Delivering More Home For You and How We are Different

How do I do it?

I negotiate for you! So you pay the lowest possible price when you buy. In most cases, I can save you thousands of dollars in the negotiation! This not only includes settling on an excellent sale price, but it also means arranging the best mortgage terms, reducing your closing costs, and getting the home seller to throw in extras and or pay for repairs.

Getting Started

For most, choosing a new home is the biggest financial decision they will ever make. To protect your interests it’s important that you have an agent who’s there for you, and can reduce the anxiety related to the home buying process.

As your agent, my focus is getting you the best possible home at the best possible price. I will work hard not only in finding you potential homes to see, but also in keeping you informed of every step along the way. I’ll negotiate the best prices and terms for you and answer all of your questions as they arise. I’ll be representing you, not the seller. This assures that my experience and expertise in the local market will be used in your best interests during the negotiation process.

I’ll do everything I can to take the stress out of your home buying experience. Including helping you find the right lender, inspector, appraiser, and all the other service providers that make for a smooth and worry-free transaction.

Whether you are a first-time buyer or real estate veteran, I’m ready to help you answer all your questions about the home-buying experience.

For First-Time Buyers

Your decision to buy a home is a sound financial decision and admirable pursuit.
As your real estate professional, I will:

• Provide you with detailed listing information not available to the general public.
• Negotiate your deal to save you money.
• Guide you through the avalanche of paperwork.
• Commit my time and energy to find the home that is right for you.
• Work at no cost to you.

I’m here to help you and also to be a guide along the way. Remember, this is supposed to be fun and enjoyable!
