Bob and I began our careers in real estate related businesses. I was an interior designer. Bob was a mortgage lender. In 2004, we decided to pursue real estate.
There was a need for services for people relocating to Colorado. We wanted to introduce our community to out of state home buyers. Thus, our Neighborhood Videos. These videos have been invaluable to our clients in determining those communities that they would like to focus on.
People want to deal with someone that has a proven track record and the expertise to handle their business. I am a top producing agent in our RE/MAX office in Parker. I'm a member of the RE/MAX Hall of Fame. I am am a RE/MAX Lifetime Achievement Award winner and am in the top 7% of all RE/MAX agents nationwide.
We are 36 year residents of Parker, which is only a few miles from Castle Rock, Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, Centennial and southern Aurora. These are towns that we specialize in.
We do business the "old fashioned" way. Like answering the phone on the first call. night. Setting our calendar based on our clients' schedule, rather than ours. Being on time. Being honest. Approaching every situation with the clients' best interest in mind. Always doing the right thing.
Our property search is "cutting edge". Our Parker Neighborhood Videos are unique in our market. We love previewing homes and Facetiming with our out of state clients. Nothing will replace the "belly to belly" approach, but utilizing technology is a must for us.
Many things in real estate are time critical. So, we make ourselves available whenever our time and service is needed, day or night. We are totally client directed and driven.
Bob spends a lot of his time researching properties for our clients. His knowledge of the market is amazing. Once we determine our client's needs, Bob is at work finding the right homes.. He also manages our website, which is a critical component of our business. My primary responsibility is to serve our clients from the time they decide to work with us until they have closed on their new home. The first thing I always do is listen carefully to our clients' "wants and needs" to determine what kind of home they want, what they want to spend and where they want to live. From there it's about finding them the right home, determining value for the offer, writing and negotiating the offer, managing the contract , working with lenders, home inspectors, insurance companies, contractors, title company and more. My goal is to have extremely happy clients at the closing table.
Our main source of business is and always has been, our website. With over 1600 visits per month to our website, we have one of the most active real estate websites in Parker and Douglas County. Our other source of business is from our past clients. As a result of selling over 350 homes, we have accumulated many satisfied clients that are likely to contact us when they are ready to sell.
What are our hobbies? I have an interior design/art background. I love arts and crafts of all kinds. I am an avid scrapbooker with a 1500 square foot basement full of supplies, work stations, etc.. Also, I love gardening in the spring and summer. Both Bob and I love to travel, but because of our business, our vacations tend to be very short and never very far from a computer. Bob has a passion for bowling. And, I mean a passion. Two nights a week, he bowls leagues. In the fall, he loves to follow his Texas Longhorn football team.
We moved to Parker from Austin, Texas in 1987. Bob and I had been vacationing (summer and winter) in Colorado for years. We would ski in the winter and do the "dude ranch" thing in the summer. It became my dream to move to Colorado. In 1987, that opportunity presented itself and we moved from Austin to Parker. It was truly a dream come true. Thirty six years later, we still love it here and intend to stay in Colorado for the rest of our days.
