• With over 8 years experience in residential real estate as a Broker Associate and Accredited Buyer Representative, please allow me to put my knowledge, expertise, and training to work for you.  My background includes a degree in Finance (B.S., Indiana University); six years of experience in Commercial and Private banking; and two years as a small business owner.  I have solid and proven technical skills.
  
  
• I am a lifetime resident of St. Joseph County, having lived in South Bend, Mishawaka, and Granger.  Additionally, my ownership of Investment Properties provides further insight into the many details of real estate transactions.  Remember, whether you are buying or selling, "Expect, and receive, the BEST from your Realtor!"
  
   
• SELLERS:  Marketing a home today for the best price in the shortest time requires a sophisticated approach.  That is why we have a system to maximize the exposure of your home.  We reach home buyers wherever they are...at the grocery store...on their home computer... shopping at the mall or just watching TV.  Cressy and Everett Real Estate is the ONLY local real estate company to offer this combination of marketing and media exposure to EVERY home seller through our exclusive HOME MARKETING UPGRADE SYSTEM.

• BUYERS:  For your representation in transactions, I have earned The Accredited Buyer Representative ("ABR") designation.  It is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation.  This coveted designation is awarded by the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council (REBAC), an affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS, to real estate practitioners who meet the specified educational and practical experience criteria.  For helpful information, please see the link below.
