I love living in the high Sonoran Desert, where the skies are clear and the desert is embraced by mountains, filled with color, life and beauty. I am a ‘people person’, which also means I'm passionate about my real estate career--my 3rd career actually. A brief background snapshot: I was a successful actress in Los Angeles for many years, studying under the 'best' acting coaches in the business. A
fter all, theatre work is about understanding human behavior--how to listen and relate to how people think and feel. I further refined those listening skills through my career as a professional photographer, enabling me to really 'get' what my clients were looking for and capturing those moments on film. When I began my residential real estate practice 6 years ago I felt I was a natural. Now it's about capturing the vision of what my clients are looking for in a home and community and making that happen. And certainly in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley it's all about lifestyle. So what does this mean to you as a potential client? In the 'theatre' of residential real estate I take my 'role' very seriously. My approach is simple--assist you in making better real estate decisions, my byline. The role is less 'sales' and more educator and resource person. To that end I am a diligent student of the game, consistently tracking the local real estate markets--the specific market trends and idiosyncrasies of communities you're interested in. When it comes time to sell, it's all about accurately identifying the 'sweet spot'--the 'real' price where a property will sell when properly staged and marketed. Again, better real estate decisions require accurate information. And as far as marketing your house, clearly all eyes are on the web. I can prove that through Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty I provide the best marketing on earth! For me it all comes down to this: Nothing feels better than making that transaction happen, where you know you've made the right decision--the first one being to use my services!
