Work Experience:

Realtor, Reno, Nevada:  Better Homes and Gardens (September 2010-current position)

Successfully working with home buyers and sellers to facilitate the purchase or sale of their home.  As a seller’s agent, I am a marketing expert in the local community by using a well developed marketing plan.  My home marketing plan entails virtual tours, thorough exposure to the online resources and websites, open houses, good representation on the MLS, promotion with direct mailings, email flyers to local agents and brokers, and multiple quality photos of the home.  Representing the seller, I negotiate the best terms possible for my clients.  I work with the buyer’s lenders, home inspectors, and title company to ensure a flawless and easy sale.  In a short sale situation, I work with the bank negotiators to obtain a short sale approval that is acceptable with the sellers.  As a buyers agent, I help locate a property for purchase by communicating with the buyers and understanding their home needs.  I work with the lenders to make sure the buyer’s understand what is required of them and that they are comfortable with the purchase price.  I coordinate appointments with the buyers to show them homes and act as a liaison between all parties involved.

Realtor, Reno, Nevada: Prudential Nevada Realty (August 2004-September 2010)

A full time realtor working with buyers and sellers in the Reno/Sparks area.  During this time I gained and utilized many skills involving the home selling and purchasing process.  These skills involved communicating with clients, attention to details, excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills, and understanding client’s needs and building excellent rapport with all clients and customers.  My client follow through allowed me to be one of the top realtors in this area.  I also maintained the relationships I made by keeping in touch with my clients over the years.  I also did relocations and was requested by potential buyers and sellers who were relocating.

Teacher:  Reno, Nevada:  Washoe County School District (1994-2004)

A career as a teacher in grades K,2,3,4,7^th grade English, and Special Education.  These positions prepared me for many of the skills required as a realtor such as time management, paperwork, and working with people.  I gained a great desire to have attention to detail.  It also allowed me to be an expert in the area as I taught at many of the local schools.
