Experience

With nine years experience in the banking industry, Faith knows the value of paying attention to the details. Combined with her insight into the greater north Jefferson County area, she has become the local expert at putting together smooth, trouble-free transactions and lots of them!

Serving a mix of both buyers and sellers, Faith's sales have grossed more than $6 million each year since 2004, with a high of $10.9 million in 2005. A survey of her clients indicates that we will use Faith again on our next purchase of a home!

Faith has appeared in the Millennium Club (representing the top 20% of associates with RealtySouth based on gross income) for 5 consecutive years, and in the Gold Club (recognizing the top 25 associates based on transactions) on 2 occasions. And in 2006 she was the company-wide MortgageSouth Award Winner.

It has been said that it is better to give than to receive, and many of us have experienced the joy of giving.

During my leadership of the Northern Area Caravan, we hosted a charity Softball Showdown benefiting the Miracle League, an organization that builds playgrounds and ball fields accommodating special needs kids. Through that effort, not only did we come together as realtors and affiliates for a little networking and fun, we raised $3000 to benefit this fine charity what a thrill!

In addition, our Caravan also contributed to the BARs Support the Troops Campaign, and donated a record number of goods and food items to our men and women serving in the military. Jim Lawrence, 2007 BAR President, said regarding our efforts, Whatever your position on the war, the truth remains that these are our young men and women serving on foreign soil and they need our continued support.
