2005 Affiliate of the Year - Bonnie Lustnauer

Bonnie Lustnauer is an associate with The Talon Group and CBR?s 2005 Affiliate of the Year.

Bonnie attributes her success in this business to building relationships and becoming close friends with her customers. She advises those new to the business not to be afraid to ask questions. Be patient and enjoy what you do. You get to help people fulfill one of their dreams?buying a home!

Her most memorable experience in the business was pre-signing first time home-buyers in the hospital right after they delivered their first child. The buyer went into labor a few weeks early and right before the closing. The news media was there to film the big event, 1st baby, 11st home, and 1st mortgage!

Bonnie currently serves as a member of the Women?s Counsel of REALTORS® (WCR), and of the Dublin, Hilliard and Northwest area real estate associations, where she helps plan social events, golf outings, and holiday parties. She also shops and delivers gift baskets to needy families during the holidays.

She is a member of the Upper Arlington Lutheran church, counsels breast cancer patients, and volunteers for the Faith Mission, Bake for Cairos Prison Ministry, National Denim day, and the Adopt a Family.
