Sellers and Buyers

The value a Realtor brings in the transfer of real estate is significantly misunderstood.  Without a Realtor involved most sellers sell for less (avg 16%) and buyers often misunderstand contract fine print or over look some criteria that they regret later.  While these things can still happen with a Realtor involved the incidence is much less frequent.

I am a full service real estate consultant (see list of services below).  I’ve personally bought and sold over a hundred properties locally and invested both domestically and internationally.  As a Realtor I was in the top 3% of all list & sell agents in 2008.

More importantly, I put your objectives first and go at your pace.  I still remember working with a Realtor who did not care about me when I bought my first house at 27.  I never want to be THAT Realtor! 

That means professional, experienced, representation you can rely on.  Keller Williams just won the JD Power and Associates award for “Highest Satisfaction for Home Buyers Among National Full Service Real Estate Firms”, Two Years in a Row!
