Diane Rae Jones, ABR, ASP’s Summary
Consistently contributing to bottom line growth is just one of the many ways I have served a pivotal role in the success of previous employers and current clients.
With an extensive background in sales for Windermere, the largest real estate brokerage in the Puget Sound region, and project management for organizations such as MCI and Bell Atlantic/Verizon, I offer a unique combination of sales, marketing, and project management.
These skills, together with my ability to coordinate multi-functional teams and communicate easily with clients, qualify me well to position my clients for success in the purchase or sale of a residential or investment property.
