  Going from teaching high school to selling real estate? Opening a RE/MAX office with six partners after just four years as a Realtor? Yes, it was a challenge — and I do love a challenge! It’s always been important to me to take charge of each day and make it count. As a result of maximizing each day’s challenges, in just 16 years we’ve grown from just 6 partners to 32 agents and have a 40-percent market share in a highly competitive real estate market. I’m excited to be able to do the work I love each day with the people I love. Three of the five members of my “Five-Star Team” are my family — my husband, my daughter and my son. We’re family, and I treat my clients like family. We know that most real estate transactions are stressful for my clients, even when they’re excited about buying the home of their dreams. I try my best to make the buying and selling process as smooth as I can for them. The whole team works together to make sure every detail is taken care of throughout the real estate purchase and sale. When I moved here with my family in 1965, and even when I graduated from Penn State in 1971, I never imagined that I’d be working in real estate. It certainly never crossed my mind that I would own and operate a successful real estate company some day. But that’s what seizing each day will get you — success. And because of that success, my team and I are able to go to work each day ready to make a difference in the lives of others.

Working With An Agent >Target Marketing
As soon as the listing agreement is signed, your real estate agent will begin the search for a buyer for your home. This means directing agents marketing efforts to target groups of individuals who are likely to be attracted to the amenities offered by your home and neighborhood.
If your property is near a new office park, your real estate agent will look there for prospects who want to live near their work place. If it is an historic property, the local preservation society may have a publication in which to advertise. Your agent may call or write to the neighbors who may know someone who would be attracted to your home. When your home is being marketed professionally, your agent will do a lot more than just feed the listing into the MLS and place an occasional ad.
