Use this section to write about yourself - don't be shy - Why should a buyer or seller want to work with you? Do you have any certifications and qualifications? What sets you apart from other agents/loan officers?

    I can say without a doubt that in the past 3 1/2 years as an agent I have seen the best and the worst that the industry can offer! The real estate industry can change in the blink of an eye. Many agents in my office have come and gone. I have seen other franchise sales offices fold up their tents and give in due to the market down trend, but I can honestly say that I have stuck it out and learned to adapt to the market and still enjoy it and appreciate my clients even more than I did during the up market. I have been educated in the growing field of "short sales" within the past 6 months. I have learned how to deal with lenders, lawyers, clients and even co-workers on a much different field of play! It is easy to deal with all the "players " in an up market the money just fell into the agents pockets. Listings came in and sold within weeks and even days! During that time I didn't feel the personal attachment to the people around me that I do today! I can tell you this much if you need my services I am there for you. That is my promise. I can help find that dream home or sell your home according to this market trend. I can direct you in the right direction for attorneys, lenders and even some good home inspectors .

Use this section to write about your specific areas 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.

Living in The Crystal Lake and Cary area all of my life has helped me greatly. Owning a local  trade business for nearly 30 years has given me knowledge of new construction and what it takes to update homes to be at the highest level when it comes time  to sell or buy . I feel that I am a highly qualified      Listing agent and Buyers agent marketing in all of  McHenry County and Northern Kane County  Illinois but specifically Cary & Crystal Lake.
