Buying and selling real estate is first and foremost a business decision- not an emotional decision- where I advocate and negotiate hard for my partners to ensure their best interests and goals are exceeded throughout the transaction process to closing.
When I work with you in purchasing or selling real estate, I am working with you as a partner; you are not treated as a client. I pride myself on treating every transaction as if it were my own personal transaction, with the highest degree of professionalism to be expected from a Realtor. It's imperative that I ensure my partners are well educated to the transaction (both pre- and post-) process, enabling the best decisions to be made for themselves possible. Attention to detail is critical to ensuring accuracy with finances, inspections, and decision making during this process.
Working with new buyers is one of my most rewarding experiences and is personally the best part of being a Realtor. There are few goals greater than pride of ownership in your own home, in conjunction with all the various advantages that ownership enjoys over renting.
If you aspire to sell your property, I will work with you on proposing and executing to property updates & improvements to ensure a rapid sales cycle. Our goal will be attracting the greatest possible Buyer mindshare at the highest possible sales figure the market will support. I’ll ensure your property is optimized for sale and is locally market priced competitively when initially going to market, as that is absolutely critical to attracting buyers quickly and to going under contract. I possess the knowledge, vendor relationships, and marketing strategy & tactics to make that goal our reality.
