I’m a lifelong Memphian and longtime (35 year) member of the Multi-Million Dollar Sales Club. Back then, the average house cost around $50,000, made it a difficult task to get to the Million mark. I sell properties in Downtown, Midtown, East Memphis, and somewhat beyond. If I can’t find it, you probably wouldn’t want to buy it.
Always active in my profession and in the community, I’ve served on the boards of VECA, my neighborhood association, Concerts International. I am a lay eucharist minister in the Episcopal Church and head up our family’s scholarship program for the winner each year of the Brooks Museum Jr. Midsouth Arts Contest. East High School, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Rhodes, and University of Memphis are all my alma maters. I also wrote and edited for the Press-Scimitar, the evening paper and sister Scripps-Howard paper to the Commercial Appeal, beginning when I was a Jr. in high school.
My husband, Harmon Dunathan, is retired Academic Dean at Rhodes. We have an old Doberman, Zeus, and the baby, also Doberman, Sophie. I’ve worked with two great Real Estate Companies, but I’ve never been more proud than now, as an agent with the brilliant new Ware Jones, Realtors. We have great leadership, powerful support staff, top agents, an excess of expertise and great energy. We intend to dazzle!
I’m aka: Agent Pitts, still selling AND closing after all these years. Call me. We’ll show you how it’s done!
When I entered the real estate world, women had just been granted the right to have a real estate license IF their children were below high school age. There were no mobile phones (or even answering machines). No fax machines, emails, or online Multiple Listing Service. The new listings were posted in a catalog every other week and we all hung around the old Board of Realtors’ Parking lot waiting for the truck to deliver them. We spent a lot more time with our customers and with each other, eventually, learning the things that can’t be taught in class. That finding the best house for your buyer and preparing and selling a property is just the beginning…the road to the closing table is paved with challenge. Things can and do go wrong, and your agent needs to recognize a problem, find the solution, and get you to the closing table ALSO keeping everyone informed and moving forward. That’s just how I do it and have done it, and why I’m still selling AND closing after all these years!
