Cristal Drake’s Summary

A Little About My Experience:
Having had the entrepreneurial spirit since I was 10, I acquired my first paper route. I quickly learned that be being service oriented and making sure my customers were taken care of, made all the difference in my success in sales. Over the years I have nurtured my “helpful” personality and have made customer service a key part of my sales campaign in any item or service I sold. My rather colorful resume includes being a sales rep for personal spa services, singles dating services and refrigerator magnets!

I have been a licensed Real Estate Agent since 1998 and have spent the last 12 years in Advertising and Mortgage Consulting. These traits serve me well because I know how to market homes and make sure deals close!

Simply, I believe that if you provide outstanding service, know your product and do what you say you will, then the sales and happy clients will follow.

Cristal Drake’s Specialties:

Helping First Time Home Buyers is one of the most rewarding things I do! With increased rents, lower home prices and reasonable rates, it is getting much easier to make that dream a reality! Everyone deserves and CAN have a nice place to live. Lately, people are surprised when I tell them what their money will get them and with a little creativity, even people that thought they had "missed the boat" in the last upswing are now feeling they can be home owners after all!
