Alice has had her real estate license since 1984 and she is a certified e-PRO Internet Professional REALTOR^®.  Presently only 3% of the over 1 million REALTORS^® in this country have received this certification.  An e-PRO is a REALTOR^® who has successfully completed the e-PRO training course endorsed by the National Association of REALTORS^®. It means she has been trained to (1) answer her email promptly and professionally (2) respect your on-line privacy and (3) offer home listings and other Internet tools to help you find, market or maintain your home.

The e-PRO course teaches professionals the nuts and bolts of working with real estate on-line: websites, e-mail, on-line tools, business networking, and most of all, what today's consumers really want. Also, she tries to stay up-to-date with new technology to help her clients and keep us organized.

We are tough negotiators for our clients, and we work very hard to help them achieve their goals.  Alice has an excellent eye for staging a home to show its' best and sell for the most money in the shortest time.  It's what she does best.  It's our responsibility to tell our clients what they need to hear in marketing their home.

Alice began her real estate career in Relocation where she managed an average of $5,000,000 worth of third-party properties.   She handled every aspect of them--from getting repairs done in order to get them ready to market, all the way to the closing table.  She left that job for a harder but more rewarding one--to be a mom.  After she took time off for our family, we moved to Austin, Texas.  Having lots of friends here has been a blessing.  It all helps us in understanding the dynamics of a cross-country move that some clients face.

FOR BUYERS:  We're matchmakers. We match people with houses.  We listen to our clients and search only for homes that meet their needs.  We treat clients as if they are good friends-- because they are.

FOR SELLERS: We listen closely to find out their needs.  Some people are in a hurry to move. Some have more flexibility. We compile information for their Comparative Market Analysis, known as a CMA.  We honestly report what the numbers tell us and then give our complete efforts in marketing their home.  Our goal is to get the highest price possible, in the shortest available time period, so they can go on with their purchase of a dream home.

We have two wonderful daughters.  Mendy graduated from the Chicago Art Institute and is now a Field Hockey Coach in Chicago.  Before that she was a teacher and Field Hockey Coach at The Greenhill School in Dallas.  Meaghan is our youngest daughter and is in South Korea teaching English to elementary school children in Hapcheon.  We have another family member: Penelope.  She is a brindle colored "Love Bug." That is a cross between a Boston Terrier and a Pug.  She is a full fledged, four-legged Diva.

If we can be of service to you or your family & friends please call on us.  We depend on people to tell others about the great job we've done for them.
