It is important to have confidence in your real estate professional when you are buying or selling property.  Our commitment, as your Realtors, is to provide the specialized real estate service you deserve, while working diligently to assist you in meeting your real estate goals.

There are aspects of real estate sales that seem pretty simple.  Many elements of the transaction go smoothly, however, there many aspects of every transaction that are complicated and daunting.

We recently finished our GRI designation. As graduates of the Realtor Institute we will join a small elite group of Realtors, nationwide, that have completed a 15 course education program consisting of 95 hours of classroom lectures and testing.

Staying "on top" of the real estate market requires knowledge and education!  This year we have completed the following real estate classes:  Agency (3 hours), Ethics (3 hours), Trust Funds (3 hours), Fair Housing (3 hours), Legal Issues (8 hours), Strategies for Success (8 hours), Listing, Pricing and Marketing Properties (8 hours), Residential Real Estate Financing (8 hours), Marketing, Financing and Managing Commercial Properties (8 hours), Environmental Concerns, Construction Overview and Land Use (8 hours), Real Property, Tax and Exchanging (8 hours), and Technology Applications in Real Estate (8 hours).  By the end of the year we will have a combined total of over 200 hours of continuing education, which will enable us to better serve YOU!

Nancy is currently enrolled in the e-Pro Technology Training Program. As more buyers and seller "shop" online (approximately 81%) before engaging the time and talents of a real estate professional, it is important that your Realtor be knowledgeable in how to communicate and share information via the internet.

Nancy has also completed the following real estate classes for college credits:
1. Legal Aspects of Real Estate (3 units)
2. Real Estate Office Administration (3 units)
3. Real Estate Finance (3 units)
4. Real Estate Appraisal (3 units)
5. Real Estate Practice (3 units) 

We are also working towards our Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) designation.  We recently completed an eight hour coourse in Foreclosure Opportunities for Buyers/Clients. Call us with any questions that you may have on short sales and REO (Real Estate Owned by a lender) properties.  We have REPO lists available. 

If you are considering buying or selling a property or would just like to have additional information about real estate in your area, please don't hesitate to contact us.  We can be reached by either telephone or by e-mail.  We are full time Realtors and will return all inquiries in a prompt manner.

We can help you with every aspect of buying or selling your home because we're experienced, because we're professional . . .and because we care.
