As your Buyer's Advocate, I Will Set You Up for Success to Win the Home You Want

Happy Couple Whether it’s your first home, or if you’re an experienced buyer, purchasing a home is a complex process with each transaction having its own set of nuances. My first step is to always meet with you to talk about your goals, your lifestyle and what it takes to get you into a home in the current Real Estate market.  This is about a 20-30 minute meeting. (Which can also be done by FaceTime or Zoom!) When helping with your purchase, I will educate you on the home buying process, listen attentively to your needs, wants, goals and time frame. Then research for those needs (many times investing my own time and money to find the home that meets your criteria), strategically show on-market and off-market properties that you have reviewed and approved. Once we find the place that is right for you, I guide you through the process of making a winning offer then tenaciously negotiate the best price and terms on your behalf. I will guide you all along the way being your advocate for having a thorough inspection conducted, negotiating repairs, monitoring timelines then following through for a successful, stress free close! (Unless you're a worry-wart, then I can't help you, lol) I truly understand the importance of listening, relating to my clients, communicating, being patient, and problem solving. My strength is in managing the entire transaction from contract to close avoiding pitfalls that could derail your purchase or sale. I am routinely able to foresee possible problems and take preventative measures to avoid any potential negative issues from arising. If you are considering purchasing a home, I welcome your phone call (even if you just have a few questions you need answers to.)  Being available to others to ask questions with no expectation of reciprocation, is my way of  'paying it forward'.  I have been blessed to have had a hand up many times in my life.  I would be thrilled to continue to pay that forward.  I look forward to helping you. When you work with an experienced Realtor who always keeps your best interest first  (ME! :)) ....  you will:
  • Be more likely to find the home that meets almost all your criteria
  • Lessen the amount of time it will take to find your home
  • Understand all the terms, processes and documents used when buying your home
  • Have up-to-date market information that will allow you to make informed decisions
  • Have a skilled negotiator working on your behalf, one who is committed to looking after your best interests
  • Enjoy peace of mind, knowing that all the details of your purchase are being taken care of by an experienced and knowledgeable professional

Considering Selling Your Property?

I Understand There is a Lot of Information to Sort Through When Selling Your House, So I Will Keep This as Direct as Possible! Home For Sale
  Knowing how busy we are, I am cognizant of the value of our time. It all starts with a brief conversation! Reach out to me and let me know what your goals with selling your place are and we can go from there to either answer your questions or construct a plan together to get you to your desired outcome. My 24 years of experience in various markets and varied property types, has honed my skills allowing me to specialize in the strategic planning and research of selling your home in the timeframe that fits your goals AND for the most amount of money possible.
I begin with educating my homeowners on the selling process, the importance of partnering with someone who aligns with their goals (and never loses focus that this entire process is all about YOU and your family.)   I consult with you on preparing your property to go on the market, offering years of experience on what buyers want/expect in their new home regarding upgrades, staging, and pricing strategies.
My multi-touch-point marketing system (via social media, online, TV ads & print media) is strategically designed to get as much exposure on your property as creatively possible.  It will drive buyers to your house and generate offers that net you the most money.  I will firmly negotiate the highest price and best terms possible that align with your goals. Helping find a buyer for your home is only one facet of a real estate professional’s job.  From there, I expertly manage the most difficult part of the process: CONTRACT TO CLOSE.  This is where I manage the emotions, the logistics, the legalities, the personalities, and navigate the potholes (or boulders!) that often come into play during a transaction. I skillfully negotiate the sale until the successful closing, passionately protecting your hard-earned equity along the way. About me:
  • Prior to Real Estate I was a CWO2 in the US Marine Corps.  My 15+ years of Military service instilled in me drive, focus, mission accomplishment, determination, problem solving, and perseverance.
  • I started investing in real estate at 21 years old and became a licensed Realtor after retiring from the US Marine Corps
  • I have closed over 800 transactions over the last 24 years.  More notable than the number of properties sold is the varied types of properties sold.
  • My experience is broad and encompassing.  In addition to residential properties (houses and condos), I have experience selling luxury homes, lots, multi-units, investment properties, small businesses, mobile homes, and waterfront properties.
  When you work with an experienced Realtor who always keeps your best interest first  (ME! :)) ....  you will:
  • Be more likely to realize the highest return on the sale of your property
  • Reduce the number of days your home is on the market
  • Become familiar with all the terms, processes and paperwork involved in selling your house
  • Have confidence that your home will enjoy exposure to more buyers and agents with qualified buyers
  • Receive regularly updated market information that will enable you to make informed decisions
  • Have a skilled negotiator working on your behalf
  • Have peace of mind knowing that all the details of your sale are being handled properly by a licensed and trained professional
