An added bonus is her experience in interior design, home staging, and home building, which provides her with a well-trained background in project management. Feel free to ask her about renovation estimates, as she has developed exclusive relationships with competitively priced subcontractors.
Dedication to staying educated and market savvy, professionalism, resourcefulness, an approachable demeanor, prioritizing her clients' needs and putting them at ease: Vicki has grown her business network as a trusted advisor and consultant to repeat clients and referrals on these principles. She conducts herself with the utmost integrity, putting client trust and confidentiality above all else. Her natural commitment to her clients is evident in their long-lasting relationships.
