As an Associate Broker in WV and Salesperson in Ohio, I am a proud member of Coldwell Banker/Select Properties, having been one of the two original owners of Select Properties Realty. Please add me to your contacts as “Realtor Rita” with a name like Sjostedt I like to keep it simple. I was born and raised in Wood County, WV. I have three grown sons and grandchildren that I love spending time with. In my down time I enjoy reading, pickle ball, and walking. Attention home sellers: Let me help you make the best first impression. I bring a keen eye for detail when assessing your home. I will provide an honest evaluation to help you prepare for successful listings. Nobody beats our marketing lead by Max Brown, a professional photographer who takes aerial pictures and develops 360o virtual tours of your home. These virtual tours allow buyers to step inside and seamlessly navigate through every room, viewing the property from every angle with hundreds of high-resolution photographs. It’s like being there in person, exploring every detail of your home from the comfort of their own living room. This is the first step to getting feet in the door. Our team’s expertise in digital marketing ensures your home receives the attention it deserves. Trust us to make every moment count. Remember, “MARKETING MATTERS” Looking for a successful real estate transaction from beginning to end? Look no further. Here are a few reasons why you should hire me. Customer service is often overlooked. I am quick to respond, ensuring you never feel left in the dark. I am customer service-driven and dedicated, reliable, and motivated to exceed your expectations at every turn. Your satisfaction is my top priority.
