My name is Sharon Roark and I'm a residential real estate agent specializing in buyer representation and home staging in Lexington, KY. I've lived in Central Kentucky all my life and have loved real estate since childhood when I would visit the construction sites where my father was building new homes. I know you have many options when it comes to choosing a real estate agent, so I make it a point to go above and beyond to earn your trust and your business.

When you work with me in finding a new home, I'll utilize my extensive knowledge of the area to help ensure you find the home and neighborhood that fits your lifestyle. I'll let you know about new listings that may be coming on the market soon so you'll have the latest information available throughout your search. And once you've found the right home, I'll help you negotiate the price, the terms and do everything possible to ensure the entire process goes smoothly.

If you need to sell your current home, I'll go above and beyond to help you with that as well. As an Accredited Staging Professional, I'll help you stage your home to appeal to the widest possible range of buyers. And staging your home helps it sell -- fast. According to a 2006 survey by the International Association of Home Staging Professionals, homes that were on the market an average of 4-6 months before being staged typically sold within 2 weeks after being staged, and homes that were staged before being put on the market sold, on average, in 4-6 weeks. Homes I stage usually sell within several weeks. I can't guarantee your home will sell that fast, but wouldn't you want to do everything possible to increase the likelyhood of that happening?

With a background in web marketing, I can give your home extensive exposure on the internet. As one of the few agents in the Lexington area that creates virtual tours of homes (only 5% of us utilize them), I'll help your home stand out. Homes that display more pictures and have virtual tours get more traffic and more traffic means more buyers are looking at your home.

As both an HSR and ASP accredited home stager, I can offer you service most other agents can't! By staging your home according to proven staging principles, I can help it sell up to 2-3 times faster and for about 6% more.

Moving here from out of state, my wife and I were fortunate to have run across Sharon on her company's web site. She pre-toured houses for us, sending us additional photos and information, so that once we came into town to look at the houses in person, we had condensed the list of possible choices to only houses that were viable options. We didn't have time to waste looking at houses that weren't even in the ballpark and we placed our trust in Sharon to help us rank them in order of priority based on her understanding of what we wanted. An excellent decision -- she stayed in touch and continued to assist us even after we closed on the house too, so we couldn't be happier. Would definitely recommend!

Sharon staged my home and it sold in a matter of weeks for full price! In this market, I didn't want to get my hopes up, especially after I had tried to sell my home the previous year with no success.

Sharon had great ideas for staging my home, was dedicated to seeing it through in a professional manner and made my home look like the pictures you see in magazines! When buyers toured our home, you could hear them say, "Wow, this is so nice". Nearly everyone who had a first showing scheduled a second showing, so I knew that buyers were impressed.

I've worked with some good agents in the past, but Sharon went way above and beyond with her level of service. I would definitely use her again!
