I moved to the Charleston area from Lake in the Hills Illinois ( a Chicago suburb) in April 2017. My husband received a job offer in Charleston. We rented for a few months in North Charleston and bought our home in September 2017. Perfect timing since that time our home has appreciated at least 35%!
I live in Summerville with my husband Tim three cats and one dog. I found our house on Facebook! The owner was holding an open house. We saw the pond view from the yard and the extra parking pad and said “SOLD”
I took real estate classes shortly after I moved here and passed the real estate exam by October 2017. I’ve heard it’s not easy to pass but I went in with the attitude that I would only take the test once! It probably helped that I had 13+ years of mortgage servicing experience and 2+ years of appraisal management experience. Those were two chapters of the classes I already had down. My experiences selling our home in Illinois and buying one in Summerville taught me things as well.
Since becoming licensed I have utilized all the available resources to learn as much as possible about real estate along with my extensive customer service background to offer the best service I can to my clients. Every two years we are required to complete continuing education which I usually complete a year ahead of the renewal. I attend as many new construction builders events as I can to keep up with any new developments in the Charleston area. I also keep informed of neighborhood events through local Facebook groups.
The real estate market has changed significantly in the past few years so my career is always interesting.
If you are thinking about buying, selling or renting I’d love to show you what I and Coldwell Banker Realty can offer to make the process easier!
