RE/MAX On Point | Great Valley

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to read about me! Allow me to introduce myself! I am Ciji VanDyke of RE/MAX On Point! And if you're wondering how to pronounce that, it's easy - just like the two letters "C.G.". And if you're now thinking I wonder what that name means? Or the family history and origin of it? Well, I'm here to say it came from the land of soap operas! That's right, my parents named me after a character on a soap opera! In 2009 I started selling real estate full time. I was ready to help buyers and sellers achieve the "American Dream"....In one of the WORST....MARKETS....EVER! Yikes! But I was determined to make this career work! In my first year of real estate, I sold 5 units. And I will honestly tell you, I am PROUD of those 5 units! You have to start somewhere in this business! I've always believed if I could survive THAT market, then I could make a successful go at this career! 2012 was a break-through year for me. I finished the year with selling 45 units (insert applause lol!). Finally, the hard work was paying off! On average, I typically help 70+ buyers and sellers every year with their home purchases and sales, but my forte is first time buyers and VA clients. It is an honor helping a person turn their dream into a reality of becoming a homeowner. Even more gratifying is assisting a Veteran who has dedicated their life to our country. When I'm not hustlin' and bustlin' with real estate, I'm a proud Mama of three extraordinary kiddos - Cami, Brody and Berkley! My four-legged children, Chloe, Cleo and Floki, are also pretty special! When life spares us a moment or two, Todd and I LOVE cooking on our food truck! We typically will do a couple of chicken BBQ benefits every summer to support a local cause or group. Its a great way to give back and we truly enjoy the art of BBQ'ing! So there you have it folks! I'm a beyond dedicated Real Estate Agent who never stops hustling for her clients helping them achieve the "AMERICAN DREAM"!

I've been interested in real estate since long before I decided to make it a career. I'm glad I finally did! I try to look at things from my client's point of view and remember that purchasing a home is one of life's monumental events; something that a lot of people only do once or twice in their lives. With this in mind, I strive to give my clients my full attention, and guide them through every step of the home buying process. Home ownership is a big part of the American Dream, and I'm proud to play a role in helping people achieve that dream.

"Living Thankfully" has made a big difference in my life. I am thankful for my husband Jerry, my sons Trevor and Ian and my wonderful grandchildren. I carry this over into my work life as well. As a Real Estate Broker for over 35 years, I am truly thankful for all the wonderful customers and clients I have had a privilege in knowing and helping realize their Real Estate Dreams. I was born and raised in Salamanca and attended school here as well. I attend church every Sunday at Riverside Chapel where I am a leader in the Jr. church program for the 6-12 year old children. I own Myers Steakhouse and Inn, with my son Trevor. Our business is located in Salamanca as well. I am proud to say I am a long time member of the City of Salamanca Planning Board. We live in a very diverse and scenically beautiful region of NY State, known as the Southern Tier. 4 Seasons of beauty work for me.
