<p>My mission is to provide top quality service and communication. I want my buyers and sellers to understand the buying and selling process as well as I do. I provide&nbsp;regular service reports&nbsp;to my&nbsp;clients so they can understand what is happening and what I am doing for them.</p><p>For buyers, I offer unparralleled service &amp; I am willing to work days, nights, weekends. I enjoy MATCHING, not selling, real estate. I educate buyers on the market; they fine-tune me so we can find the right home for them.</p><p>Team: I work w/ my husband, Mike, who had 25 years of banking and investment experience before entering real estate. He is as customer-oriented as I am. We try to fit your schedule, not ours.&nbsp; Emily Ryan, also a licensed real estate agent, is the administrator and client care coordinator.&nbsp; She&nbsp;grew up in a small family business and knows the meaning of&nbsp;excellent service and product knowledge.&nbsp;</p><p>Real estate success?&nbsp; I sell a house every 4 days. What does that mean to you? If you are a buyer, I know how to get what you want. In any negotiation, it often must be a win-win to work. If it doesn't cost you to give the seller what (s)he wants and you get what you want, it's a win. If you are the seller, my experience helps you put your home on the market in the right condition at the right price for a quicker, higher sale. Knowing the market is my forte.</p><p>My background:&nbsp; &nbsp;Was award-winning consumer reporter for The Indpls News, the afternoon daily newspaper, then won awards as the editor of Indpls Magazine.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have served as&nbsp;president, long-time secretary, business chair and Home Tour chair of Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Assoc.&nbsp; During my tenure on the home tour, we &nbsp;instituted several innovative programs including the popular Twilight Tour.
