SERVICE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
As a real estate professional, I embody enthusiasm, passion, attention to detail, and commitment when interacting with my clients throughout the process of selling or purchasing a home. My goal is to become your preferred full-service REALTOR® of choice .
As a local expert, with sales reaching $10 million last year alone, I enjoy working with first-time homebuyers as much as assisting you with the sale of your luxury home. Although technology has quickly become a centerpiece of the real estate world, it is not the ‘anchor’ that holds it all together. This experience is about ‘YOU’ and how I can assist you in reaching your goal of selling or purchasing your new home.
It is important to me to create a personal relationship, and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to exceed your expectations and present you with this preview of my services. I cannot wait to get to know you a little better along the way.
- Michele Van Zandycke
