I am down to earth.  I do not dress the part of a real estate agent therefore most people can relate to me.  I am the Jeans and Sweater kind of gal.  I can dress up when appropriate however when showing homes, no matter if they are a $5 home or a Multi-Million $ home, I dress casually. 

I have been commended on both my go-getter attitude and my no-nonsense sytle.

I am not afraid to tell someone that I don't believe that the property I am showing is not their house.  I am also not afraid to tell someone that I wouldn't purchase the house.  If I see issues with a house, I point them out.  On the flip side, if I see something I like, I point it out too!

When it comes to listing a house, I am the one who gets down to brass tax and tells the home owner that they need to do what I say with their home in order to get it sold.  If that means packing up all of their stuff that is not needed and putting it into storage, than that is what they do.  If it means painting a wall or even the entire house, they do it.  They know that I take all of my listings very seriously.

No offense to those honest real estate agents out there...
I also have an attitude that all real estate agents are scum until they have proven to me that they aren't.  Most people that I run across have been burned by a real estate agent and therefore it makes my job harder.  Although I have a huge client base and a huge following (so to speak), it is still hard to convince some home owners that I am unlike the rest.  I am not afraid to tell the home owner that I believe that all real estate agents are scum and that unless I refer an agent by name, I don't trust them.  This usually gets the home owners attention and then I follow with recommendations for them to call.  I wish it wasn't true, but some agents have proven to be the low of the low and then there are others that are the cream of the crop!  Those are the ones I want to meet.  I refer a lot of business out to other agents and am always looking to build my realtor friend base.

I didn't think I was going to be able to purchase a house on my credit.  My credit score was so low (570).  I approached Audra on one of her Rent to Own homes and she suggested to go through her preferred mortgage broker to see if I could get a loan instead of renting.  With a couple of adjustments, I was able to.  Audra was patient with me and my kids as I was on a low income and I didn't have a car of my own.  She drove me around until we found the home of my own.  Now I have a place for my kids and I to call home.  Thank you Audra. - Janet K., Kennewick-

I was in Active Foreclosure when Audra showed up on my doorstep.  She said that she might be able to help and explained all of the ins and outs of the foreclosure process.  She listed my house and didn't make me feel like I was a bad person for being in foreclosure.  She ended up working with my bank, got a buyer and I ended up with some money to move on with my life. Thanks. - Kelly A., Pasco-

Audra walked through my home on an Open House and shook her head.  She gave me her card and said, "if you are really serious about selling your house, call me".  I was shocked that someone was so bold.  I was actually really angry.  After talking with my husband, we called her to our home.  I had called her to tell her off and my husband said to give her a chance.  She came over in her jeans and a nice shirt.  I was appalled at first.  She had a Diet Coke in one hand and a bag in the other.  She explained her methods and the way she handles business.  After walking the house with her, I couldn't believe all the suggestions she had and told me that once they were done, she would list the house for $20,000 more than what we were asking as a For Sale By Owner.  I couldn't believe my ears.  Well, my husband and I decided together that we would do what she said and that we were going to do it in one weeks time and call her back out.  When we called her out, she was dressed in jeans again.  I finally asked her why the jeans.  She asked me, "If I were in a suit, could you think of me as your friend?"  My answer was no, just my real estate agent.  Her comment was "EXACTLY!".  I got it then.  She is not only my real estate agent, but also my friend.  She listed my house and sold it in 42 days and got 6% ABOVE asking price!  Now I am a believer of what she does! Go Get Em Audra! - Ms. Pasos, Spokane-
