EXPERIENCE:        Thirty years of experience in real estate as a licensed agent; sixteen years as a licensed broker    Developed and implemented relocation departments for real estate franchise owners back in the 1980ies; which required a very structured department with many different facets of  designations to be able to run a successful department.  In the mid 2005ish, bank owned inventory started to just emerged.  Then I was one of the first to jump on the band wagon to learn all I could about bank owned inventory and attended many conferences and achieved designations to be eligible to handle bank owned inventory.  The job required a staff to stay on top of  subcontractors, trashouts, marketing reports, the ability to pay subs before I received any reimbursements, and to meet  monthly marketing report deadlines, in some ways simililar to relocation.   As the market improved and sellers were able to gain equity and more of the bank owned homes disappeared I then concentrated on just local market inventory.  Most of my business is in and around the South Lyon area.  I typically list residential homes.  I have a staff of buyer brokers who work to sell homes to buyers who are proficient at what they do.  AFFILIATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS        Member NAR, National Association of Realtors        Member MAR, Michigan Association of Realtors        CCIM Candidate        NABPOP (National Association of Broker Price Opinions) Member & Certified        NVSI (National Valuations Standard Institute) Member & Certified        CDPE (Certified Distress Property Expert)        Member of REO Redbook & Attended 5-Star Conferences        RES.Net Certified        REO Trans Certified        Equator REO and Short Sales Certified        Default School Member          RECOGNITIONS:        Ranked in the top 5% in terms of closed sales consistently in the South Lyon area in Michigan.         Named a “Real Estate All Star” in 2012-2014  by Hour Magazine and dBusiness.   UNQUE SELLING ELEMENTS:        Enhanced Realtor.com , Zillow & Trulia which allows me to upload several pictures to 50 different web sites.  Graphic Designer/Marketer on Staff to Showcase listings and provide professional feature sheets.        Own a staging company and can stage up to four vacant homes to improve appeal.        When using my own trash-out subcontractors, I require a light sales cleaning (vacuum, light dusting) in a competitive price range.        Very thorough on MMR (monthly marketing reports); I study the market constantly and know pricing in my market area to move inventory properties quickly.  Constant monitoring of feedback to alert me to potential problems with marketing plan, or if sudden issues with the property arise.        Check my inventory homes weekly to make sure the homes are secured, even occupied homes if sellers are out of town.         Ensure every selling agent is responded to timely and in a professional manner.   ZIP CODES SERVICED:        48103, 48104, 48105, 48106, 48107, 48108, 48109, 48189, 48130, 48165, 48168, 48175, 48178, 48374, 48375, 48376, 48377, 48393, 48390, 48391, 48393, 38380, 48381, 48382, 48383, 48386, 48301, 48302, 48303, 48304,  48322, 48323, 48324, 48325, 48114, 48116, 48169, 48843, 48353, 48844, 48855, 48167, 48168, 48170, 48187, 48188, 48150, 48151, 48152, 48153, 48154   COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT:        Board of Director, Chamber of Commerce for the South Lyon Area, 2011-present        Create and auction my own artwork for charity functions, particularly LaCasa, Howell, MI (Women and children’s shelter)         Founding member, Brighton Art Guild , Supporter, Make-A-Wish Foundation        Supporter, Relay for Life.
