Who Am I?

  I am born and raised in Pasadena, Ca. History is an important part of my life as I was raised in this town that has seen an incredible rebirth with a fantastic variety of architecture and diverse residents from the very creative to the very scientific, everyone in between and those that are both! Actors, athletes, entertainers, nuclear physicist, teachers, artists, engineers and more! I currently own two homes in Beautiful Altadena and that has given me first hand, personal knowledge of how it feels to buy and sell property.

 About 10 years ago I bought my first home. At the time I was a travel agent and loved coordinating vacations for others as well as myself! It was my Realtor, France Meindl that suggested I look into Real Estate. France has been a maven of Real Estate since the 70's with an impeccable reputation and incredible track record of successful transactions with thrilled clients! Not thinking anything could make me happier, I told her that I loved finding people their ideal vacations and her response, "Well how do you think it would feel to help people find their home?" It didn't take much thinking on my end. I've always loved Pasadena architecture. I've always loved seeing the way other people live. I love the residents of this city that I've grown up with and the new ones I am fortunate to meet everyday!! So it made sense. France became my Mentor and introduced me to Keller Williams Real Estate.

 Keller Williams is the stand alone Real Estate company when it comes to education. Their focus is on creating knowledgeable agents that are continually updated on contracts, market conditions and negotiation tactics is complex and stressed with great importance. It is a very supportive environment where everyone helps each other. I can not speak for every office but my office on South Fair Oaks is an incredibly supportive and familial environment. We all know it makes a difference to love what you do but when you couple that with loving where you do it, well it's an incredible combination.

 You probably know of more Keller Williams agents than you are aware of. The model of business is for each agent to create their own business, their own branding. Hence FairClaire.com!! We don't all have the same cookie cutter, branded signs so next time you drive around the neighborhood and see homes for sale take a close look, it may be a KW agent but with their own individual company branding & advertising!!

 So as a potential home buyer or seller what do I think is important for you to know?

Here's a quick list regarding KW and myself:
1. I will go the extra mile for my clients-your satisfaction is imperative
(Due to my diligence and ingenuity my last buyer clients received $8,000 instant equity in their home)
2. My marketing plan for listings is effective, bold and successful
(My last sold listing was on the market for 3 months with another agent-I did not change the price and received a full price offer within 16 days.)
3. Keller Williams Realty Ranked "Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among Home Buyer and Seller Segments" by J.D. Power and Associates -- Although there are many offices that make this happen, it is my goal with every transaction so uphold that standard!
4. Keller Williams Realty, Inc.  has been recognized as one of America’s Top 10 Workplaces, according to the first annual National Top Workplaces list compiled by Workplace Dynamics. 
I point this out because I believe someone happy in their environment will work harder and happier for you! 

I love what I do and I take my career incredibly seriously! If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask me! Home buying is the American Dream and I have seen the power of Real Estate enable generations to do better than the last! If you ever want to discuss my blog-feel free to!
