Did You Know?

Did you know real estate agents are independent contractors? This means we are all essentially individual business owners, simply affiliated with an overhead brokerage for legal reasons. Why is this important? Each business owner operates their businesses differently. We all have our own business practices, our own techniques, our own strategies. It is critical for you to identify which agent has the personality, track record, and overall business identity that you align with and are EXCITED to work with! No two agents operate their businesses the same, even if they are affiliated with the same brokerage.

Sounds like you’ve already begun! This type of research is a great way to become a smart home shopper. The highest priorities to focus on before you begin searching for specific areas, neighborhoods, or homes would be to familiarize yourself with your personal finances. Contact me so we can discuss the different loan types and I can introduce you to a fantastic, local mortgage lender to help you understand the numbers! Let’s sit down over coffee and talk about the entire home-buying process.

Once we meet and review your home buying needs, you should select a loan officer.

Absolutely! I am able to get you into ANY house in the area listed by ANY real estate company, and even for sale by owner homes! With For Sale By Owner, we will aim to keep the transaction just as smooth as it would be if each side of the sale had a real estate agent. There could be some nuances which we’ll discuss in detail if the time comes.

If you see "contract pending" in a house description online, this means that the home is Under Contract. Both parties (the buyer and the seller) have accepted final terms but they have not yet "Closed" on the property. There are likely some contingencies that need to be removed prior to closing. Can we schedule a showing? Not usually. Can the deal fall through? Yes, this is possible, so let's keep an eye on it.

In the most recent years, I have repeatedly been awarded Better Homes and Gardens’ EMERALD Award, the highest recognition for a top performer in the entire company, nation-wide. This award is for the top 3% of all agents. Before I joined Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate | The Good Life Group in 2019, I was affiliated with NP Dodge Real Estate where I was ranked NP Dodge's #1 Top Individual Agent throughout the state of Nebraska. You'll find me breaking new records and setting new standards every day with the way I run my business.
I have over $130 Million in production under my belt and over 515+ houses sold in my career thus far.

I sell homes 4 times faster than the average real estate agent according to the MLS. While the state of the market at any point in time contributes to how quickly a house sells, there are tried-and-true actions I take with my clients PRIOR to listing their home for sale that greatly reduce days on market and increase our liklihood of receiving multiple strong offers. I am able to put myself in the minds of home buyers to know what buyers will expect to see when they open your door and, together, we achieve success.

Every. Single. Time. Since day 1 of my real estate career, I've always ensured we have professional photos. After all, buyers are starting their home search online. If the photos don't shine, your house won't get seen. Bonus... my husband is a full-time professional real estate photographer and FAA certified drone operator. His photos are incredible and you'll love them! By the way, photos are only scratching the surface of the other marketing tools we'll take advantage of.
