Professional Profile
With over 1,700 homes sold and twenty-one years of experience in the Lawrence, KS real estate market, I have developed an expertise in handling both buyer and seller side transactions. I’ve earned the respect of both my clients and my peers through fair dealing, being an effective negotiator and my ability to quickly resolve issues. I am dedicated to broadening access to home-ownership here in Lawrence through buyer education and assisting first time buyers through the purchase process. I also list properties for sale, and strive to add value for my listing clients by investing in the best marketing and advertising partnerships, enabling me to boost exposure for their listings. I’m considered a leader in online advertising, marketing and real estate technology by my peers. I’m a strong fair housing advocate and cherish the diversity we have here in Lawrence.
Award Winning Team of Licensed Professionals
In addition to myself, I employ two full-time licensed real estate professionals and a full-time transaction facilitator. My team members are not compensated on commission, which is unique. They receive a guaranteed salary and benefits package that empowers them to focus on what matters, customer service. Guaranteed pay, assures the entire team’s focus remains on the customer’s best interest and the quality of service we provide. Our compensation policy reinforces my top commitment to clients, which is, our clients will always receive the same honest and compassionate service my reputation was built on, regardless of which team member is servicing them. Our licensed agent team approach magnifies and improves all levels of service provided, and an unrivaled 80 hours of agent availability every week that includes after hours and weekend availability.
