was born and raised in the St.-Paul Minneapolis area. Undergraduate work completed at the University of Minnesota with graduate degree in Psychology from Notre Dame University. After many decades of working in various milieus, she established a private practice in upstate New York. During those years was working as a psychotherapist, she spent the other half of the career day coaching figure skating.
Also as the facilities manager overseeing commercial new construction as well as the manager of a 24-unit apartment building for almost a decade, Fay has always been involved in some way with real estate: "I still relish every minute of my time wokring in real estate!"
"I find that real estate allows me to draw upon all of my varied skills and life experiences to advocate for my clients and provide the complete orchestration required to successfully close a transaction.
"I enjoy working with people from all over the Earth and regard my client's best interest with dedication and a desire for excellence. I endeavor to provide the highest level of professionalism while allowing the sometimes stressful process of selling or purchasing a property to be as much fun as possible!
"I work closely with all of the people involved who bring your transaction to completion. Your team includes home inspector, termite professionals for inspection or treatment, loan office or mortgage broker, title company, environmental specialists, perk testers, landscapers, renovation contractors, or anyone whom you need to complete the real estate process. I arrange your inspections and attempt to attend them all if possible.
"I provide the highest quality of professional photography for the MLS and other websites.
"I have published a book for preparing your home for the best possible sale. I provide detailed information about *all* the sold, cancelled and expired properties which would affect how you price your home for sale. Also the active properties which would be competing with your home or lot. I take you out on a fun "traveling CMA" which means we examine your competition closely to get the best price for your home without your property staying on the market longer than you desire.
"I provide you, the buyer or seller, with all of the information I have available to me so that you may make an informed and comfortable decision for investing in your future. We will look at statistics for the Sedona area regarding the price per square foot for properties in any price bracket.
"The absorption rate is the amount of time in months that it would take to sell a particular home within a certain price range if no new properties were introduced during the coming time frame. We will examine those statistics as well.
"For example, if the absorption rate is 11 months, that means it would take 11 months to sell all of the current properties on the market within a specific range. This is an important item because sometimes people want or need to sell within a certain time period. Other times they want to know how long it will take to obtain what might be fair market price in whatever market exists at the time.
"You and I will go through all of the documents ahead of an offer to so that all is understood and can be processed without pressure.
"There are so many splendid properties in the Sedona area! Please allow me to assist you in finding the perfect one for you."

"We enjoy the many hours of sunshine and the dry climate playing tennis. We adore anything in, on or near the water and go fishing. Oh, how they tug and pull! And, it is always fun to talk about 'the big one' that got away!"
Kind words from one client:
"Thank you Fay, Merry Christmas and best wishes for a wonderful new year to you. You were the best realtor that we have ever had. I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate everything that you did for us when purchasing our home.
"You were very professional and went above and beyond the normal scope of work. I would definitely recommend you to anyone and plan to list our home through you, when the timing is right.
"I also appreciate the market updates that you send periodically."
