The big question.... 

What can I do for you that is different than any other Realtor or Real Estate Broker?  The answer is Personal Service.                            

I will work for you, at your comfort level, not pressuring you to look at, or buy homes that you are not interested in.  Buyers, I will not entice you to overspend and be house poor. Sellers, you always choose your selling price.  I will inform you of the current market and the trends that I see.  I never make choices for you.  I inform. All decisions are yours to make.  I am only an extension of you, doing as you instruct.   I will call you, text you or email you on a time schedule that you would prefer. Frequently if you desire; or not, depending on your requests. I will be working for you; and with you, doing my very best at all times.

My name is Jennifer Louden and I really enjoy helping you.
