Meet the A-TEAM!

Jake - Client Relations Manager

Hey, my name is Jake Embs! Growing up I moved around a lot with my family while my dad served for the United State Air Force. After many years we settled down in DeWitt Michigan where I have resided for almost 20 years. I joined the Army National Guard right out of high school which allowed me to serve and work in sales at the same time. I joined The SELLING Team in the Spring of 2021 as the new Client Relations Manager and have really enjoyed getting to know our past and future clients.  Clients can expect quarterly calls from me and my team.  Outside of work I enjoy playing and watching all kinds of sports and going on different adventures with my wife and 2 Huskies!

Lindsay - Client Experience Specialist and Transaction Coordinator

My name is Lindsay Wassom, I live in Mason, Michigan with my husband and three children. I grew up in a mix between Grayling and Ludington, MI. We love spending time outside as a family, watching sports and traveling with friends! I am so glad to have joined The SELLING Team with Keller Williams Realty and look forward to providing  5-star customer service to our clients through their home buying process!

Carli - Post Closing Support

My name is Carli Kirkham, I am here for all your post closing support questions.  I was born in Lansing, MI and have lived in Charlotte, MI for most of my life. I graduated from Olivet College in 2014 with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Marketing concentration. I truly love my position on The SELLING Team because I get to support the team and our clients ensuring we have perfect files! Outside of work, I enjoy a good DIY project (usually found on Pinterest), attending Red Wings games with my Husband, and playing with our dogs.

Morgan- Transaction Coordinator

My name is Morgan Hart, I live in Durand, Michigan with my husband, daughter and two dogs. I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Northwestern Ohio. I am so excited to have recently joined The SELLING Team with Keller Williams Realty as a Transaction Coordinator and I can't wait to assist our clients with their real estate transactions! I love spending time with my family and when the weather is nice you can find me outside hiking, biking or just relaxing by the pool!

Sarah - Director of Operations

Greetings! My name is Sarah Deweese; I am the Director of Operations for The SELLING Team with Keller Williams Realty.  I joined Brock in 2011 and 5 months later we started a team. As a Michigan native, I love this state and am glad to be home again. I feel incredibly fortunate to be using my Bachelor's Degree (Business Management, from Whitworth University, Washington State) in my profession. I have been with The SELLING Team since before its creation in 2011. It's the complexity of real estate that really drew me in; I love a good challenge and chance to improve a system. Outside of work, I like to cook, read a variety of books, craft and I am a sucker for a good historical drama on Netflix.
