I relocated to Ocean Pines, MD in 2000 from Pasadena, Maryland with my husband Doug after spending countless summers in Ocean City, Maryland. It was one of the best decisions we ever made. Being near the ocean, beach, boating, fishing and all the great activities the shore lifestyle has to offer is “After All What It’s All About”.
I became a REALTOR® in 2001 and then received my Associate Broker’s license in 2008 to become the Sales Manager of Hileman Real Estate in Ocean Pines. I have helped my clients and sales associates through a variety of economic situations and changes in the Ocean City housing market – from housing booms, real estate declines and market adjustments.
Before becoming a REALTOR®, I worked for a major financial institution for 20 years and held many positions from customer service, banking center manager, sales manager to project manager. This past experience gives me a thorough understanding of the lending and financial processes. I provide my clients and associates with the highest level of customer service to make the real estate transaction as smooth as possible from the initial search through settlement.
Since getting into the real estate business, I have earned her Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), At Home With Diversity (AHWD), Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designations, Broker Price Opinion Resource (BPOR) and Performance Management Network (PMN) through additional education and training courses. I quickly learned that establishing a solid network of industry professionals was going to help serve my clients best. I joined the National Women’s Council of REALTORS® in 2001 which connects me her with more than 16,000 real estate professionals across the country. WCR is the twelfth largest women’s organization in the country as well. After becoming involved on a local level, I found that it helped me get to know other area REALTORS® on a more personal level, which helps make transactions go smoother. Women’s Council is all about developing leaders and I have taken advantage of what they had to offer by becoming a local chapter officer since 2003. I was the 2012/2013 Governor for the Maryland State Chapter, served on the local Coastal Association of REALTORS® as a Board of Director, and have served on both State and National Association of REALTORS® Committees. “Being involved in these organizations allows me to grow both personally and professionally.” In August of 2012, Sharon was individually awarded the 2012 REALTOR® of the Year Award from the Coastal Association of REALTORS® for her involvement in the real estate industry. I am especially proud of the receiving the 2011 Large State Chapter of the Year Award for Chapter Excellence from the National Women’s Council of REALTORS® for chapters across the country during her term as State Chapter President.
I have built my business through referrals from friends and past clients based on my reputation. I hope to earn your trust as well.
