Please allow me to share my experience, philosophies and ideas and see how they match your expectations.</p> <p>Most real estate agents, when asked, will tell you they’ve had other careers. They have chosen real estate as a secondary career to something they "did before." While that is great, I have chosen a different approach.</p> <p>Real estate has always been my passion!</p> <p>My career in real estate began in 1978, with a firm in Wayzata. I soon learned that customer service is the key to success. While I have goals and expectations, you need someone to listen and turn <b>your</b> dreams, desires and expectations into reality. Professional training taught me that there is not just one way to look at a situation and with expert coaching and personal development I have become an expert with a customer driven perspective.</p> <b> <p>Growing up with Real Estate</p> </b> <p>I learned early on that figuring it out for yourself is necessary for success. The daughter of a single parent, my mother and I worked together to achieve a better life. As I grew up my mom purchased homes that needed help and elbow grease. With a lot of hard work and vision, we turned them into something to be proud of. Even my current home was a "project of love" to turn around.</p> <p>These life experiences plus the understanding of landscaping, interior design, property location assessment, neighborhood evaluation, customer communication, and "just feeling right and comfortable" gives me a background that few Realtors understand. Why minimize the single biggest purchase and investment that most people make in their lives? <b>Your </b>home choice says a lot about you and my goal is to provide guidance and counseling to ensure that you find that perfect match for your goals and needs.</p> <b> <p>Over 20 years of Real Estate experience</p> </b> <p>Since my career in real estate began in 1978, I have felt it necessary to challenge myself every day. My philosophy is that it is important to continually hone my skills to stay at the cutting edge of techniques that will benefit my clients. That is why I am proud to have my Minnesota Brokers license, something only a small percentage of real estate agents obtain.</p> <p>Over the course of my career I’ve worked in many sectors of the real estate industry: administration, management, marketing, corporate relocation, consulting and residential sales. My extensive experience will be working transparently and energetically behind the scenes to market your home or make your home purchase smooth and trouble free.</p> <p><b>My Favorite Things</p> </b> <p>I love sunshine and fun, my husband, my Schnauzers, gardening, golfing, playing with my nieces and nephews and working with my clients!</p> </font><u> <p><a href="mailto:tamiholmes@edinarealty.com" target="rtop"><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#B90000">Contact me</font></a></u><font face="Arial" size="2">, I would like to get to know you.<br> </font> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" colspan="2"> <p align="center"><b><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"><a href="../noframes/nf_buying.htm" target="rtop">Buying A Home</a> </font><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> | </font><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> <a href="../noframes/nf_selling.htm" target="rtop">Selling your Home</a> </font><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> | </font><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> </font><a href="http://www.edina.com/misc/AgentResultList.asp?srch=Agent&SalesAssoc=5887&AgentListing=True" target="_blank"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif">Current Listings</font></a><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> </font><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> |</font><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> <a href="http://www.edinarealty.com/IRP/Tools/FinanceTools.asp" target="_blank">Calculators</a><br> <a href="../schools/frameset.htm" target="rtop">Schools</a> </font><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif">|</font><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> <a href="http://www.edinarealty.com/IRP/listing/ListingSearch.asp?ListingType=1&SearchType=Geographic" target="_blank">Property Finder</a> </font><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> |</font><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> <a href="../noframes/nf_clients_say.htm" target="rtop">What Our Clients Say</a><a href="http://edinarealty.com/misc/mapthis/minneapolis.asp" target="_blank"><br> Neighborhoods</a> </font><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> |</font><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> <a href="../noframes/nf_about_tami.htm" target="rtop">About Tami</a> </font><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> |</font><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> <a href="../noframes/nf_about_jim.htm" target="rtop">About Jim</a> </font><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> |</font><font color="#B90000" size="1" face="MS Sans Serif"> <a href="mailto:tamiholmes@edinarealty.com" target="rtop">Contact Us</a></font></b> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <font face="Arial" size="2"> </font> <p align="center"><font face="Arial" color="#c0c0c0" size="1"><b>Copyright © 2002 Tami Holmes & Jim Loss.<br> Edina Realty Logo is a Registered® Trademark™ of the Edina Realty Corporation.</b></font></p>  </body>
