Maureen’s expertise lies in her knowledge of the market; her understanding of each community and its lifestyle opportunities allows her to concisely match areas to the wants and needs of the buyer. Beginning a new life in Florida can be exciting and daunting at the same time, however, Maureen provides expert guidance from the beginning to the end of the transaction and beyond as she becomes the go-to resource... more. for “everything” now and in the future.
On the BUYER SIDE – Today’s market is competitive. If necessary, she will work with the best agents within Michael Saunders & Company in 15 different office locations. This is in pursuit of the perfect property for the buyer. Maureen works in the advisory position, in the beginning, listening and honing in on criteria and location. If it is in the best interest of the buyer she then brings on board the most qualified and knowledgeable agent in that specific area. Someone who has their “ear” to the ground with inventory coming to market and/or new construction in that area. This is a win-win for the buyer. A successful real estate purchase in this area needs agents that are determined and tenacious.
“Hi Maureen. Just wanted to say thank you! We bought a home in Palmer Ranch. We just moved in and are very happy! The agent you set us up with was a FANTASTIC Realtor®! Thank you so much!” – P. Paterson
On the SELLER SIDE – The market is changing every day. We cannot look at the national averages and think it is our “local market.” A seller has to be informed not only of what happened last month but watching it on a daily basis. I am not going to sell out the seller just to make a sale, and I will be that agent to advise all the way. My references are available on request.
