Bedy Guzman is marked by her passion for helping others achieve their dreams , and she has the education , persistence , and work ethic to make it happen . Not only that , but she is backed by the area ’ s No . 1 agency , Keller Williams . Her drive to help others achieve homeownership is rooted in concrete childhood memories . In 1999 , the first Habitat for Humanity house in Van Buren was built for Bedy ’ s family .

Since then , Bedy considers it an honor to be able to help others achieve the same dreams her family did .
“ I understand the value , sentiment , effort , and hard work that goes into becoming a homeowner , investor , or business owner . It requires an agent who is patient , understanding , supportive , hardworking , and a good listener ,” she said .
Bedy maintains a diverse portfolio of not just residential home sales , but also commercial , land , and investment properties . She knows that this is not easy and has found that working with an investor is quite different from working with a first-time home buyer .
