I have been in sales for over eighteen years. I find it very rewarding working with home buyers and sellers as it is such an important and life changing experience for many. Whether they are a fist time buyer or a seasoned pro, I possess the skills to enhance the process and to ultimately achieve their individual goal. Additionally, as a previous relocation director and current relocation specialist I am intimately knowledgeable of my entire market area. I have assisted incoming buyers from most major industries from health care to the booming auto industry.As an associate broker at Keller Williams, I work as an intermediary between buyers and sellers while buying or selling a home. I perform tasks for the party I represent. For instance, if brokering a purchase, there is a checklist that as an associate broker I must undertake. In addition to researching and showing properties and scheduling appointments, I must make sure a potential buyer is qualified to receive a mortgage. I have multiple relationships with bankers and mortgage companies capable of addressing most buyer’s individual needs. Eventually, if everything goes as planned, I will have the opportunity to submit, negotiate and ideally close a deal. When representing a seller, I must follow a similar routine. I will become responsible for marketing the property, such as placing signs in front of the home to advertise its availability, arranging photographic services, writing advertisements for that property and informing other brokers that the property is for sale. I have an extensive list of professional and licensed contractors to assist a seller in any necessary repairs, enhancements or asset sales. Open houses are conducted to display a listed property to other associate brokers, agents and interested buyers, and eventually a sale must be negotiated.

My husband and I were franchise owners of Century 21 Home Team with three locations in the Birmingham market area. I was the Relocation Director for the company and had worked closely with all the major relocation services including Cartus and USAA. The business was sold in 2008.
