I started in real estate in 2000 and instantly developed a love for the business of real estate. Each transaction is incredibly unique. Just as each person who buys a home is an individual personality - each person has a certain way they want to do business. Each seller has a way they prefer to receive information and the way they want their home presented. Each buyer has a way they like to look at homes.
Our markets have become incredibly diverse between the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids areas. There are now so many different types of property and the two areas are very closely linked. More and more often, people desire to work in one community in the area and live in another. I belong to both the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids multiple listing services for this reason.
Accessing both MLS systems allows me to market effectively in all communities and to present the whole picture of homes available to buyers. Between the two MLS systems there are nearly 1000 real estate agents. By being able to access both systems I have access to the listings of all of those agents, plus am able to provide my listings through them to their buyers.
I joined Skogman Realty in 2009 in an exciting move to the corridor area, not just in service, as I had worked in corridor real estate for many years, but also as an expansion office to Skogman Realty's rich history of exceptional real estate service in the Cedar Rapids area. I am delighted to be part of such a customer-focused company and am extremely impressed by the number of positive comments I receive about the company and its leadership.
Skogman Realty provides me the resources I need to provide the very best marketing and service to my clients. We have an in-house closing company to ensure transactions are handled professionally and an in-house lending department to provide easy access to quality mortgage services. Our print and web advertising are simply second to none. Our homes appear on over 40 different websites and in two major weekly print publications.
In addition to the real estate side of the business, I am privileged to represent several builders if the home you seek is just not out there right now. You may be surprised to find how easy building a home can be!
Clients are always curious about what we are like outside of selling homes - I live with my husband Alan and two children, Kayla and Raleigh, outside of Solon. My oldest is now a student at Iowa (Go Hawks). We enjoy participating in sports and community groups such as Junior Achievement and United Way.
Feel free to call, text, or email any questions you might have, general or specific to a property and I would honored to assist you with your real estate needs!
