When searching for a realtor, it's generally advisable to find someone with experience in selling homes who is educated, dedicated to customer service, active in the community, and family-oriented.
However, locating a realtor who possesses those qualities along with customer service experience in both national and international business can be quite challenging.
Why is a realtor's business experience important? If your property is involved, you'd likely prefer a sharp professional who can handle complex situations beyond the standard real estate buying and selling—such as 1031 exchanges, probate sales, short sales, bank-owned properties, and rentals. The difference in expertise can significantly impact your experience and outcomes.
Rosemary began her career in the banking industry, dedicating 27 years to key roles across California, Arizona, and Germany. As the Manager of Customer Service for the Western Region of Military Banking in Europe, she oversaw customer service across 26 branch offices and 8 mobile banking units, each located on military bases throughout western Germany and the Netherlands. As a self-starter, she expanded the role by organizing management meetings, training sessions, teaching classes, directing marketing efforts, and representing the bank within the military community. She was proud to work with the military on the POM (Preparation for Overseas Movement) during the Desert Storm deployment from Germany.
Upon returning to the U.S., Rosemary transitioned her customer service experience into the real estate sector, where she spent 12 years as a REALTOR® with Prudential California Realty and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties. Now with over 21 years of licensure, she has expertise in all facets of real estate.
Currently, as a proud member of HomeSmart, the National Association of Realtors, and the 400 North Board of Realtors, Rosemary exemplifies the values of a REALTOR®, including hard work, dedication, integrity, and commitment. She is well known for providing exceptional personal service to her clients, facilitating their transition to the next chapter of their lives.
Having grown up in a large, extended family in the San Francisco Bay Area, Rosemary developed a love for travel and exploration from her parents, who took the family camping at various state and national parks across the Western United States.
Married with three children and four grandchildren (who bring her immense joy), Rosemary and her husband moved to Cresswind on Lake Lanier in Gainesville, GA, in 2013 to be closer to their family. In her free time, she enjoys attending her grandchildren’s ball games, traveling, cooking, being on the lake, working out, gardening, watching movies, and spending time with friends and family. Rosemary has been actively involved in numerous clubs and activities since moving to Cresswind and has also served as treasurer of the Cresswind at Lake Lanier Cooking Club, managing finances and organizing major events for 600+ members and over 50 volunteers.
