I relocated to Ocean Pines, MD in 2000 from Pasadena, Maryland with my
husband Doug after spending countless summers in Ocean City, Maryland. It
was one of the best decisions we ever made. Being near the ocean, beach, boating,
fishing and all the great activities the shore lifestyle has to offer is
“After All What It’s All About”.
I became a REALTOR® in 2001 and then
received my Associate Broker’s license in 2008 to become the Sales Manager of
Hileman Real Estate in Ocean Pines. I have helped my clients and sales
associates through a variety of economic situations and changes in the Ocean
City housing market – from housing booms, real estate declines and market
adjustments.
Before
becoming a REALTOR®, I worked for a major financial institution for 20 years
and held many positions from customer service, banking center manager,
sales manager to project manager. This past experience gives me a thorough
understanding of the lending and financial processes. I
provide my clients and associates with the highest level of customer service
to make the real estate transaction as smooth as possible from the initial
search through settlement.
Since
getting into the real estate business, I have earned her Accredited
Buyer Representative (ABR), At Home With Diversity (AHWD), Graduate
REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designations, Broker Price Opinion
Resource (BPOR) and Performance Management Network (PMN) through additional
education and training courses. I quickly learned that
establishing a solid network of industry professionals was going to help serve
my clients best. I joined the National Women’s Council of REALTORS® in
2001 which connects me her with more than 16,000 real estate professionals across
the country. WCR is the twelfth largest women’s organization in the
country as well. After becoming involved on a local level, I found
that it helped me get to know other area REALTORS® on a more personal level,
which helps make transactions go smoother. Women’s Council is all
about developing leaders and I have taken advantage of what they had to offer
by becoming a local chapter officer since 2003. I was the
2012/2013 Governor for the Maryland State Chapter, served on the
local Coastal
Association of REALTORS® as a Board of Director, and have served on
both State and National Association of REALTORS® Committees. “Being involved in these organizations allows me to grow both
personally and professionally.”
In August of 2012, Sharon was individually
awarded the 2012 REALTOR® of
the Year Award from the Coastal Association of REALTORS® for her
involvement in the real estate industry. I am especially proud of the receiving the 2011 Large State Chapter of the Year
Award for Chapter Excellence from the National Women’s Council of
REALTORS® for chapters across the country during her term as State Chapter
President.
I have built my business through referrals from friends and past clients based on my reputation. I hope to earn your trust as well.
