You decide that because of the current market, you would like me to help you sell your home. AWESOME! We sit down, talk about pricing, marketing, showing schedule, and then is dawns on you
What about the vacation we planned?
Please, please, pretty please, let me know and the entire real estate team know WELL IN ADVANCE.
Your real estate team is as follows: your realtor (me), title company, appraiser, surveyor, mortgage company/ your bank, residential service contract rep, etc.
Why?
Well, your home is going to be under contract. You may be thinking, “Well, all of my work is done.” However, there could still be the following:
- Negotiations
- Amendments (changes) to the contract
- Addendums (additions) to the contract
- Questions that need answered
- Annnnnnd… Closing Documents you need to sign.
Please inform the real estate team the following, again, WELL IN ADVANCE
- Where you will be traveling to?
- How long will you be there?
- Are you traveling with all parties who are on the deed?
- Do you have a power of attorney?
- Will you have access to internet, printer, scanner, etc.
- Will you have access to your cellphone and/or a landline?
- Have you filled out all documents needed prior to going on vacation?
- ....and answer all real estate team questions that have been asked of you PRIOR to departure.
Is it still possible to close and fund, yes; if, and only if, you inform everyone well in advance. We want you to go on the vacation! We want you to create memories! However, we want you to close and fund on your home. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE in Texas real estate.

“Reliable and Ready” REALTOR® since 2016. I was born in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, but was raised in Texas since 1997. When I found out we were moving to Plano, Texas, I remember looking forward to riding a horse to school and a brand-new pair of cowboy boots! Growing up in Plano prepared me to be competitive, quick, and to have a strong work ethic.
I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. Axe’em Jacks! That is where my love for East Texas began. The nature, warm smiles, football games, and community values can't be beat! I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I was a middle school math teacher in Tyler, Texas. I met my husband, Travis, in Sunday school, and we have been married since September 2016.
I love being a REALTOR® in East Texas! Relationships are genuine, the area is beautiful, and the market is rockin’! I am an involved REALTOR® to better the community. Some of the organizations I am involved with are: The Professional Development Committee, Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee, and Tyler Educational Networking Group. Some awards I have won were “The Hustle Award” in 2016, and “Rookie of the Year” in 2017.
When I am not working with my clients, I like to spend quality time with my friends and family doing the following: running, target practice, read and participate in book club, and playing with my dachshund Greta.
