About Lyn
I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I went to a small university (Denison) in Onio where I met my husband. After a year of working for the airlines, we married and I moved to Columbus where I became a travel agent until my two sons were born. While they were growing up I became a Jazzercise instructor & area manager, which I continued after moving to Scottsdale in 1991 for my husbands job. I also worked in retail, managing an art/framing store before getting into real estate in 2000, after our youngest son graduated from High School. I have always worked with people in service positions and feel my experience in marketing and communications helps me in my business. Having been a first time buyer, a move up (as well as a downsizing) buyer, a relocated buyer and a homeowner who has designed and built a home on a vacant lot, I feel I have personal experience to make me credible to my clients. My business has always been about relationships.Housing Recovery to Occur in Two Phases: Demand Institute
