About Us

• With the complexity of real estate transactions today, the disclosures that are required, security concerns, and so much more, using a Realtor to sell a home is just the wise thing to do.
  
  A professional Realtor will take care of all the functions that sellers simply can not do or only accomplish with great difficulty.
  
  Marketing
  A Realtor will place your listing in a the multiple listing service, where all agents in the market will see it, but that's only the start. We will work with you to market your home, both to consumers and the real estate community. Marketing strategies may include flyers, online exposure, "Just Listed" notices and networking with other Realtors.
  
  Pricing
  We will compare prices of recently sold homes in your area, consider features unique to your home, and use all of our expertise in helping you to arrive at the right price to get your home sold in a timely fashion. We will provide a Comparative Market Analysis at No Cost to you. We will keep both sellers and buyers realistic in regards to actual market conditions.
  
  Locating and Qualifying Buyers
  When you list with a Realtor, it increases the odds that the right buyer will discover your home. We will make sure that any body that visits your home will be a qualified buyer. We will manage the showing process, so you don't have to.
  
  Negotiating
  Selling a home is very emotional. A Realtor serves as a buffer between the buyer and the seller and takes much of the emotion out of the sales process. In addition, Sellers that use a Realtor, traditionally receive a higher price than those that try to sell it themselves.
  
  Managing the transaction
  Are you aware of the legal requirements as to what you must disclose?
  Do you know what escrow is?
  What about earnest money?
  Do you know how to write a sales contract?
  Realtors know the answer to all these questions and know exactly what tasks to perform at what time in order to keep the transaction progressing effectively.
