Basically, I love real estate. On the buy side, I enjoy the thrill of the house hunt, the satisfaction in finding the right home for my client, helping guide people to homeownership, being the winning offer and seeing my client get the home they want. On the listing side, my competitiveness also shows up and I enjoy being the one chosen to help the seller fulfill their goals of selling for the highest dollar in the shortest time and negotiating to protect my seller’s interests. I especially like it when my previous buyers call me to help them sell their home and find a new one.
