Amy believes one of the most rewarding parts of moving a transaction from contract to close is Problem Solving. “No two transactions are ever the same – ever. There’s no secret sauce to move a contract to close, the secret is hard work combined with the best, most strategic and polished problem solving skills. I once had a transaction that was falling apart on the day of closing because the house was offered fully furnished, and on the walk-thru a chair from the expensive dining set was missing. My Buyer was not going to close, and wanted that unique chair with that unique set – rightfully so – he deserved it – he contracted for it. I went to work – and found a solution (not that exact chair) – so it was a negotiation; but the Buyer, in the end was extremely happy, and still lives in and loves that house. So, I say, every transaction has a “missing chair”.”
Consistently ranked as one of the top agents in the Siesta Key and Sarasota area, Amy continues to fine tune and strengthen her skills with every transaction. “When I stop learning and growing in this industry, it will be time for me to move to the next thing in my life. I am so super fortunate to surround myself with the best of the best in all aspects of our industry. From the best Board Certified Real Estate Attorneys, to the best Lenders, the best Insurance Agents, the best Inspectors, the best Home Stager, the best Designers and Photographers.” It’s taken Amy 12 years to establish her very short list of trusted advisors and team members – but each is an integral part of moving the transaction through from contract to close.
“This is not an easy industry – not at all. The statistics are staggering, but the last time I checked, over 98% of new real estate agents don’t make it past year 1. Staggering. There’s a reason – it is NOT easy. I have the upmost respect for my colleagues in the industry – those of us fortunate enough to make a living in this ever changing world of real estate work extremely hard – but it’s so rewarding and so worth it! Seeing the faces of our happy clients is priceless!”
