Christine Honored as 'REALTOR® of the Month'
Christine Hendricks calls herself an “import.” Originally from Illinois, she attended Indiana University and decided to become a Hoosier. In her late 20s, she began to pursue a career in real estate. With her strong bent towards customer service, Christine felt she could make a difference helping clients in the home buying market.And indeed she has. “Christine is a true example of a REALTOR® partner,” comments Amy Slane, Estridge new home consultant. “She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, professional and attentive to details. She cares about her clients’ needs and educates them on every part of the home buying process.” Christine has many awards that speak of her professional expertise. But the one that means the most to her is the Quality Service Award, which she has won every year. “This award is based on client feedback, so this honor stands out for me.” The impressive fact that Christine’s business today is 90 percent referral attests to her focus on customer service. “When you really treat people the way you want to be treated, it makes a huge difference.” “That’s why I like to sell Estridge homes. Estridge is literally an extension of the way I do business. The company is a first-class operation offering a superior product. I know that Estridge homes are wise investments that will hold their value in the future.” Another Estridge plus, according to Christine, is the Three-Year Home Life Maintenance and Reliability Program. “No other builder offers this and, time and time again, this program has made the difference with buyers.”Educating the client and serving as a resource is very important to Christine and to Estridge. “From the minute people walk into the model home, Estridge representatives educate the buyer instead of push to sell them something. Just like me, Estridge reps have enthusiasm, go the extra mile and exceed the expectations of their clients.”

Cosmetic Improvements >Interior Decorating
Many people recognize a decorating style they like when they see it, but they find it difficult to combine colors, fabrics, furnishings and window treatments to create the total finished look they want.
Where can you find a good decorator? If you like the interior of your friends' home, ask them for recommendations. Many communities have decorator showcases where you can see first hand the work of several local designers. Furniture retailers sometimes hire professionals to assist their customers.
Before you commit to working with a designer or decorator, sit down and discuss your taste and goals, their fee structure, and your budget. Pay particular attention to whether the person is an active listener and communicates well. Whether you are trying to make your home look wonderful in order to sell it or want to fix up a new home, the investment in professional advice can save you costly mistakes and make your home a reflection of your good taste.
