“I take pride in saying that I personally take care of every detail involved in every transaction. My clients know that I go the extra mile for them and work to make the experience smooth and successful.” -Dee
Dee began her real estate career in Cherry Creek with Coldwell Banker, and was one of the top producers within the first six months. Today, as owner of Paragon Realty Sales, LLC, she works with individuals, lenders and agents to effectively manage each transaction from start to successful finish.
Dee says she works to add value to the lives of every individual, whether she serves them as a realtor or a friend.
“My philosophy in this business is to make every client feel as important as the other. It doesn't matter what price tag is on the home; the buyer is always most important, and it's my job to let them know that I can help them feel comfortable making one of the most important purchases of their life!”
That philosophy has earned her the praise of Colorado clients, including Lt. Shellie Salser who worked with Dee on the sale her property and purchase of a new home.
“Her knowledge of the real estate market, property values, and overall processes is excellent,” said Shellie. “She was able to assess our home very quickly and provide suggestions on upkeep and repairs that would bring us top dollar in our sale. Our home sold in a matter of hours for slightly above her recommended listing price. When we purchased our new home, she worked directly with the seller’s agent and my lender to ensure the process went as smooth as possible and never wavered in her commitment to protect us as clients. Dee’s professionalism is exceptional and her compassion is genuine”.
