When not working, my husband and I spend much of our free time attending kids' activities or I often attend volunteer meetings and events. Over the years our children have enjoyed various sports including such as track, cross country, golf, and basketball. It is surprising how many real estate conversations can occur in the stands or while volunteering! I enjoy volunteering for school and community groups. This a good way for me to give back and have fun doing it, whether it means volunteering at an Athletic Event, raising funds for children in need, assisting with the YMCA Annual campaign or helping coordinate details for Operation Christmas which provides over 550 vouchers for kids' Christmas gifts.

I enjoy using my marketing and retail background to help stage your home. I take pride in ensuring my clients' homes standout among the competition. I have some staging items you are welcome to use. I offer layout, color and condition suggestions all as part of my service as your listing agent. I can also assist with coordinating repairs that may need to be done. I know reputable contractors who I am happy to connect you with if needed. Many of my past clients were pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to get their home sold. In a few cases, we were even able to sell a home before it went on the market. It takes some "thinking outside the box", but I enjoy the challenge.

Are you new to town? I would be glad to assist you with your questions, as I know it can be overwhelming. Having lived here most of my life, I can answer most questions or find someone who can assist you. We have wonderful schools and excellent parks and recreation programs. Have you seen the development on the north edge of town? Check out the beautiful medical facilities at Mercy Clinic, Indianola Specialty Clinic, Unity Point, Indianola Family Dentistry, Country Inn & Suites and more are being built.

There is also a new Retirement Center: Vintage Hills. The community was definitely excited to welcome the new Y that opened in 2013. I would be happy to connect you to the areas that interest you. Or maybe you are looking for a hair salon or someone to paint your dining room. Please know my services are not limited to assisting you with your home. I pride myself on staying connected with my clients and assisting them as questions arise anytime.
