Real Estate Philosophy

• No surprises at the closing table!
• I am a firm believer in creating expense sheets at every stage of negotiation so that the seller always has a good idea of what the bottom line will be.
• Houses sell themselves!
• No pressure sales. . . my job is to help the buyer find the right house for them and not stop until that is done.
• Manage the transaction after the sale.
• Selling the house is the easy thing. Making sure it closes requires monitoring the transaction carefully at each phase!
• For Sellers: You expect service and I understand that! My job is to get your house sold and for the best price possible, whatever it takes!
