Real Estate is challenging and exciting. It tests your limits of determination, especially in the Northshore marketplace, including Carlton, St. Louis, Lake and Cook Counties. I have formed a Team of professionals to aid in the process of selling and closing the sale of properties from home inspectors, lenders, buyers agents, insurance, title companies and more. We are known as Team Swor. Adam Sowr is my licensed realtor partner who specializes in working with clients that come our way from both MN and WI while I work with clients in MN. I have been a licensed Realtor for 9 years and am a member of the Duluth Association of Realtors, Minnesota Association of Realtors and National Association of Realtors. In today’s market climate, you need a capable, experienced realtor who will work hard to get the job done. My knowledge of the real estate market, my negotiating skills and my ability to listen to the clients' needs and desires keep me ahead of my competition. The internet has taken a strong and active role in the marketing and finding of homes. No longer can a sign or newspaper ad get the job compelted by itself. I have worked as a paralegal and also at Arrowhead Abstract and Title Company and bring those experiences onboard.
My aim is to guide my clients successfully through the process of managing their real estate. My ambitions lie in establishing a long-time, satisfying relationships with my clients. In order to achieve this, I use honest, intelligent and open methods of work aimed at meeting the needs and goals of my customers. I am known to go the extra mile to make things work as the word "how" replaces the word "no." Keeping positive and moving through the seasons with different types of buyers (there are four kinds) and relocation, tax return season, end of year investors, and qualified buyers in general all come into play at different times.
I take extreme pride in my work and care about making a difference. I know people are trusting me to help them with one of the biggest decisions they'll make in their lifetime and that is something I take very seriously. My customers and clients stay loyal and refer their family and friends to my expertise because they know I will always do everything in my power, whatever it takes to make sure everything goes smoothly from beginning to end. I have letters of referral to share from buyers, sellers, other realtors, former employing brokers, lenders and for sale by owners. My sellers always receive copies of all ads being done on their behalf via internet, MLS, newspapers and magazines along with what has listed, sold or how many inquires have come on their homes. I am an E-Pro's (internet marketing specialists) This is a real plus for sellers while expediting communications, increasing marketing exposure, and eliminating paperwork. ith 84% of buyers and sellers going to the internet before selecting a realtor or property, this gives me an advantage to both marketing a property and finding a property faster and also to finding competent referral partners for those moving out of the area who need to find homes in other states and areas. Virtual tours enhance your chances of showings and an offer.
I have specialized in staging homes to sell by keeping a low budget and working with the seller has to embelish their surroundings, often time moving things out or moving new things in. Training and certification for this skill was gained in 2003. One of the other services I provide is referral and relocation to other highly skilled agents when sellers are moving out of area and buyers are moving in. This is a timely and delicate matter for all involved with Chamber packets on community information, homes, agents & their skills, etc. We can go the extra mile that your standard agent can not. We help create a win win situation for both buyer and seller to make a deal come together.
I have done much motivational speaking and mentoring from skills gained through my days of sales with Fuller Brush, Mary Kay, Shaklee, Amway and others. My training, seminars and continued book reading allow me to continue to grow and share daily.
These services have given me top billing as a President's Circle Member in 2002 and 2003 (with Coldwell Banker in Ann Arbor, MI). Having had a short year in 2004 with Century 21 before moving to MN, I was able to achieve Ruby and Quality Service Awards in 6 months. These awards place me in the top 6 of agents nationwide. This year in 2006, I achieved the Executive Club status with RE/MAX which is a production based award. I am not your average realtor! Call upon me and judge for yourself. Many of the transactions I participate in are two sided with me having the listing and having secured a buyer from my many forms of media advertising, that include tv, paper, magazines, and internet.
On a personal level, one of the greatest joys of my life is working with children. Every week, I used to participate in the local tutoring program called HOST (Helping One Student To Succeed). It is an amazingly rewarding work my only regret is to not have done it sooner. Since becoming involved with real estate I have taken on a personal mission to give back to my community and others. Being an avid animal lover inspired me to contribute from each closing to the Humane Society so all our animal friends can get fed and find homes. I also have taken a stand and involvement with Domestic Abuse, Relay for Life, the Canned Food Drives, Foreign Exchange Programs (by sponsoring 9 kids over the years), Habitat for Humanity building projects, Warm the Children Coat Drive, Junior Achievement Crazy Bowl, Muscular Dystrophy Jail and Bail and Juvenile Diabetes. If there is a cause, I gladly participate and contribute. I believe strongly in sharing the blessings I have been given and am the Sunshine Lady for my local church, Palisades Baptist.
