PASSION IS WHAT SETS US APART
I’m passionate about what I do. And it shows in the level of perfection I bring to the table in marketing your home. When you are ready to sell your home, I want to be your broker of choice. These five ingredients of a successful real estate transaction are what sets me and my team apart from the rest:
Why it matters to you: When agents compete by offering sales numbers, the main objective is to get a signed listing agreement. This competition often results in overpricing and later price reductions. The delay in pricing correctly from the start means the home gets fewer showings, and can sit until the seller price reduces. Ultimately, the delay means a lower price and less money for the seller.
A better approach is to hire your agent based on their knowledge, credibility, and likability. Then, have a conversation about how to price your home.
Why it matters to you: An agent needs to understand your “why” and have an understanding of the big picture to truly guide you. Why are you moving, what are your goals, aspirations, and “must-haves?
Why it matters to you: When I represent you, you'll benefit from my wealth of real estate experience and being able to always make deals come together. I’ve represented clients through every kind of scenario, from suburban downsizers and first-time and move-up buyers to taking care of the needs of my client’s children or their parents, including managing their parent’s estates, and transition moves, to short sales, job loss, divorce, short sales, and foreclosures.
Why it matters to you: The marketing of your home should draw buyers in and allow them to feel what it would be like to live there. It's’ so much more than a vanilla laundry list of the finishes. The photography, videos, and written words combine with the pricing and description to create a compelling first impression, tell a story, and establish urgency and demand for the home.
Why it matters to you: To have a successful real estate experience requires the coordination of a lot of moving parts and a group of professionals who work together to get to the closing table.
