FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every Real Estate journey is different, but clear communication is at the center of all of them. I start with a conversation to determine what the client is looking for as their end result, and then build a customized, strategic plan of action from there. So, having that conversation is an important first step toward working proactively to achieve the ultimate goal. Then, I like to familiarize my client with forms and processes that they will likely experience during the course of the transaction. Having a clear understanding of what is coming can be a relief to clients, especially if this is a first purchase or sale.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started in Real Estate in 1997 when I was a 24 year old single mother. I absorbed everything about Real Estate and loved every aspect of it. As a learning based person, I went to classes and training seminars that would advance my knowledge and sharpen my skills in contract writing, negotiation, and Real Estate law. When I wanted to explore a new avenue of Real Estate I would use myself as the trial case. In 1999, I bought my first house using the HUD program. Through that experience, I learned how the HUD program worked and I was able to add a valuable tool for first time homebuyers, and eventually investors. This is one example of how I went through the experience not only to learn HOW to do it, but also, so I knew the best way to support a client through it.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with all kinds of clients from Sellers in any part of the Valley, to first time home buyers or investors to seasoned Investors, developers, capital partners and more. I have worked with out-of-state and out-of-Country (FIRPTA) clients. I am equipped to do virtual walk throughs or evaluations for investors looking to add to their portfolio, or as simple as a Buyer being relocated for work and needing to have a place to live when they get here. I provide the same attention and skill to every client, regardless of the purchase price.
