Business Philosophy
When choosing an agent to represent you in what will probably be the most important financial event in your life, choose someone who knows what has to be done after the "FOR SALE" sign is in your yard, or you're ready to put an offer in on a property.  I coach buyers on what to say and what NOT to say during assisted showings.  I'll isten to the agent representing the other side and ask key questions that can give my buyers and sellers an advantage resulting in $1000's price swings.  My philosophy?  "The person who wants the deal to happen the least has the most power" 

New Construction?

If you're thinking about building your dream house, give me a call.  Bedford, NH has long been considered the place to build for professionals who want be sure their investment is sound.  Located 10-15 minutes from Manchester Boston Regional Airport and a one hour drive from Boston, the sea coast and the lakes region, it's location makes it the "HUB" of southern NH.  Partly because of it's location, property values held up better in Bedford than in surrounding towns during the recent downturn.

If you're considering a custom home or contracting with one under construction, be sure you're properly prepared for what to expect.  The agent you select to represent your interest WILL make all the difference in the world.  You don't want to stroll into a local real estate office and say to the person who’s manning the front desk, “We’re interested in a new construction in town.” (YOU can’t see what happens next, but the real estate agent is screaming and pumping their fists in the air screaming, “YES, YES, YES”) All YOU see is a big smile and all YOU hear is, “Oh wonderful. Why don’t you come in here and let’s take a look at what we have.” It’s what I call, “The blind leading the blind.” How do YOU think this experience will go? True story… I had a piece of land listed. I was walking the lot with the buyer and the buyers’ agent and was asked by the buyers’ agent what I thought of a builder. The agent used the first name of one local builder and the last name of another local builder. Then she asked if she could drive her young son to my office to use out rest room. She apologized and hurried off to avoid an accident, not to be seen the rest of the visit. Your buyers’ agent is making a fair sum of money to represent you and provide the experience you don’t have. Make sure he or she is knowledgeable enough to be representing your interest.  You don't want someone that collects their commission and disappears.   I'll be with you thru the close sharing my hands on experience.
