I am currently enrolled in classes to obtain my GRI designation (Graduate Realtor Institute). One of my classes was on tax planning. I learned a lot about self directed IRA's. A lot of people have large retirement accounts and are tired of having all of their money in the ups and downs of the stock market. Retirement accounts can own real estate but probably not with the current company you are using. There are companies that specialize in real estate IRA's such as Entrust (www.entrustadmin.com), Lincoln Trust (www.lincolntrust.com), and Sterling Trust (www.sterling-trust.com). Of course, there are a lot of rules and regs concerning these investments but I think it is definitely worth looking into. I own investment real estate and it has been more stable than the stock market in recent years. Visit my teachers website at www.tomlundstedt.com for more info on using your retirement account to invest in real estate. Call me when you are ready to buy in the Raleigh, NC area!
I am Real Estate Broker specializing in the Clayton area. Whether buying or selling I am here to provide you with the professionalism and integrity needed to ensure a smooth real estate experience.
I moved to Raleigh in 1983 just in time to watch NC State win the national title. I graduated from Broughton High School in 1985. I am a graduate of NC State University with a degree in Business Management. I put that degree to use by owning my own corporate event business for many years. Since I have always had a big interest in real estate, in 2006 I started my second career as a residential real estate broker. I have a wonderful husband and two teenaged girls. I am active in my church and community and always try to live by the golden rule. I enjoy traveling, running, and being outdoors. I love watching my oldest daughter, Kayla, cheer for the Clayton Comets and my youngest daughter, Ali, play volleyball, basketball, and softball for Riverwood Middle School. I love helping people with their real estate dreams. It is rewarding and a challenge to help clients reach their real estate goals.
As a real estate professional in Johnston and Wake counties and area resident since 1983 I can provide you with helpful insights about the area, and assist you with every aspect of buying and selling property. I make every effort to assist clients in feeling comfortable about what can be a stressful decision.
Trust is hard to come by in today's world . I am here to provide you with the professionalism and integrity needed to ensure that you feel secure in what can be one of the biggest decisions of your life.
As a successful business owner I learned accountability, as an active citizen I have developed compassion, and as a parent I've come to understand responsibility. This is what I bring to my clients.
Choosing the right realtor is an important decision. I offer experience & expertise, integrity & honesty, and quality service you can trust. Whether buying or selling you can expect the utmost satisfaction in all your real estate transactions.
I have recently obtained my GRI, Graduate Realtor Institute designation, which required advanced coursework in technology, referrals, and buyer and seller strategies. The value for you as a buyer or seller are the many advanced strategies I know how to use for marketing your home or helping you find the right home. The use of technology is key in this market when working with buyers and sellers, and for daily business operations and communications. I am committed to keeping up with new technology and using it to assist my clients in any way possible.
My goal is to surpass the expectations of every client that I come in contact with. I believe that great service is the key to success in any business.

The Clayton area is a great place to live! I have lived in Clayton for 17 years and before that I lived in Raleigh for 9 years. Clayton is a great community for active families. It has all the charm of a small town yet it's close to Raleigh for shopping, work , and entertainment. It's central location makes us about two hours fron the coast and three hours from the mountains. Johnston County Schools are top rated with Clayton just being named one of the top 10 most affordable places for families to live and assure a top education for their children by BusinessWeek magazine. We are surrounded by some of the best universities in the country including Duke and UNC. Reasearch Triangle Park is close by providing employment for thousands of area residents. Most people in Clayton are friendly and welcoming. I love living and working in Clayton!
