 BUYERS

BRING EASE AND ASSURANCE TO PROCESS

Searching for and buying the right home can be an overwhelming process. Although this is a wonderful time to purchase property and inventory is high, there are many questions and factors to consider before making an offer. Let my expertise, architectural background, and near thirty-plus years of regional knowledge help you make a well-informed decision. My honed negotiating skills will help you obtain your dream house at a price that is right for you and the current market conditions.

To assure the highest level of service, I employ a full-time buyer's assistant whose sole purpose is to work hand-in-hand researching the market, personally viewing all available properties in your areas of interest to identify homes that meet your specific criteria.

THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE

My extensive architectural background and renovation experience provide me with the unique understanding of a home's potential value. I can also highlight the overlooked liabilities a home can possess. Add to this my in-depth knowledge of the region and its various neighborhoods and you can be assured I will make an astute valuation of your home selection and use this during our negotiations.

Over the course of nearly 30 years, I have written and negotiated hundreds of transactions for both buyers and sellers. My intimate understanding of both sides of the process stems from these experiences. Combine this with the insight and personal relationships I have built within the local real estate community and you'll be assured a strong and knowledgeable position from which to place an offer and negotiate.

SERVICE AFTER THE SALE

Guiding clients through the process of finding a home is a highly rewarding experience for me, matched only by helping them maintain and enhance their investment. For that reason, I am always available for free consultations on matters involving your home. Whether it is a cost/benefit analysis of a remodeling project, or how best to handle tricky repairs, my experience is always at your service. I look forward to working with you now, during and after the purchase or sale of your property.
