For most of my career, I worked in management roles in various industries such as banking, vehicle sales, architecture, restaurant services and commercial cleaning, and it’s there that I learned a lot of the basic principles that I’ve carried over to my real estate career
, like providing exceptional service and working to exceed my client’s expectations. While those may seem like characteristics that most realtors may say they offer, my background helped me to ensure that they weren’t just things I said; they’re things that are ingrained in everything that I do and hold a solid foundation in my way of thinking. While working in other occupations, I always considered myself to be entrepreneurial by nature, so when I was making a career change, real estate seemed like the perfect fit for me. It allowed me to focus on building a business as well as a little flexibility in my schedule so that I could spend more time with my family when there was that need. Terminal sickness struck close to home, so flexibility became essential. Chautauqua County, specifically Lakewood, is my home. I absolutely love the lifestyle that living here provides, and I’m proud to tell people all about the area and what makes it such a great place to live (sometimes even when they don’t ask). But that also means that I’m familiar with not only the great features of the area itself, but also the local real estate market. I don’t just work in Lakewood though; to provide the best and most well-rounded experience I can, I help my clients buy and sell real estate in all of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and even in southern Erie County. But I haven’t been able to get here completely alone. I have two big supporters that have helped me get where I am: my always supportive husband Kurt, and my brokerage: Keller Williams of WNY. I’ve been in real estate since January of 2016. Keller Williams, for me, and my business, has been a fantastic addition, serving as an extension of my beliefs. They’re a nationally recognized company, and they’ve helped me deliver on my promise of service and results-driven business by offering a high-caliber support team with a serious focus on client satisfaction to the table. Together, we make a great partnership. This market is one of the greatest times in history to purchase a home. Even with fluctuating interest rates, the average rate of home appreciation of 7.8% over the last 30 years makes real estate a strong and valuable investment. Whether it is for your primary residence or investment property.
