Who I Am and Why I Am a Realtor:  I started in the Social Services Public Assistance Eligibility field in 2005 because I was a client who wanted to make a difference in the lives of those that society deemed less fortunate and less than. I knew that I may have been less fortunate, but I was not less than. I wanted to help others see that EVERYONE, are all able with some help that motivates and encourages better  less fortunate and those that are not, are ALL in need of help at some point in their lives and the goal of each of us is to provide the help that we can to motivate and encourage one another to strive for better.   I LOVE being a servant leader and making a positive difference in the life of others. This passion allowed me to work in various areas of eligibility, quality assurance and quality control, trainer, mentor/ coach, supervisory, business analysis, data analysis and user experience design. In each of these areas I was able to gain education, experience, and expertise to help me better serve. These are the foundation of my ability to be a good servant leader. My Education:   I have ALWAYS LOVED taking in knowledge for the benefit of myself and others that I serve. As a Realtor, I have taken several training sessions to obtain knowledge to provide to my customers and clients to allow them the ability to make informed real estate decisions. In addition to my Commitment to Excellence (C2Ex) and countless trainings, I have earned the following:  Certifications: Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), Short Sale Foreclosure Resource (SFR), Workforce Housing Specialist (WHS), Military Relocation Professional (MRP), At Home With Diversity (AHWD), Smart Home Certified  Designations: Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS)  Member of the 2021 and 2022 NC Realtors Diversity Committee: this has motivated me to want to continue to make a difference and be part of the rooted values in the advancement of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. To make it a living, breathing and growing part of the organization for the benefit of Realtors and the customers and clients that we work with. I will continue to strive to make this a priority in how I spread the importance of this initiative. My Experience:  With the knowledge I have gained and taking it a step further by applying it to my transactions has added to my experience in serving my customers and clients to the fullest and best of my ability. The various experiences I have worked with from buyers needing to improve their credit, to expanding my areas of service for the benefit of my buyer clients needing affordability with the price point of their homes, to pre-foreclosure, to potential lender suspensions of a buyer's loan, to standing up for my clients when dealing with an overzealous agent, and so on and so forth. The plethora of experiences I have gained by working with various people with varied circumstances has allowed me to be flexible and understanding to meet the needs of those customers and clients I work with. My Expertise:  My personality, education and experience has allowed me to be an expert in the field of Residential real estate. This allows me to work with customers and clients to provide Trustworthy Realty Exceeding Expectations!!! Putting my education, experience, and expertise to use:  We provide information and resources to help YOU with determining the best Real Estate option for YOU!  I was a single mother of three girls, who purchased my first home in 2015. I had an opportunity to do so years ago, but fear and misconceptions prevented me from taking the step toward home ownership. When I did so in 2015, I realized I wanted to help others overcome barriers so that they too can work toward the goal of owning their own home.  Through the journey of home ownership, lease with a right to purchase is an option to allow preparation time for homeownership.  For those who already own their home and would like to sell, I can assist with that as well.  I personally know the shame of not being able to keep a home for myself and my family because I have experienced evictions in my past. Life happens to us all and sometimes it may lead to a short sale or foreclosure. I can help you with resources that may be available to help you keep your home and I can help you protect your credit and sell your home before the foreclosure is finalized. There is no shame in needing help in life and I have taken specialized training to provide you the help you need by providing options and allowing you to make informed decisions that best suit you and your family, if applicable.  Not everyone wants to own a home, no worries, I can assist with rentals as well. No matter the real estate path, let's talk, I'm here to provide guidance and simplified improved processes for YOU!  What I believe makes me unique:  In most situations, a real estate transaction is the most expensive and long- term investment a person will make, and I believe it should be made based on trustworthy guidance. My driving force is that of providing this trustworthy guidance to every person I work with, whether a customer or client.   I can't promise that every transaction will be exactly what is desired, but I can promise that I will use my education, experience, and expertise to work hard to meet the request and find alternatives that will meet the need when the initial request cannot be met through no fault of myself, the guidance, or the service I provide.  I believe I am unique because first and foremost I am a trustworthy person with values and integrity that are above and beyond a desire to push a customer or client to make an uninformed decision for the sole purpose of earning a commission.  If you or anyone you know is looking for such a Realtor,  make contact via your preferred communication. I am ready, willing, and able to provide Trustworthy Realty Exceeding Expectations!!!
