I believe there is more to selling a home then just putting a sign in the yard and entering the homes information into the MLS.

Besides belonging to the our local multiple listing services, (35000 Realtors), I advertise in the local home guides, the local newspapers, magazines and offer the following additional services:

I will visit your home and will give you my honest opinion as to its marketability and its condition as well as provide you with a FREE Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). I will also offer suggestions to make your home more marketable. I am an expert in marketing homes and often have inexpensive ways to assist in making your home more presentable.

I am very well versed and a strong believer in the internet and will display your home on over 13 internet sites. This I feel is very important to my clients because over 60% of our local area buyers come from out of the area and without this exposure they would be missing out on this market. In 2004 78% or all home buyers reported that they viewed their home on the internet before setting the appointment to see the house.

1 also believe in marketing to the neighbors both via flyers and personal visits because 20% of our area buyers come from referrals from friends or family members that live within (he same neighborhood!.

I make sure and speak with your buyers loan officer before you accept an offer. There are far too many deals that fall apart due to buyer financing problems.

When buying a home:  

As an Accredited Buyers Representative I believe in finding my clients their dream home and not just any home. I understand the anxiety of the new home owner and try my best to make sure that they truly love the house that they are buying and not just settling for a house because they are anxious.

I will sit down and explain the entire buying process with my clients, from mortgages, attorneys, home inspections to closings and the title companies role. I believe there is more to being a professional Realtor then simply finding your client a home and I personally work with my clients through every step of the buying process.

I make sure that every buyer gets prequalified with a mortgage company before we go out looking. It can be a real heartbreaker to allow a buyer to fall in love with a home and later find out that he or she can not afford it and has been shopping above their means.

As a full time agent, I offer my clients around the clock service. With many two income families these days, I understand the need to make myself available to my clients at all hours, including evenings and weekends.

I can provide my clients with the latest neighborhood statistics with comparisons on everything from schooling to average family incomes.

I will market your home as per the above guidelines and at any time in the future if you are not happy with my services, I ask that you call me and give me 48 hours to correct the situation. If the situation is not corrected you may cancel our listing agreement. A written cancellation request is necessary.
