Your Realtor for Life. I was born and raised in Puyallup, WA.a small town just south of Seattle. I grew up fishing, clam-digging, camping, building forts in the woods, and riding my bike all over town. You know.all the typical girly things..LOL. I never pictured leaving the beautiful Pacific Northwest until the day I met and fell in love with a young soldier named Mark Evans who was stationed at Ft. Lewis Army Base. It didn't take me long to also fall in love with his home town of Tampa Bay! After finishing his service to our country in 1989, Mark and I relocated to Tampa to start our lives as man and wife. We have spent the past two decades raising two adorable red-headed boys and are very involved in this community. I spent many years working as a Preschool Director and Pre-K Teacher before becoming a Realtor. It was after going through the process of selling our home and purchasing a new one that I discovered a passion for the Real Estate business. I took a course in Home Staging and staged our personal residence before we put it on the Market. When it sold in one day, I was hooked! I became a Certified Home Stager and began my own Home Staging business while attending Real Estate School. Today, I focus solely on my career as a Realtor but home staging is a service I can offer my clients as well. In my down time, I relax by crocheting and I enjoy making my own greeting cards and cooking up a storm for my friends and family! Residing in beautiful Riverview since 2001, I have the advantage of extensive knowledge of not only Tampa but the surrounding areas as well. As part of Century 21 Beggins Enterprises, the #1 Selling Company in this area, I continue to attend training each weekday morning as it gives me the edge over my competition when it comes to being educated about the current market conditions, recent legal changes to contract laws, and the latest technology that allows me to remain "Smarter.Bolder.Faster!" On my team is also a special group of agents who specialize in specific areas in real estate from Commercial to agents who can help with the Latin Market, Century21Espanol.com. The decision to buy or sell a home is one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make! You need someone who is an expert in this field. One of the best reasons to hire me as your Realtor for life is my ability to represent you as a Single Agent. Almost all Real-Estate companies only allow their agents to represent them as Transactional Agents. The ability to be a Single Agent in your transaction can mean either more money in your pocket as a seller or less money out of your pocket as a buyer. I'd be happy to explain to you what most agents cannot explain about Single Agency. A "people-person" by nature, I look forward to working with you each step of the way!
