Why Choose Me?
Pendleton has many experienced, honest real estate agents. So why should you choose me? Please consider that unlike most Realtors, I SPECIALIZE IN WORKING WITH YOU - THE BUYER. This allows me to focus entirely on your behalf. Regarding sellers I work with a three person team to sell your home. I have exceptional passion and energy for what I do. Since the age of 18 I have bought and sold over 20 homes - both as a consumer and investor. I find the process of searching for that perfect home at the best price to be an exciting and rewarding challenge. I have enjoyed my 22 years of teaching math and finance as well, but I find the experience of buying a home to be a "real life" project. Perhaps the fact that I love what I do is the best reason for you to choose me as your Realtor. Furthermore, I believe that my past experience of buying homes allows me to share important insights with clients. I will be glad to provide you with the name of contractors, carpet stores, plumbers, electricians, insurance and finance companies whom I have personally used. I take pride in helping my clients with a complete package. I will continue to work until the job is done. I feel fortunate that I can get paid for doing what I love.
