About Lydia

Business Philosophy I am passionate about integrity, commitment and finding out what you need! Open, honest communication combined with information based on facts is what I strive for. Each Client is very important to me and you should be treated "special". One of the things I value most, is being responsive. In today's hurry up world, we often forget to get back to people in a timely manner. This is one of my top priorities and it will avoid misunderstandings. If there is a misunderstanding or error, I will work to fix it as quickly as possible, without blame ,but rather through finding solutions.Listening to your needs and wants is key for us to successfully find, or sell your home! In a big decision such as buying or selling a home, it is important that we have an atmosphere of trust . I will look for ways to earn that trust, by communicating often in the manner you most prefer and answering your concerns as much as possible. Also following up and giving you status on any changes is another key element. In the end, I want you to love the way Iwork, before, during and after Escrow. Referrals are my life-line and if you are pleased with my results ,than it would mean everything to gain a personal referral from you!
