Whether this is your first home or your last, it’s probably the single most important and expensive purchase you’ll ever make. That’s why you deserve a real estate professional with the knowledge and skill to assist you in making informed decisions and to negotiate on your behalf.

With years of experience in the business, I can provide the expertise and personalized attention you expect and deserve – before, during and after the transaction. I’ll take the time to discover what is important to you and work diligently until you are completely satisfied.

Before we head out to find the perfect house, it always helps to brainstorm and prioritize a list of all the features you are looking for. We’ll start with the basics including the style of the house, size, number of bathrooms and bedrooms, desired neighborhood, commutes to jobs and proximity to schools, parks and retail services.

Then, we’ll discuss the items on your dream list such as a master bathroom with a Jacuzzi, a 3-season porch, walk-in closets or a wooded lot. The goal is to find properties that first meet your essential needs and then as many of the extras that you can reasonably afford.

I know every home isn’t for you. That’s why I take the time to learn about your dreams, goals, hobbies and interests. I use this information to pre-screen properties especially for you and make the process of searching for your new home as rewarding as possible.

Matching the right home to the right buyer is my specialty. And I make a point of knowing about every property - even before they're listed. To do this, I spend countless hours behind the scenes touring neighborhoods, researching the market and networking throughout the community.

Together, we'll investigate various neighborhoods and tour houses to help you get a solid feel for property values. Then, we'll target your desired location and search for a home that fits your lifestyle and values. To save you time, I pre-screen numerous properties to find ones that closely match your list of needs and wishes. Then I contact the sellers and their agents and schedule showings to fit your schedule.

As we tour properties, I will point out their attributes as well as advise you on taking a closer look at potential problem areas such as water seepage, ventilation and finish work. Of course, there is no substitute for a professional home inspection once you make an offer, but knowing what to look for before entering negotiations will result in fewer surprises later on.

Now that you've found the perfect home, it's critical that you submit an offer immediately to ensure another eager buyer doesn't beat you to the negotiating table. I'll help you determine a realistic offer price based on a general market overview and recent sales of similar properties.

After reviewing fair market value, we’ll make adjustments to the asking price based on other variables that could influence negotiations such as the property's condition and location, the length of time the house has been on the market and the reason motivating the seller to move (if disclosed). Next, I'll submit a formal offer including property inspection and financing contingencies for your protection. Then I negotiate on your behalf.

The negotiating process requires skill, experience and complete objectivity. I can provide the expertise you need while sticking to the facts. When I go to the negotiating table, I go fully prepared, armed with the right information, keeping your best interests in mind.

In addition to negotiating the best deal for you, I'll also walk you through the entire closing process. From recommending inspectors, surveyors and lenders to coordinating seller disclosures and title searches, I'll ensure your deal closes smoothly and without unnecessary costs.

Even after the transaction is complete, I'm at your service. My commitment to you is lifelong.

Selling your home is no simple matter. It involves complex financial and personal decisions. That's why you deserve top-caliber service from a real estate professional who will listen to your needs and produce outstanding results.

With years of experience in the business, I can provide you the expertise and personalized attention you expect - even after the transaction is completed. I know this is most likely your greatest asset marked with your lifestyle, values and memories. I will work diligently and effectively to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Properly pricing your home is the most crucial element in making a successful sale. Underprice it, and you lose on your investment. Overprice it, and you may discourage potentially qualified buyers. And because most homes lose market value if they linger on the market, there's no time for trial and error.

The greatest amount of buyer activity occurs during the first three to four weeks. Then it begins to taper. If you start too high and reduce your price later, you've lost your best opportunities and now must settle for a smaller pool of potential buyers.

I'll help you establish a fair asking price based on general market data and recent sales in the area of homes similar to yours. From there, I'll take into consideration other factors that may affect the value of your home, such as the location and condition of your property. Then, I'll continue to advise you on competitive adjustments until your home is sold.

Before we put your property on the market, I'll tour your home and help you see it through a buyer's eyes. I can recommend simple repairs and improvements for your home's interior and curb appeal that will increase the marketability of your home. I can also provide creative tips on using lighting, soothing sounds and pleasant aromas to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that will appeal to the home buyer's senses.

You also may want to consider a professional pre-sale inspection. I can recommend inspectors with proven track records. Taking this added step to identify potential problem areas before you sell - and attending to them or disclosing them to the buyer up-front - will improve the speed, price and likelihood of a sale.

It takes more than a For Sale sign in your yard to generate serious buyers, especially since 40 percent of home buyers relocate from out of town. It takes endless phone calls and appointments as well as technological savvy and exclusive connections.

Through the RE/MAX global referral network, I have full access to hundreds of thousands of serious buyers across the country. Plus, I spend countless hours behind the scenes networking throughout the community and with fellow real estate professionals in search of buyers for you. The more buyers who know your home is for sale, the more likely you'll sell during your prime marketing period. Using the latest marketing strategies and technology, I'll develop a campaign designed exclusively to give your property high profile and get maximum value.

When an offer is presented by the buyer's agent, I'll be there to guide you and advise you through the process. I understand this may be the largest financial transaction you'll ever make. That's why I go to the negotiating table with your best interests in mind.

Reaching an agreement between seller and buyer and then closing the deal requires complete objectivity and patience. Working with a skilled negotiator not only will improve your chances of selling at a good price, but also will bring you peace of mind.

From coordinating counteroffers, title searches and disclosures to protecting you from litigation and unexpected turns, I have the skills and resources to help you get top dollar and ensure your deal closes smoothly.

As a RE/MAX real estate professional, I'll take the guesswork out of your real estate transaction by helping you make informed decisions. I have the technical know-how and backing of the world's premier real estate organization. This allows me to sell your home more quickly for a better price than agents from other companies.

If you're looking to sell your home, call me today for the best personal service. If you're looking to buy a home, I can help with that, too.
