Personal Life | Kentucky Y'all

I grew up riding my Big Wheel in the middle of the road and cliff diving into Lake Cumberland. I am a wife to a wizard, a mom to a gentle giant, and the daughter of a spunky woman who taught me how to drive a stick shift. I am an artist, a baker, a road tripper, and just might spontaneously break out into song.

Work History | Soft-Skill Building

I learned many valuable lessons in 20 years of working in restaurants. From the hostess stand to the general manager's office, I learned how to prioritize tasks, diffuse tough situations, time management, and rapid problem solving. Later, in HR I learned the importance of listening first before being heard. And ten years in the public school system from the classroom to the district office, I understood the value of solid data, empathy for people whose lives were much different than my own, and walked the fine line between being tenacious and sensible at the same time.

Professional Philosophy | Not a Salesman, a Salesfriend

My promises to you:
1. You will never receive spam emails, texts, or phone calls from me. I don't like getting them and I will never send them.
2. You will not be put on a generic search drip only to receive another email with the same information from me as you can get from Zillow. The client experience you get from me is hand selected properties based on your exact wants and needs with all background information available plus maybe some that wasn't so readily available. 3. I will never put my needs above yours, ever. It should be a given considering it is in our Code of Ethics, but you can rest assured that my actions and words have you in mind first.

Boutique Brokerage | Wide Service Area

Commonwealth Real Estate Professionals is a locally owned small business with owner/broker/builder Ed Sarfo in the broker's seat. Headquarters are in Lexington, Fayette County, but my service area is well beyond representing both buyers and sellers from Cynthiana to Whitley City and Bowling Green to Louisa. If you are relocating to the Bluegrass State and want one agent that WILL travel to various counties to tour properties with you using live video, then you are in the right place. I have sold in 30 of Kentucky's 120 counties with no plans to slow my roll.

A little unconventional, a whole lot flexible

If you’ve been watching ‘Million Dollar Listing’ or ‘Shahs of Sunset’ and have that image of a real estate agent in your mind – my thick Kentucky accent, occasional use of swear words, and quirky sense of humor will nip that right in the bud. I don’t own a pant suit or a briefcase (more of a blue jeans and backpack kind of girl), and my clients’ interests and goals come before my own. I’m not here to work for free, and shouldn’t be asked to, but there’s more than one way to butter a biscuit when it’s dry.

Need the proceeds from this sale to buy your next property? Let’s talk about a flexible commission structure that lets you keep some of the money that would have been used marketing your property.

Do you get the willies just thinking about hiring the wrong agent for the job and being stuck with them for three to six months? It doesn’t have to be that way. Ever heard of a Performance Based Contract? Most haven’t.

Let’s meet, talk, shake hands, and let’s make a deal happen.
