FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For Real Estate Buyers, the Real Estate Agent commission is typically paid by the Real Estate Sellers. It is not common for Buyers to have to pay commission. For Real Estate Sellers, commission is typically paid by them to the Real Estate Agents.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will set up a meeting, either in person or by phone, to discuss the basics of what a customer would like in a home, such as number of bedrooms, bathrooms, house square footage, lot size, price range, etc. The next step is to get them set up with a lender for pre-approval for a home loan. I have a variety of lenders who I work with that are skilled in credit remediation, VA loans, FHA loans, Rural Development loans, and Conventional loans as well as other types of specialty loan programs. We then start looking for homes both in person and online and try to match them with the perfect home for them. I walk with them through every step of the process all the way to closing and provide information at every step.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started out with the Disney Development Company/Walt Disney Imagineering in Real Estate Sales. I was one of the founding employees who worked in and built the town of Celebration, Florida. While working for Disney, I was trained in all facets of home sales, from marketing, sales, staging, and builder relations to contracts. In Minnesota, I have been completing ongoing training in many areas of Real Estate including digital marketing, media, design, and relocation in addition to many other areas of training.
