Realtor®- Agent/Partner - Keller Williams Arizona Realty
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my site and taking this opportunity to learn about me and how I may serve your real estate needs.
Thought of as an author, speaker and radio host, I am most often recognized as the widow of radio commentator and personal development legend, Earl Nightingale; But there's more . . .
For more than a decade, I enjoyed a career as Real Estate Broker, while living on the Gulf Coast of Florida. My early years in Real Estate were exciting times working mostly with Franchise companies and finding suitable locations for them to build their restaurants. Later, working with developers selling lovely condominiums along the beach was so rewarding that making money was just the frosting on the cake. But the most rewarding years were those when I sold residential, up‐scale, homes. Those moments when, together, we, my customers and I, discovered the dream homes they had been searching for. What an honor to be part of such an important event in their lives.
Then, while attending an early Saturday morning sales meeting, I met Earl Nightingale. It was love at first‐sight and although I lived in Florida and he in California, it was only a few short months before we married and I moved to California to begin my new life.
Time passed swiftly and in 1989 Earl passed away leaving me to carry on the work that he began so many years before.
One of our unfinished goals was to re‐create a program specifically for Realtors® and while it’s taken me a while to finish it, my labor of love is now a reality and available at last.
It was while I was busy working on “Earl Nightingale’ Keys To Success In Real Estate” that I was constantly reminded of my years in sales and I found myself wishing I had had this program to listen to back then. I suppose you can say I became a believer or student of my own program when I realized that NOW, more than any time in our history, caring Realtors® are desperately needed, and I, having extensive experience in real estate, as well as having recently been one of the many millions of folks who found themselves faced with losing their homes in a short‐sale, realized that I am well qualified to understand the challenges that so many homeowners are faced with today and believed I had much to offer the buyers and sellers in the Valley of the Sun. I concluded that it was time to return to a career in real estate.
So, off to school I went and now, I am so pleased to once again be back in Real Estate. This time, as a registered, Arizona Realtor®.
Long ago and far away, when I was a Broker I had my own office, but now I had to find the right place, the right team, the right fit. There were so many companies to choose from and each time I went to interview them, I would enter the lobby as any of my future clients might do, being very observant of my surroundings, and those with whom I came in contact. I knew I would be treated just as my future clients would be treated, and this was important to me.
In addition, one of the most valuable assets I have is the legacy of the Nightingale name and it’s value as a result of the integrity of Earl’ life and his work –hanging my license with a company with only the highest respect was an important aspect of my search and ultimate decision, and while the reputation of the company was important to me, those individuals with whom I would be teamed, was equally important.
Ultimately, I made my choice to team with Keller Williams Arizona Realty because I feel their mission statement is in harmony with the ideals that Earl and I value most:
Win‐Win –or no deal
Integrity –do the right thing
Commitment –in all things
Communication –seek first to understand
Creativity –ideas before results
Customers –always come first
Teamwork –together everyone achieves more
Trust –starts with honesty
Success –results through people
