People don't talk about it a lot. But finding the right real estate professional can be the difference between a happy, stress-free home buying or selling experience, and an unhappy, stressful experience.

•  First, you'll want me to be ready and able to make a full-time commitment to you. I can and will do that because real estate is my full-time career.
• Second, you'll want an agent with experience needed to know the local neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, ordinances, ect. With my years of experience in the local market - I have the expertise and track record of success you need.
• Third, you'll want an agent who embraces the convenience of technology without losing the personal touch. You'll love the resources available on my website and the e-mail alerts that I send, but these will never replace the time I spend with you, serving as you personal guide through this exciting process.

In the least amount of time possible, I will get you the best price on a home that is perfectly suited to your needs and lifestyle, not just today, but for years to come.

When listing your home, as your ASP, Accredited Staging Professional, let me advise you not only on pricing your home, but on how to sell your space and not your clutter! One of the first things I will do before putting your house on the market is prepare your house to sell. I want to show your house off in its best light to maximize your earning potential. I will tour your house with the eye of a buyer - what works, what doesn't work.

Also, I am Certified by the National Association of Realtors, as an SFR, Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource Certified for helping Sellers and/or Buyers through the Short Sale & Foreclosure process which is essential as a source of expertise in today's Buying and Selling market.

 I have successfully completed the E-PRO internet training program. This is a must when choosing a Real Estate professional that knows how to use technology and what today's consumer really wants. It is the only internet certification that is endorsed by the National Association of Realtors.

That means determining how much money you can raise for your down payment and how much you can afford to pay on a monthly basis. Go to a lender to find out the size of mortgage you qualify for and get pre-approved. Better yet, find a mortgage broker to find you the best mortgage rate possible. When calculating the costs of home ownership, remember to plan for homeowner's insurance, property taxes, private mortgage insurance (if required) utilities, repairs, and maintainance.

 Let's get together and talk about your buying and/or selling plans. Call me on my cell phone or send me an e-mail and we'll set-up a time that is easy and convenient for you to meet or answer any questions you may have!

P.S. If your're not ready to meet in person or talk on the phone, please tour my wesite. I'm sure you'll find the resources here useful and helpful. Enjoy!
