If you're looking to sell your home in Cedar Valley, look at your front door! What exactly do I mean by this, you ask?

Your front door is one of the only replaceable items that will get you a 100% return when you sell your home. First impressions are critical when selling - you have one opportunity to get online buyers to stop and take a closer look at your home. Your front door is representative of what the buyer can expect to see inside. If they see a worn-down front door, they are going to enter the home with a pessimistic attitude.

Spring is here in Cedar Valley, so there's no better time to start thinking about making your front door look spectacular. It's a great time to clean the porch and give your front door a bit of a touch up. Make the front door pop with a fresh coat of paint, some artwork, or potted plants. Just remember: the power of the front door cannot be overestimated!

Why work with us?

Born and raised in the Cedar Valley. I’ve grown to love this community. Grew up with loving, supportive & inspiring parents and was blessed to be raised with my two sisters. Spent Friday nights working in the concessions at local football games, Saturday mornings selling mini donuts at town fairs, cleaning & painting rental houses, and delivering papers. I was taught at a young age to appreciate hard work. Graduated from Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa with a degree in psychology. Took my first real job in Chicago in the Cook County Jail teaching employability skills to inmates. With numerous trips on the "L" to and from work, I read a book that my dad gave me called "The Magic of Thinking Big". After reading this book I knew the Cook County Jail wasn’t my true calling and made the decision to move back to the Cedar Valley and seek out an opportunity to make a mark on our community. Sales sounded exciting and selling homes sounded like a rewarding experience. I hit the ground running spending almost every night knocking on doors and handing out apples stating I was "Fresh in the Business, Hire me and start packing!" I am a huge proponent of marketing and truly believe in "Obsessively Working for You!" I was blessed to meet my amazing husband on a blind date arranged by a past client. Steve and I were married a few years later and I took my first vacation, our honeymoon where I didn’t call the office every single day to check in. I love married life and I love to sell real estate.
