OFFERINGS & OBSERVATIONS

EMBRACE THE ADVENTURE OF BUYING

My goal as your realtor is to help in any way that I can. We’ll start by exploring the market and your financing options. Finding the right home can be a challenge, but it is an exciting adventure, and I enjoy being a part of the process.

UNDERSTAND YOUR CHOICES

As you begin to review your options, you may find that renting is your best choice. It may become apparent that the home you currently own is where you want to be. Or you may discover a new home that is just right for you, and be ready to buy. Regardless, you’ll have the chance to learn about yourself and the way you want to live.

IF YOU’RE THINKGING ABOUT SELLING

If you are interested in listing a home for sale, it is my pleasure to offer a free competitive market analysis that will help you determine the market value of your home.

DON’T FORGET CREATIVITY

My avocations of musical performance, ceramics, pastel painting, and writing poetry, have helped me to develop my creative side. My creativity is one of the things that informs my real estate interactions. As I see it, buying and selling homes is a process that requires critical thinking. But it has also been my experience that questions are more easily answered when you bring your creativity to the table.

THIS PLACE IS FULL OF CHARM

I've lived in the Iowa City area all of my life, and I love this community! It is my honor to help you find a home in this area, and it is my privilege to help with any real estate needs you might have.
