I have 20 years of experience working with clients and serving the Greater Lansing Area. I took an early retirement from State Employment, and I wanted to be a free agent, where I could have a very flexible schedule. My late father had been a Realtor and I decided it would be a great second career. I found that I deal with a lot of \342\200\234baby boomers\342\200\235 and older folks who need to downsize. So, I have my SRES designation, which stands for Seniors Real Estate Specialist. I also have the distinction of selling Churches for the last 10 years, at least six, so I learned how to market those properties. I feel that God has sent many vulnerable people to me who need an advocate to watch out for them. I often look for ways to make a moving experience less stressful for people who need the extra attention. A good Realtor who knows the business must be the steady calm when storms roll in. Buyers often need reassuring explanations of the buying process; sellers must deal with the emotions of letting go. In the end, it's all about customer service.
