      <image:caption>Everything from the search, to the negotiations and closing had me hooked. My husband and I bought and sold 3 more times over the next 6 years and this became the catalyst for my career in real estate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>MARKETING</image:title>
      <image:caption>Every home is different and each property should have a unique marketing plan.  I take a concierge style approach providing assistance with everything from staging and painting to hiring contractors and facilitating Title V inspections, water testing and smoke inspections. I am detail oriented and provide a listing timeline so you will know what to expect and when to expect it throughout the process. My number one goal is a smooth transition from pre-listing to close.   First impressions are everything.  I always use a professional photographer and videographer to create high definition walk through video tours with aerial photography for the wow factor buyers are looking for. The videos below are a few examples of my marketing. For more examples or to get a customized marketing plan for your home, contact me.</image:caption>
