When I think about the things that are important to me, home comes top of mind. For me, my home offers safety, security, sanctuary, pride of ownership and a wealth building tool for the future. I have 18 years experience as a REALTOR® in the Grand Valley and I am constantly striving to serve my clients with value and dedication. In addition to servicing both buyers and sellers through many life changes over the years, I am also a Certified Distressed Property Expert. I helped dozens of homeowners avoid foreclosure after the market crashed in 2008 through successful short sales. Although today’s market is completely different than the crash of 2008, we are beginning to see distressed properties become real to our market again after COVID-19 affected many with job loss, illnesses, and more. And for many, there has been a negative impact after taking the forbearance option offered during the COVID pandemic. I want people to know there is hope and that foreclosure is not always imminent. Our current market conditions can support another option in most cases and I can help you understand what options you have. Feel free to reach out to me if you or someone you know finds themselves in this position and you don’t know what to do.When working with me you will find I am genuine and dedicated to your success. Whether you are selling the home that has comforted you for years or are searching for your dream home or an investment property, my goal with you is not transactional, but rather to earn your trust and build a relationship that lasts long after closing. And all along the way I keep it simple and I keep it real!
