ABOUT SHIRLEE MCGARRY®

Relocating from California to the Salt Lake area in 1977, I have watched through the years the steady growth trends in business and especially the real estate market. Regardless of the state of our economy with the housing market, I can still say that Utah is a great and profitable place to live and call home!

In today's real estate market, there is simply no substitute for a good realtor. Whether you're buying or selling property, a realtor can spell the difference between a smooth or unsuccessful transaction. I am a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent who can provide you with the highly specialized information that will help you make the right decisions. It's the combination of this unique market-knowledge and excellent negotiating skills that enables me to get you the optimal price for any property you plan to sell or buy.

The one factor that sets me apart from other Realtors is the VIP professional service each of my clients receives with fast, exceptional results. I will take the stress out of your buying or selling experience. Selling or buying a home should be a rewarding experience as well as being the most exciting and wealth-building purchase in your life! I will be there with you every step of the way…

Home Ownership ...Owning your own home is America’s unique recipe for avoiding revolution and promoting pseudo-equality at the same time. To keep citizens puttering in their yards instead of sputtering on the barricades, the government has gladly deprived itself of billions in tax revenues by letting home “owners” deduct mortgage interest payments...

Florence King (b. 1936), U.S. author. “Democracy,” Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye (1989).

...Almost any man worthy of his salt would fight to defend his home, but no one ever heard of a man going to war for his boarding house...

”
Mark Twain quotes (American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer, 1835-1910 .
