I have lived in Lancaster County most of my life except for a year abroad in Marburg, Germany and 8 years living and working in the Washington DC area. I am a Penn Manor and Millersville University alum and enjoy cheering their athletic teams on. Things I like to do: golf, going to the beach - especially Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes DE, being with family and friends. eating at The Buttery in Lewes.
What do the designations mean after my name? Part of my job in providing my clients top service includes educating myself in the classroom as well as experientially.
SRES® Designation
Senior Real Estate Specialist
I just earned this designation in November 2009.
By earning the SRES® designation, the REALTOR® has demonstrated requisite knowledge and expertise to counsel senior clients through
major financial and lifestyle transitions involved in relocating, refinancing, or selling a home. Seniors Real Estate Specialists®
have received special training, regular updates, and are prepared to offer the options and information needed to make life changing decisions.
I will be adding more information and links to my website in the next coming weeks to address real estate issues focusing on the 50+ consumer.. which includes myself.
Hard to believe I am as old as my parents were at one time.
ABR® Designation
Accredited Buyer Representative
Buying a home is one of the most important decisions you will make! You need the right person to help you find a home that suits your needs.
Why should you look for the ABR designation before looking for a home?
These three letters after a REALTOR's name tell you that you will be working with buyer representative who is committed to your best interests.
The ABR Designation is awarded by REBAC to those REALTORS who have met the specific educational and experiential criteria needed to provide the high level
quality service required by REBAC (Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council).
I attained this designation to better serve my clients and keep abreast of the latest marketing and business trends.
e-PRO Certification
I belong to the top 1% of nationwide realtors who have earned an “e-PRO” certification. An e-PRO is a Realtor who has successfully completed the e-PRO training program for real estate professionals. Endorsed by the National Association of REALTORS, the e-PRO course teaches professionals the nuts and bolts of working with real estate on-line: Web sites, email, on-line tools, and most of all, what today's consumer really wants.
