Here are some of the accomplishments with the courses I take to benefit me and my Clients: Military Relocation Professional (MRP) Certification Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) Designation Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR®) Certification New Home Co-Broker Certification Bachelors Degree in Management, University of Phoenix MBA, University of Phoenix During my spare time I enjoy working out, bike riding (tandem with my dog behind), hiking local mountains, doing crafts, gardening and of course spending time with family and friends. When you're ready to start looking for your first home there's no reason to do this alone. What you need is someone to help you with the process and go to bat for you. I understand this can be one of the biggest investment or decision of your life and I'm here to devote my time and expertise to help.
