Buyers

As Your Agent, I Will:

• Assure that you are aware of all the properties in the area that meet your criteria, and make arrangements to tour those homes.
• Guide you through the entire home buying process, from finding homes to look at, to getting the best financing.
• Make sure you don't pay too much for your new home and help you avoid costly mistakes.
• Answer all of your questions about the local market area, including schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.

For your convenience, I can provide automated listings by email, based on your search criteria and areas of interest. I am always available for personal service by phone or email, so please contact me with whatever questions you may have.

As an Accredited Buyer's Representative, I have completed specialized training in protecting and promoting my buyer-clients' interests. Agents with an ABR designation are also required to demonstrate proven experience in representing buyers, and must commit to maintaining their professional edge by staying current on the latest issues and trends in buyer representation.

When you work with me, you will be served, not sold. Your interests will become my interests, and I'll make your home buying experience go as smoothly and successfully as possible.

Sellers

If you are planning to sell your home, please consider my services as a Realtor. My fees are low, but my marketing of your home is aggressive, extensive, and effective. I'm an experienced, multi-million dollar producer, and I know what it takes to get your home sold.

I will provide the following marketing services:

Multiple Listing Service
Pricing & Staging Consultation - professional insight to help you maximize your profits
Professional-quality, 12-megapixel high-resolution digital photography
Flyer box with full-color, 2-sided glossy flyers
Web & DVD Virtutal Tour - interactive / full screen / 360 degree views / state-of-the-art
Advertising in The Real Estate Book - reaching more qualified home buyers than any other print medium
Enhanced Showcase Listing on Realtor.com
Exposure on hundreds of national and local websites
Dedicated website, with a specific URL address for your home
Broker's Open House & Westside Property Tour
Public Open Houses, at your request
Supra electronic lockbox - allowing convenient Realtor access and advanced security
Relay Online Real Estate - providing you 24/7 access to the details, paperwork, and progress of your transaction

That's only the beginning of what I offer. I spend the extra time, money, and resources to market and sell your house properly. More exposure often means a quicker sale and a higher price (exactly our goal).

I will also provide full service during the listing period, providing expertise and advice during negotiations, handling all paperwork, communicating with lenders, appraisers, inspectors, and escrow agents, and attending your closing.

Please call me direct at (503) 380-2524. I'll market and sell your home the right way.
