For My Buyer Clients
My mission is to make sure you find just the right place -- one that not only meets your budget requirements but will also be a place you want to call home. As a homeowner, I understand the importance of the decision to purchase a home and know that my job is not done until you feel completely comfortable with your decision. Respecting your budget is something you can always count on from me. I will never show you properties that exceed the limit you have placed upon yourself. Finding the right place at the right price is the cornerstone of my business.
For My Seller Clients
FOR MY SELLER CLIENTS: Assisting you in determining the proper price for your home is the first step in this important process, and I work closely with you to analyze market conditions unique to your property needs. Second, I create a client-tailored marketing and sales plan designed to showcase and sell your home to its best advantage at the best price possible. Included in this unique marketing plan are the bevy of resources provided by Coldwell Banker. This includes up front positioning on the following websites: Coldwell Banker National and Coldwell Banker Online local sites, Trulia, Realtor.com, Zillow (the number one home search site), and YouTube (the future in home marketing). Your home will be professionally photographed for showcasing in high end brochures, targeted mailings and in multiple real estate print publications. Once a contract is received, I will negotiate on your behalf to achieve the successful results you desire. Finally, I will sell your home with the enthusiasm and dynamic sales skills that I would use in selling a home of my own. Whatever it takes, I will assist you from start to finish and work to make the selling experience positive and successful.

Client Recommendations
Jami and Kevin F: "We never could have could have sold our home so quickly without Jeanne's help. She made great suggestions on how our home would show best, and we followed them all. She knows what buyers notice and care about when viewing a home. The marketing materials she put together were wonderful. But, most importantly, she showed our home a lot, scheduled multiple open houses and made herself available to show our home at the buyers and sellers convenience."
Molly and Todd D: "Jeanne Braun was a fantastic real estate agent. Jeanne put forth 100% effort all the time, and she made us feel like we were her only clients! We genuinely felt our happiness was very important to her. Whether this is your fifth home or first home, we would highly recommend Jeanne as your realtor."
