I’m so excited to finally introduce two new members of my marketing team!! This is SALE and SOLD!! They both suit their names hugely!! Can you guess which one is which? 😁

Sold and an AMAZING human kindness story to go with it!! My sweet 95 year old smart and sassy Seller’s condo went into multiple offers. This can be a challenging choice for many sellers, but not this remarkable woman. We went over the details of all of them and she said “this is the one I want to fully accept!!”. I agreed with her it was a good offer, BUT it was the lowest priced one. The fact that it was a first time single Buyer trying to get into the
market and her heart went out to him hugely. She said to me “I just want to help him dear”. It literally brought tears to my
eyes. She accepted his offer and it is now his first home! She could’ve possibly made more money on her home, but instead she choose to help someone who needed it. Human kindness at its finest! I was/am so grateful I got to be a small part in it 💛. I do have the best clients!!!

Big Thank-You to my clients, friends, and family for trusting me and allowing me to help in the process of accomplishing your goals! These awards are because of you! I’m grateful and appreciative to all of you! Thank you!
I truly enjoy Guiding You Home… 💛

I have purposely and patiently waited a long time to take my business to the next level and have been working on things behind the scenes for a few years now. Slow and steady has been my mantra to keep clients happy with the services they deserve, as well as, being there for my children when they were young. The time has finally come to expand and help even more clients/friends accomplish their goals! I’ve always been incredibly fortunate to have the most amazing people to work with which I’m very grateful for! Plus, extra appreciation for them when they have referred their friends and colleagues to me as well. Thank you!💐Hopefully everyone will be super comfy in this while I am… Guiding You Home… 💛
