Use this section to write about your specific area's of expertise. Do you specialize in first time buyers - listing high end homes - etc. Are there specific market area's that you specialize in? The more you write about your area's of expertise the more knowledgeable you'll sound to a potential buyer or seller.

My areas of expertise are working with first time home buyers and sellers and elder home sellers. I limit my practice geographically so that I can be a rich resource of information about the history of the community, the housing market, the community resources, etc.

As a Listing Agent my strengths are in comprehensive and consistent marketing; providing my Sellers with detailed information so they can make informed decisions; keeping my Sellers informed about every phase of the transaction; and helping Sellers coordinate their moves.

As a Buyer's Agent my strengths are familiarity with special loan programs for first time buyers; a diverse referral network to ensure the Buyer gets professional, ethical and reliable service from all the members of the team who must do their jobs properly in order for the Buyer to get the keys; persistence and patience to be sure the Buyer purchases the home that will most adequately meet their needs at a price the Buyer can afford; and establishing a long term relationship so I can be your Realtor for Life.

Do you have any good testimonials that clients have provided you in the past? Be sure to add them here.

"When we sold our home the field appraiser determined the value was what the home was selling for but the reviewer reduced the value by $10,000 saying that our back room was a patio and not to be included in the living space. Beth worked an entire weekend taking pictures and finding more comps and writing a letter showing that this room was a real room. The reviewer agreed with her after reviewing the evidence she provided. She got us back our $10,000!" Rod P.

"I have worked with Beth for about 15 years. She has helped me buy and sell 4 times. I keep coming back to her because I can trust her and she listens to me and keeps me informed.  I just tell her what I want to do and she shows me how to do it." Bob P.

"My husband and I had to sell our 2 story house after he became ill. Beth helped us sell our home and find another, single story, in our same neighborhood. My husband died a few months after we moved into our new home. Beth still comes to see me every month and I enjoy her company. She made our real estate transactions as painless as possible and her compassion is a comfort to me." Valda R.

"Beth has been the Realtor for Vallejo Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. for the past 8 years. We are a non-profit corporation serving Solano, Napa and Lake Counties and our primary mission is to provide the opportunity for home ownership to low to moderate income home buyers. We do this through many avenues including acquiring distressed properties to rehab and sell to our target buyers and building small new home developments. Between 2000 and 2004 we acquired a total of 128 condominium units in one development (Lighthouse at Bridgeport), rehabbed them and sold them to owner occupants. Beth represents us in all of these transactions. Her dedication, patience, knowledge and generosity make her a valued member of our team. In fact, she is so good that I and other staff members have her for our personal Realtor." R. Walton, Executive Director, VNHS
