ASK stands for more than Access, Service, Knowledge.  ASK refers to a process of inquiry and investigation, leading to sound decision-making.  Beginning with clarifying your concerns and expectations, we will assist you in developing a touchstone of intention tol support and guide your decision-making throughout the purchase or sale process.

ASK Realty’s approach to service is a client-driven design.  Since broker-owner Sharon Hawthorne became an agent in 1993, she’s listened closely to buyers and sellers and has tailored her personal approach and her company structure in response.  Sharon understands that much more than financial concerns are involved in most purchase or sale transactions.  Major life changing events often accompany choosing or leaving a home a job change, a promotion, a new baby, a marriage, a divorce, a death, an illness, an insurance award, an inheritance, a  retirement, the kids move out, a parent moves in at the very least a move likely represents a significant lifestyle change.  The ASK approach strives to take into account all the considerations important to you.  For more about why Sharon felt compelled to start her own company and what distinguishes ASK from more traditional brokerages go to Why ASK?   To learn more about her personal qualifications and experience take a look at About Sharon.

Both she and agent Michele Cameron are Seniors Real Estate Specialists trained in serving the particular needs of Baby Boomers and their parents.  Sharon is especially proud of her most recent certification as an EcoGreen Real Estate Agent qualifying her to better assist clients in accessing information about and evaluating the benefits of various green building and remodeling practices.

ASK’s Search for Property  function is also a bit unusual designed so that searches can be conducted  using the same geographic parameters that agents employ without need for zip codes or the confusion of searching rural areas by city names. And unlike most brokers’ sites ASK allows complete access with no registration.  We don’t feel a need to ‘capture’ visitors to build business we trust, if ASK Realty feels like a good match, you can and will choose to contact us.

Respect for the uniqueness of each individual is at the heart of ASK
