I Passed and Signed With Keller Williams Brainerd Lakes

By
Home Stager with Broker/Short Sale & Staging Specialist

    One recent cold and snowy winter day, I drove to Willmar, Minnesota and took my State and National licensing exams.  After studying for several weeks, I was ecstatic to not only pass but get 100% on the National portion.  Now I have finally signed on with Keller Williams Realty Brainerd Lakes.  To all those agencies I did not choose, thank you for your time and kindness.  You made the decision very difficult and I did not make this choice without considerable thought.  In the end I went with what seemed to be the best fit for my staging business and my agent status.

 

    My staging company will still continue to work with all agents and home sellers regardless of their affiliations. Perhaps you will sell some of my listings, as my plan is to have them properly prepared for the market and showing well.

    To all sellers and buyers in the Brainerd Lakes area, you already know my standing in the home staging industry. Now you can benefit from my expertise all the way to closing. With a background in construction and design, I can help you visualize the potential in any property.

    In this difficult market- you need a competitive edge.

 

Hire the staging and selling team.

Congratulations and welcome to Keller Williams. My family and I are from Minnesota but now reside in Austin Texas. We often think of Ya All up there in snow country this time of year. Good luck. You signed with a great company.
