A little about myself .... I was born and raised in
Mid-West Michigan (Big Rapids area) and have lived in
that area and Northern Lower Michigan (Gaylord/Traverse
City) all of my life. I graduated from Big Rapids High
School and then attended Ferris State University in
Business and Hospitality Management programs. From there
I found myself in an unexpected but long and fulfilling
career in management for McDonald's Restaurants for 16
years. McDonald's consistently taught me new and
rewarding things not only about business but people and
how to truly satisfy customers and be successful
personally and professionally. I worked at every level
from entry level management to 10 years at the General
Manager and Area Supervisor levels.
When I made my decision to
pursue new challenges professionally I went looking into
another career I had always had a passion for and and
interest in and that was real estate. Within a very
short time I found my new home at CENTURY 21 with a
wonderful team of people where I again consistently
learn and try to improve myself and build new
relationships and friendships. I believe that the more I
can learn of every aspect of my job and the market area
the better I can satisfy my clients and customers. Going
out every day I know that it is my reputation and future
on the line let alone the happiness I receive knowing
that I have happy and satisfied clients/customers as
well as new friends! I also hold myself to a higher
standard of real estate education to further and better
assist my clients. I currently hold NAR's (National
Association of Realtors) Green Designation, Short Sale
Foreclosure Resource certification (SFR), Accredited
Buyers Representative (ABR), and Century 21 Quality
Service Award winner (12 years running) - rated
97%-100%+ by my clients & customers! I also average my
sellers more in average sales price than the local MLS
average = more $$$ for my clients!!! I am Technology
savvy and try to maintain the current trends and updates
to continually give my clients top notch service and
marketing your homes and properties on over 200+
websites, social media and more.
I have been a resident of the
Traverse City area for 19 years now and I have never
felt more at home. What a beautiful area to live and
offers a mass of entertainment and recreational
opportunities.
I hope this gives you a brief
insight to me. Please feel free to contact me anytime
whether you are considering buying or selling Traverse
City area real estate, I look forward to hearing from
and working with You!!! |
