About Missie McSweeney
Positive attitude and constant communication are the cornerstones of Missie's real estate practice. Meeting her clients with an upbeat, friendly attitude coupled with keeping an open line of communication are the driving forces behind her approach to helping her clients successfully buy or sell their home.
Real Estate is a McSweeney family affair. Having her husband and in-laws in the real estate business helped influence and encourage Missie's decision to step outside of her role in the corporate world and pursue her passion for real estate. Prior to leaving she held management and sales positions that sharpened her skills in one-on-one client relationship building, contract negotiations, business and program design, research, and dispute resolution. Her ability to apply these skills to real estate has given her the experience and foundation in providing superior service and customer satisfaction.
