Renovation/Update – Have a plan. Get advice, especially if you plan to sell in a few years. The tile or counter top trending now may be unacceptable next year.
Here’s help with math! I love calculators and these are handy! You can find Affordability, Rent vs Buy, Mortgage, FHA, VA, not to mention help with renovation measurements and more.
My dogs thought I made fun of them by putting antlers and a red nose on them and posting their pictures…this is their way of getting back at me. Nothing is so ugly as a chihuahua with a huge ego determined to have retribution.
Allow me to introduce you to the phenomenal souls who help me market and sell your home efficiently, use marketing dollars wisely, and get from offer to contract to closing without becoming mired in quicksand. I appreciate them. It’s important that you have a snapshot of who’s behind the curtain!
First, there’s Ebby, my brokerage. I never met Ebby Halliday personally (I could weep over that) but I see her touch everywhere. Her legacy is a company of people with a strong work ethic, dedication and determination. They’re gracious and kind but unbelievably fierce. They live her motto “Get up, suit up, show up”. You won’t find better real estate professionals anywhere.
Becky Garrison
Becky Garrison is my Sales Manager and there’s no one more awesome on the planet! She truly makes managing Realtors look like there’s nothing to it when we all know it has to be like herding elephants across a mine field. Talk about positivity! No matter what’s going on she makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. And I think, with her support, I can.
Ebby’s Flower Mound office
I’m blessed to have a team of brilliant professionals monitoring my sales and listings, creating checklists, dotting each i and crossing every t. They help me navigate rules, regulations, document changes and so many other things. Pat, Lauren, Jane, Debbie, I’m amazed by your focus, determination and customer service savvy.
There’s Mitzy, my go-to when something seems clear as mud. Mitzy is powerful. She shreds the mountains I encounter to mole hills with just a few words. Another set of eyes is crucial for many contracts and I’m never so brilliant that I don’t benefit from Mitzy’s point of view.
This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg. I could tell you about veteran agents like Keith with his laid back manner – it’s deceptive. Or Donna, who has the softest heart on the planet. There’s Jeannie (cramming 26 hours into a 24 hour day), Bill (quietly running the show on so many community projects), Jack (a soft-spoken bulldog), and so many more, and that’s just our Flower Mound office!
Over 1800 agents wear the Ebby nametag. We’re family. We work hard to follow in Ebby’s footsteps and remember her admonition: Do something for someone every day. I’m so excited that I can provide ‘Ebby’ service to my clients. It’s a simple matter of helping people, and along the way, I sell real estate! Thank you, Ebby.
