Service & Professionalism
These two words have been devalued in the business world. Service means rendering my time, effort, and knowledge on behalf of you- the client. I am a real estate professional. You are a mother, a state employee, a cabinet installer, a retired pediatrician. It is not your job to know the real estate world- forms, appraisals, online photo galleries, closing deadlines, etc. Treating you with the respect you deserve as an intelligent human being that is interested in buying or selling real estate is what I do. Professionalism means that I guide you through the exciting and sometimes intimidating process of the real estate transaction. Too often people of any profession become jaded in their jobs and expect the client to know what to do and ask and expect. I will always make sure that your best interest is guarded, point out the details you need to know, ask the questions you didn't know to ask. This is what I mean by service and professionalism- they are what I expect of myself and what I pledge to you. Energy and Enthusiasm
Buying or selling real estate is probably the largest financial transaction you will experience in your life. Before I became a real estate professional, it put me off when agents responded to my house hunting and selling questions as another day at the office. This IS NOT how I do business. There is a substantial amount of time and legwork involved in being familiar with all the available land and housing on the market. Purchasing real estate is exciting. By utilizing me as your database the confusion is eliminated and all that remains are the decisions to be made. Through working with clients I get to revisit that excitement on a daily basis, and that is what I love about the job. Energy and enthusiasm are most needed in the selling of real estate; let's face it- it is often a stressful time. Dynamically marketing your individual piece of real estate takes creativity and drive. That's why you need a professional who will bring that energy to the table- every time. On The Personal Side
I graduated from Lehigh University in Bethlehem PA with high honors and entered into the U.S. Army where I served as a communications officer. I ended my military career with a deployment to Iraq in 2003 in support of the 101st Airborne Division. After leaving the Army I managed my husband's veterinary clinic in Lakewood WA until we sold it to move to the Methow Valley.
I now live in Mazama with my husband, Michael, and 2 year old daughter, Sophia, where we enjoy all manner of outdoor activities. Cross country skiing is our main love, but snow shoeing, biking, hiking, camping, sailing, and trail running give us year round enjoyment. My husband is a semi retired Ohio State veterinarian who performs spays and neuters for OKSNIP (Okanogan Spay and Neuter Project) two days a week. In addition to being a partner and owner of John L. Scott Methow Valley- I am a full time mom, wife, and community volunteer. Being part of the solution is important to me. We can change the world one kind and conscientious action at a time. |
