As a native to Kansas and a former local high school English teacher in the Shawnee Mission school district, I am able to give buyers extra assistance and information on schools and the city. My license plate "REALTOR" lets everyone know my profession. My customers find that I am easy to work with and an excellent negotiator. My slogan "choose this LEFT handed realtor to help you make the RIGHT move" expresses my desire to help my buyers find the right home or my sellers to find the right buyer for the best price and terms. I have had my brokers/realtors licenses for over 22 and have consistently been one of the top 10 realtors in the city on both the Kansas and Missouri sides. I hold various designations and degrees: CRS (certified real estate consultant), ABR (accredited buyers agent), SRES(senior citizen representative), CSP (certified new sales consultant-to build) and e-PRO. My education consists of BA and Masters from University of California at Berkeley. I have 3 daughters, 1 dog and 1 cat. My recently licensed Schipperke, Skipper, was rescued by me from a local animal shelter so he helps me find some DOG GONE good homes for my clients. I belong to various organizations like Friends of Art, Friends of the Zoo, Native Sons of Kansas City, Hadassah, Brandeis, local and national realtor organizations. My hobbies are art, traveling, reading, working out, and horse back riding. My other web sites are www.sharonsigman.com www.realestateinoverlandpark.com www.isellkansashomes. www.homesinkansascity.com. I have a toll free 800 number ( 800-291-1302 )that follows me wherever I go.
