live is of utmost importance to you and no one can decide where that should be except you, so I do not consider it my job to SELL you a house. I can help you to purchase the house you choose, because no matter how much research can be done on the Internet, you never know for sure until you actually visit the property for yourself.

Not to mention, I know how hard it is to stretch a dollar to provide for a large family, so when I serve as a Buyer's Agent, I work very hard to ensure that my clients pay as little money for their new home and obtain the financing that will allow them to get it at the lowest cost possible. When I wear my Listing Agent's Hat, I work just as hard to get the most money  and best terms for the Sellers.

Regardless of who I represent, I encourage my Sellers to embrace the thinking of Buyers and my Buyers to understand the psychology of Sellers and all to approach negotiations from a Win-Win perspective. The Golden Rule when applied to a Real Estate Transaction can mean the difference between a smooth flow of time and details from Contract to Closing and a nit picking battle of who can aggravate who more. The 1st option leaves a very good taste in everyone's mouth and the time leading up to and following settlement can be devoted to areas of utmost importance. The 2nd option causes anger, frustration, anxiety and when everything comes to an end, the bitterness will linger for far too long.
