When it comes to nicknames, "Christmas Light Realtor" may sound a bit unconventional, but it's actually the perfect description of the type of Realtor I truly am. Every year I release a list of the "best" area Christmas lights and it has become a hit with clients and community members. Why? Because they know my familiarity with the Manhattan community and its residents, it stands to reason I would know which homeowners go all in with their light displays.
I've spent my lifetime learning the ins and outs of Manhattan, KS. Born and raised in rural Clay County, I am a proud graduate of Kansas State University and have lived in Manhattan ever since. Since becoming a licensed Realtor in 2012, I have been laser-focused on building a foundation of proactive communication, risk management, consistency and trust. I'm a firm believer in treating my clients like the unique individuals they are, always considering their equally unique needs.
Buying a home, whether your first or your 10th, can be simultaneously stressful and exciting. I act as equal parts advisor, mediator and friend, smoothing the way by bringing levity to a sometimes-challenging process while inspiring confidence. I'm the Realtor who will reassure you with a joke during a home showing then immediately point out an area to note for a future inspection. It's amazing how far a calm, friendly presence can go in creating a positive experience.
When you work with me as your Realtor, you can be certain I will always be honest, transparent and on your side. My customized marketing plans incorporate my expertise in the home market with a visual analysis of recent, comprehensive sales data and my deep understanding of the community. Combined with traditional and digital marketing mediums, my listings sell 24 days faster and my sellers negotiate a 1% higher sales price than competitors. As a buyer's agent, my sharp negotiating strategies have allowed buyer-clients to pay 1% less than the average buyer.
My credentials are no joke, either. In 2018, I became partner at my brokerage, Coldwell Banker Real Estate Advisors. Thanks to my wonderful clients, I'm proud to have become one of the Top Realtors in the Manhattan market, and rank among the top 3% nationwide and 6% worldwide.
It's safe to say I'm busy, and I wouldn't have it any other way. When I'm not helping my clients achieve their dreams, you can find me planning our next home remodeling project-one of my favorite hobbies-or spending time with my husband and daughter-two of my favorite people. Otherwise, I might be catching a K-State game, relaxing on our deck or on a bike ride. The Manhattan community means so much to me, and I love giving back by being deeply involved in events and projects that impact our neighborhoods and quality of life.
