Helping Clients Meet Their Real Estate Goals
I'm from the East coast of the U.S. and have happily completed 21 career-related moves, some of them during my childhood as a military brat and the rest as a manager/consultant in the software industry. Some of the places I've lived include Chicago (IL), Paris (France), Saratoga (NY), Montgomery (AL), West Point (NY), Milford (CT), Massapequa (NY), Hempstead (NY), Warner Robins (GA), Neptune Beach (FL), Roanoke (VA), Gaithersburg (MD), Jacksonville (FL), Baltimore (MD), San Jose (CA), Dallas (TX), and for the last seven years, Tallahassee (FL).
I have a great deal of personal and professional experience in preparing a home and selling as well as buying a home and settling in a new location. I know what's involved in making a real estate transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible and work diligently to put that knowledge to work for my clients.
As a REALTOR®, my focus in every transaction is to build a relationship of trust and provide expert advice to help my clients realize their goals. To stay prepared, I take time daily to study the real estate market, especially in the Tallahassee area.
My B.S. in Computer Science and years of experience in the software industry serves my real estate clients by assuring them effective online marketing services and communication options. As a certified PMP (Project Management Professional), I am skilled at helping others formulate their goals and developing & executing a plan to meet them.
Most important, I enjoy getting to know my clients and learning what is important to them - and having fun while we work toward making their dreams a reality.
What You Should Expect From a Realtor ...
- Excellent Negotiating Skills
You want someone you can trust to look out for your best interests and negotiate on your behalf. It's too difficult to remain objective when you're trying to negotiate for yourself and that's why you need someone you trust to negotiate on your behalf.
- Accurate, Timely Information
You need the right information to make good decisions. You need an expert who will provide, answers to all your real estate questions and regular status reports on your transaction.
You'll avoid problems when you take advantage of up-to-date market knowledge and expertise and are provided with viable alternatives for important decisions. Buying and selling a home is stressful and can be very frustrating. Having expert advice and someone to handle many of the details all through the transaction can relieve stress and make the transaction as smooth as possible.
What My Clients Are Saying ...
Thank you so much for helping us on such short notice with our house search. We appreciate your willingness to work with us and deal with all the little details. We will definitely be recommending you to anyone we know who may be in the market for a house! ... Linda Jockers and Trevor Woods
Dear Colleen,
We want to thank you for excellent service and hard work in getting our home sold so quickly. We thought It would be difficult being in St. Petersburg trying to sell our home in Tallahassee, but you made the process very easy.
Based on your insightful suggestions, we cleaned and painted and fixed those things in the house that would make our home stand out. With your help, we also hired the right professionals to help with those repairs that we couldn't do ourselves. When we finished, it looked like a new house, inside and out. Our personal goal was to try to sell the house within a 30 days. We knew that goal might be difficult in this real estate market, but we felt confident we made the right decision in choosing Century 21 to help us. The market value analysis helped us to price our home at a fair market value. You exceeded our goal by having a signed contract within a few days after signing the listing agreement. We couldn't believe it. We actually closed on the house within 30 days of the agreement.
Again, thank you for taking care of all the details and looking out for our best interest. We couldn't have done it without you. I would highly recommend you to my friends and family.
Best regards, Ellen and Gordon Shelby
