| Better Service...

| for Better Results

When I say I will devote my time to satisfying your real estate needs I mean business. My unbridled passion for excellence is just one of the many ways my successful track record as a real estate agent has evolved. My role in every real estate transaction has benefited my "family" of many satisfied clients.
As a Broker with RE/MAX Advantage Plus, I'll be happy to guide and assist you and your family through all phases of buying or selling your home. Let me go to work for you... because I know better service yields better results.
I have experience in all phases of real estate, including the development of unimproved sites, and new home construction. I am thoroughly familiar with applicable land use law and building codes. I utilize the most up-to-date information technology in order to "work smarter" in real estate. I continue to provide real estate services to:
- First time home buyers
- Buyers
- Sellers
- Investors
It may matter more who manages the sale of your home than who actually brings the buyer. And, it may matter more through whom you purchase your home than whose home you decide to purchase.
I will put the RE/MAX network to work for you. I can help you buy any home that is for sale in our market--regardless of whose name is on the For Sale Sign. I will use the proven RE/MAX marketing techniques to help you get the best possible price as quickly as possible.

Over the years I've learned many truisms.
Here are some words of caution I like to pass on to my sellers.

|
| Top 10 List of People Whose Advice You Should Avoid When Selling Your Home |
| Avoid People Who: |
| 1. Don’t know YOUR marketplace.
|
| 2. Haven’t taken time to thoroughly inspect your property.
|
| 3. Don’t know your circumstances in DETAIL... goals, timetable,
motivation, etc. |
| 4. Like or love you but don’t approach your situation objectively or
knowledgeably. |
| 5. Will tell you what you want to hear but don’t have the facts or
data that would help you make a more realistic decision. |
| 6. Will always have a better DEAL you could have or should have
gotten.
|
| 7. Talk too much...but never seem to listen. If one doesn’t really
know your problem, how can they have the BEST solution?
|
| 8. Always bad-mouth others but bring nothing concrete to the
table themselves.
|
| 9. Can’t show you a logical, detailed action plan that addresses
your situation.
|
| 10. Have no proven track record for results comparable to those
you want or need.
