About Me

ABOUT:

Simply said, I am a Dreamcatcher – for YOU. Whether you want to buy or sell, real estate is all about YOU and your goals and what YOU want to improve by buying or selling real estate.

However, since this is an About Me page...

My tagline is "Change Your View."
Take it literally or figuratively—both work.
My personal business website is www.ChangeYourView.net
It’s promoted on my car, in mailouts, in advertising, on radio and online. I also have two other websites: www.greenwoodtlc.com & www.kristenandersen.topseller.net. I own several online domain names to drive traffic to my sites. I have been in the biz for several years and am passionate about helping people catch their dreams.

I am happy to patiently work with Buyers and I am an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR). I am also Relocation-certified to work with companies helping employees move here or away. I work primarily in Greenwood, on Lake Greenwood, Abbeville, Hodges, Ware Shoals, Waterloo, Cross Hill, Ninety Six, Chappels and Saluda- all lovely areas in the upper Piedmont area (NW) of Upstate South Carolina.

For Sellers, I offer “Extreme Marketing,” so named because it goes way beyond the 3 “P”s of passive marketing (put it on MLS, put up a sign, put on a lockbox). I am an internet savvy certified E-PRO and know that strong online exposure is crucial in today’s market. You can benefit from my extensive databases of local and out-of area potential buyers for direct mail campaigns, and my ever-growing connections to out-of-area/out-of-state real estate agents who may refer your buyer.

Strong local business networking and community involvement make positive contributions towards achieving my clients’ goals so I am actively involved in several organizations and always networking on your behalf--because you never know who-knows-who & where your Buyer is going to come from.

BACKGROUND

I graduated from Fordham University, NYC, (a long time ago) with a BA in Communications. Before I "found" real estate, I was Director of Corp. Communications for a global public maritime firm that operated large fleets of tugboats, tankers, and offshore oil rig support vessels. I joined this company following its emergence from Chapter 11 to effect its rebranding; improve image/reputation to attract customers and retain/attract employees. This was primarily a 4-year in-the-office job, but I learned a great deal about "the big picture" and how to implement systems & projects that get results. Before that position, I had an incredible job for 13 yrs as Public Relations Manager at a major seaport, working with Cruise, Cargo and Navy. I set up educational outreach programs with the Navy and NATO, honed my creative skills with dozens of award-wining marketing projects and programs, enjoyed celebrity cruise events, promoted manatee and environmental awareness and coordinated media fly-outs to aircraft carriers (yes, I am a Tailhooker). I learned all about the importance of the "people factor," the value of networking, the impact of marketing tools, and the crucial necessity for attention to detail. Before that, I was Editor of a weekly newspaper where I learned that “time is of the essence” (deadlines) and to work really hard for very little money and like it (don’t laugh). Passion for what you do makes life interesting.

All of these wonderful careers led me to real estate. My Brit husband and our menagerie of pets keep me balanced and happy, and real estate keeps me empowered and motivated. It’s GOOD to be the Dreamcatcher. Can I be yours?
