A Note from Cyndi Merritt:
Hi! Thanks for visiting my website!
You’re obviously on this page because you want to know a little bit about my background and how I can help you with your real estate needs, so here goes:
MY BACKGROUND and WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
I have been involved with real estate and investments in one form or another since the early 80’s. Back then, I was a loan officer and investment advisor for a local bank. In case you don’t remember, in the early 80’s the Prime Lending Rate fluctuated around 20%, the Dow Jones was under 800 and the average home price was just over $47,000. My how times have changed! Being in banking for almost 20 years gave me a wonderful understanding of our financial and economic world. Holding several Investment Series Licenses, I have a strong appreciation for your investment portfolio and the role that real estate has in it. And, because I spent years in lending and credit counseling, I can also help you navigate through the mortgage loan process along side my very knowledgeable mortgage partners.
During the 90’s while operating a family-owned wholesale brokerage company, I began my own rental property portfolio and handled the General Contractor duties for my primary residence. I developed the architectural design and later several additions. Since then, I have done a variety of property renovations, “fix and flips”, “buy and holds”, interior design and landscape design. Yes, I will swing a hammer, climb a ladder, crawl under a house and I’ve been told I get more paint on myself than on the walls…. But the point is, I will do whatever it takes to get the job done.
In 2004, it was time to take all the real estate knowledge I had accumulated and combine it with the decades of customer service, marketing, sales and negotiation experience I had acquired. I became a Licensed REALTOR® in the Commonwealth of Virginia. That’s how I got here, an independent business owner and entrepreneur working with one of the largest real estate companies in North America.
My business is operated almost exclusively by referral and I love helping my clients and then their families, friends and co-workers. I have a wonderful group of partners and we strive to make each aspect of your real estate transaction go as smoothly as possible. We work hard and enjoy what we do so you may rest assured we will do our best for you!
ON A PERSONAL NOTE
When I’m not working (which is rare) you will probably find me singing in my church choir, trying to write the next great Country Music song, playing with my dog or working with one of my favorite non-profit organizations. When I travel, you will most likely find me on a beach or sight-seeing in a new city. I am a bit of a risk-taker and will try just about anything, once. (Ask me about sky diving and biking!) My smart, beautiful, amazing daughter lives way too far away and I don’t get to see her as often as I would like. And finally, I am blessed more than I can believe with wonderful friends and my God who loves me.
Sincerely,
Cyndi Merritt
