FAQS
1) What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Step 1 is contact me! Then we will get to know each other and work with a trusted lender to figure out your true budget. Some online calculators are not accurate based on your actual profile so you might get steered in the wrong direction. Once we have a good idea of your ideal budget, we can search for properties in your county of choice and look at new construction options and resales. There are pros and cons to both options! I've helped close over 30 new construction properties and over 80 resale homes. It's a multi-step process with the most important thing to remember being we are a team and I'm here as your guide!
2) What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Selling is a very "hyper-local" formula for comparable homes. The market shifts weekly and we have busy and slow seasons in different areas and even different neighborhoods have busier and slower seasons for selling. The most important thing is to really make your property shine inside and out for those buyers who are really taking their time to make a decision. The house needs curb appeal, maintenance repairs and of course interior design features that are popular with a wide range of buyers. Staging is also extremely important either with your own furnishings or a staging companies furnishings. The property needs to tell a story and the story if for the buyers to want to make their own memories in the home. Declutter, cleaning, de-personalizing and packing up before you have the property photos taken are a must. It is also extremely important to have a professional photography instead of someones phone photos to build your online presence since most buyers are looking online first. Of course, at the end of the day, even with the perfect house the price has to be right for a ready, willing and able buyer. The days of overpricing and home and getting multiple offers have passed and we now have to adjust downward based on comparable homes in many cases.
3) What types of clients have you worked with?
I have had the pleasure of working with first time home buyers, new families, and families relocating from out of state (NJ, NY, Minnesota, Michigan, South Carolina, Texas, California, Georgia, Ohio, and even Canada!). Worried about video tours? No problem, I'm happy to facetime or take video for your tours and even give details on how the house feels/smells. It's so important to really get a good feel of a house with lighting, location, etc.
5) How did you get started in Real Estate?
As a young girl, maybe age 12, I enjoyed looking at houseplans in magazines like Southern Living. I loved when my mother would receive her monthly subscription in the mail and would wait until she was finished to have my turn "walking" through the house floorplan in my mind. Every now and then I would convince my mother buy me one of the more pricey magazines that had all house plans inside! That would keep me entertained and relaxed for a long time! Later in life after working in corporate America, I was able to stay home with my daughter when she was young. After a short time, I got my real estate license and haven't looked back!
6) Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
As a native to the North Florida area, I have a depth of knowledge that not many others may have. My parents both worked for the State of Florida for over 30 years each so having that knowledge of Florida counties and history is pretty special! I have family all over the state of Florida from the panhandle of Pensacola all the way down to Tampa and over to Palm Coast up to Jacksonville. St. Augustine was where I was born and holds a special place in my heart. I now live in Nocatee in Ponte Vedra, Florida which is just north of St. Augustne and just south of Jacksonville. It's the perfect location for my family and close to the beautiful beaches of Ponte Vedra Beach which is my ultimate happy place. Real estate didn't come easy to me when I worked alone, but when I joined a team, all the things clicked and I have worked hard to be a top agent in the area. My passion is working with kind people who are appreciate of my time and service to them. I'm a top 500 agent out of over 12,000 others in the Northeast Florida area. I pride myself on knowing the many steps of the transaction and am a voice of reason in a sometimes emotional moment of negotiation.
