Why I Love What I Do! I have been a Real Estate Broker since 2006. In May of 2005 I sold a house & bought a house. The process intriqued me, so I took my equity money and went to a Real Estate School obtaining my license within 6 weeks. I went to a local REMAX office & asked for them to sponsor my license. I sold 12 houses my first 5 months and never looked back. This is me getting my first Real Estate Commission! Alot has changed in the past 20 years in Real Estate. We don't receive paper checks anymore and I don't get the sign calls or office calls that we received in the early 2000's but I still LOVE what I do!  I love that I can volunteer at my church during the day to make flowers ! I love the freedom this career gives me to work how I want to work and not how someone tells me how ... 02/17/2025

My 3 Tech Tools That I Started Using 2024It does feel like we are drowning in a sea of new technology! To be honest, I was hesitant about using it, mostly lazy! I didn't want to learn anything new! I have always said though "if you ain't learning, you ain't earning!" So I decided get off my lazy behind and check out some new technology and hopefully make my business easier. 1. CHATGPT I have no idea what it stands for but my office had a zoom training on it so I joined the meeting. HOLY COW! I use this feature everytime I have to write a description for a new listing.

Dear Homebuyer-Have you considered these facts Part 2?I heard this today on several social media sites:  Divorce Your Landlord  Marry The House Date The Rate  What I believe they are referring here to is if you are waiting to buy because the interest rate is 7% you may be waiting awhile !  You should stop renting, find a your beautiful dream home & find a seller or new home builder that will buy down your interest rate for a few years.  If you are currently renting at $2,500.00 and you pay that over the next 5 Years you will have spent $150,000.00 with no return on your investment. If you find a home that the seller or new builder will buy down your interest rate you can refinance the home in a few years if the interest rates go down. In the meantime you are building your equity so when... 09/14/2023

Life Lessons Learned in Work & PersonalWow! Where do I start? So many lessons in this life,  work & personal. I will start with work and it will be hard to choose because I learn something new in almost every day in real estate transactions! I have a lot of agents ask how to get started in Real Estate? Do I buy leads? Do I do Open Houses? Do I post on social media etc...? What I learned a long time ago, before the internet, was to simply talk to people about real estate! I tried the bought leads, the Open Houses & I now post on social media, but honestly I got my sphere started by just talking to people about real estate! I wore my little real estate badge everyday, everywhere I went! My broker told me to wear it on my pajamas, so I did! I wore it into church too and guess what? Everyon... 08/11/2023

Happy Valentines Day ! We really don't celebrate Valentines at my house. My husband says it a "fabricated holiday" I am okay with that as he spoils me all year long! I was curious to see why we celebrate Valentine's anyway, so I googled it. Seems the day is observed in honor of Saint Valentine of Terni.  He was a priest who was supposedly known for secretly performing marriages for Christians & preaching Christianity before it was legal. He was even put under house arrest as he would not renounce his faith.  While imprisioned he fell in love with the jailer's daughter & soon restored her sight.  Thus, the house converted to Christianity,  believing in the power of God.  Before the news reached the emperor however, Valentine was executed on February 14th.  On the day of his execution , h... 02/14/2023

I am truly grateful for my office! When I started real estate in 2005 I had sold and bought a home with a RE/MAX agent. I went to real estate school and was solicited by many companies but I knew in my heart I was going to my local RE/MAX.  So I stepped out in faith joined the firm and never looked back.  As a RE/MAX agent I have access to other agents all over the world! I have definitely taken advantage of the technology offered including leads, an amazing website,  training & motivational speakers and recognition offered by the RE/MAX brand.  The RE/MAX balloon is in the top 10 recognized symbols in the world! Sure I could be my own broker and probably save money but I do think being part of a big brokerage has helped me sell homes and obtain a referral base. My husband I purchased t... 11/29/2022

I have been fortunate to be in a business to help my friends, family & church family with selling and buying their homes.I started my real estate career in a very busy office in 2005. I stepped out in faith after selling a home and buying a home when I thought this was something I could do for a career! I had no plan but a blind faith that followed me through. I started handing out my cards and wore my real estate badge everywhere I went. My broker said to wear it on my pajamas too, so I did! I have only paid for real estate leads one time in my career and have been fortunate to have clients, family & friends refer me over the last 17 years which I am beyond thankful for! I... 11/10/2022

What is a 2-1 Buydown for your mortgage interest rate?Since the mortgage interest rates have gone up recently there has become a trend in the lending industry to help buyers buy down their mortgage interest rate. Per my lender friend Daniel Anderson at Integrity Mortgage sellers can offer a credit to pay $10K to a buyer, helping a buyer obtain a mortgage interest rate reduction. For example, from 7.25% to 5.25%. This results in a monthly savings of up to approximately $520.00 a month on a buyers mortgage! This makes sense to me as lowering the rate would save more money than lowering the sales price. Of course, the seller has to be able to offer this to a buyer instead of reducing his sales price. For more information or to crunch some numbers to see if this would work for you, click on... 10/21/2022
