Buyers
Has worked the entire spectrum of residential real estate in central Indiana: $50,000 to $500,000 properties, first-time buyers to empty nesters buying their 5th house, condos to suburban homes & rural acreages; "I want to make sure my buyers are well-informed and believe that the property they are buying is the best one for them that's available on the market today."

Sellers
"Experience has shown me that sellers who prepare their home before listing get a faster sale and a higher price." Has attended classes on "staging" & has numerous handouts & DVDs to help sellers understand that $1,000 (& some time) invested in preparation can often bring $5,000 more from a buyer; If sellers are leaving town while their home is still on the market, Jeri will complete a Vacant Listing Checklist weekly to make sure the home does not appear neglected.

General
Jeri has 25+ years of real estate experiences that enable her to know what works - and to think "outside the box" for solutions that lead to closings.
