What can I do for you today?
Please call me with all of your real estate questions, present and future!
I have 19 years of experience preparing properties for sale, advising on what to do and what NOT to do to prepare your home for sale, a proven marketing plan that has sold more homes than 99+% of all other agents, a track record of negotiating the highest possible sales price for you.
The buyers that I have been fortunate enough to work for have bought for low prices, have had their offers accepted in multiple offer situations (while other buyers were wondering why their offers weren't accepted.)
I have happy clients that you can talk to that have been safely guided through the transactional and legal pitfals of the real estate transaction.
What I can help you with as a homeowner:
--Negotiating the highest possible sales price (my clients sell for an average of 4%-6% higher list-price-to-sale-price than other homes on the MLS)
--Walking through your home to determine what the options are for maximizing your home's value, and going over those items together to see what is
best for you to do or NOT to do in your situation
--Determine your home's current market value, including as-is vs possible minor fix-ups
--Keep you up-to-date on your home's current market value during changing markets
--Selling your home "as-is" and weighing the pros and cons of each side
--Preparing your home for sale and handling all of the details, including arranging for, scheduling, and directing:
hauling, moving, cleaning, landscaping, handyman repairs, contractor repairs, hardwood floor refinishing,
new carpet installation, painting, electrical, plumbing, termite repairs, roof, etc.
--Scheduling all inspections including property, termite, roof, chimney, pool
--Keeping your house as a rental--discussing the pros and cons, providing the best up-to-date forms
--1031 tax deferred exchanges
--Current home value in a changing market
--Understanding and guiding us smoothly through the escrow process
--Free Tax and Estate market evaluations (appraisals or "opinions of value")
--Connections with the other top agents
--Coordinating your move-out dates and any needed time to stay after close of escrow
As a buyer:
