Cari's experience

I had my first taste of home marketing in college, when I became an apartment leasing agent. Co-editing a weekly newspaper followed as a great place to learn about effective advertising. After moving to Colorado Springs in 1992, I became one of the first professional organizers in the area. In 1998-1999, I added new home sales and mortgage originating to my resume. Finding my niche in the residential sales field, I obtained my real estate license in 2000. Since then, I have added to the skills that benefit my clients by completing numerous continuing education classes. By presenting a Staged product - the listed house - with carefully designed marketing materials, I position clients to realize the maximum profit possible from what is likely their biggest monetary investment. After the move, I assist my clients with creating a comfortable, enjoyable new home.
