Why did you get into real estate? 

I love the excitement of the real estate business.  I felt drawn to it, and, when it was time to make a career change, I decided to choose something I knew I would love doing.  

What is your favorite part of being a real estate agent?

I get to shop for new homes for my clients every day.  Finding the right home for a client is an interesting challenge.  It is very satisfying when I find the place that feels like home to them.

What advice do you have for first-time home buyers?

I would advise first-time home buyers to do their homework first.  Start by getting a pre-approval so you really know what you have to work with.  Also, make checklists to determine what you desire in a home.  Being patient and having realistic expectations are critical for first-time home buyers.

What do you do on the weekend, that is, when you’re not hosting an Open House?

You can usually find me at a soccer, baseball or basketball game watching my 2 sons play.  When we have time, my husband and I are often working on a project to improve our own home.  When I am not working, I love spending as much time as I can with my family. 

What, other than Real Estate, are you passionate about?

I am passionate about education and love to volunteer at my children’s school when I am able.  I worked in school systems for 11 years and enjoy working with students.  I am also a sports fanatic and love tennis, following Purdue football and basketball, Chicago Cubs baseball, and Colts football.  Finally, I have a real passion for music and love singing at my church.

What’s the most important advice you would give to someone looking to sell their home?

I would advise them to find a realtor they trust.  Finding the right realtor/client fit can make the process so much more enjoyable.  Also remember to not overextend yourself financially.  You can enjoy your new home a lot more if you are not constantly stressing about money.

What super power do you wish you had and why?

I wish I had the power to make people happy!  That is what I strive to do in my business, but a super power would sure come in handy.
