Cape Coral,FL
Summary
Reliable, top-notch sales associate with outstanding customer service skills and relationship-building strengths. Dedicated to welcoming customers and providing comprehensive service. In-depth understanding of sales strategy and closing techniques.
Specialties include Marketing, Lead Generation, Contract Negotiating, Brand Building, and Listening!
Because, the ability to wear many hats, I professionally and exclusively represented, what would become, some of Omaha's Top Builders. I understand the importance of "Custom Home Building" within a budget that remains conducive to a family's current lifestyle. While also paying attention to the "Over-Time" changes that may occur.
My entrepreneurial spirit allowed me to create lead generating companies that assisted in selling, buying, or building client's homes. This allowed me the ability to become more valuable within my industry. But also, the ability to understand business start-up and function(s).
