Your favorite about selling real estate in fargo moorhead?: On the Buyer Side I like searching for the right house – it’s kind of like solving a puzzle and its fun watching people’s faces when they walk in the home that’s exactly right for them.

One thing every homebuyer should keep in mind when searching for a home: Have fun and enjoy the process.

Your favorite charity in fargo is? and why: I have several and wouldn’t want to pick a favorite.

I got into Real Estate because I thought it would be fun to look at and show houses all day. I’ve stayed in Real Estate because, although I found out you don’t spend your time looking at and showing houses all day, it is a valuable, challenging, fulfilling, interesting, creative and rewarding profession. Most of all, it is never, never dull.
