I’ve always wanted to help people, even when I was a little girl I wanted to take care of my sister and the kids in the neighborhood. Being a caretaker and nurturer is something that is a part of who I am. I always thought I’d end up being a nurse and even worked in a doctors office for a long time.”
When I saw what was happening to homeowners my heart dropped. Families, entire neighborhoods were being destroyed all around me. I felt like many of these homeowners had been taken advantage of and that just angered me. I could see them all, lost and confused, parents were unsure what to tell their kids and felt like they couldn’t even look their friends and family in the eye!”
The thought that this was happening to people everywhere was just terrible to me. I made a decision that I would do whatever I could to help these homeowners and their families. I made a commitment to be their advocate. I worked very hard to learn every aspect of the business. I’ve spent the past 6 years focusing on becoming the best short sale expert in the region and am proud of the track record and reputation that I’ve acquired along the way.
What I’m most proud of however are all the people that I’ve been able to help. It seemed to me that these homeowners who were in distress, more than anything needed somebody that would take them by the hand through the entire process – someone that had the patience and ability to explain exactly what needed to be done – someone to guide them. A calm and steady hand that can ease their fears so they don’t feel so lost and alone.
I pour myself into every case and I see the person behind each file as someone deserving of a second chance to get things right – to get their lives back together. Seeing the relief a homeowner has after working with me makes all the hard work worth it. What could be better than to help a family in need? This is my way of helping families regain their footing and be able to hold their head up high. “This has become my life’s mission.”
