Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
A single mom was referred to me to sell her $475,000 home in a local suburb. To my dismay, although the home was merely 2 years new and nicely upgraded, the whole interior of the home was painted LAVENDER! Needless to say as a divorce situation the funds were not available to pay for the repainting and we ultimately provided a credit at closing and all ended well. Now, as a recurring client, she comes to me not only for help in selling or buying, but also to consult me for interior color choices! I always feel the need to tell her "as long as it's NOT LAVENDER!"
What is your best characteristic?
The ability to really hear the needs of my clients and provide them with solutions that might not have been considered.

My clients needs.
What is the best advice you ever received?
I've been fortunate to have been influenced by alot of great people, but it was my mother who said "it's better to be alone than to follow in bad company". I surround myself with only positive infuences that enable me to be the best person possible.
