Why Me

1. Education

You don’t need to know everything about buying and selling real estate if you hire me as your real estate professional. For the most part, we all cost about the same. Why not hire a person with more education? We’re all looking for more precious time in our lives, and hiring pros gives us that time.

2. Experience

Over 12 years of real estate experience and continue to strive for more. Why not hire an agent with more experience?

3. Neighborhood Knowledge

I possess intimate knowledge and I know where to find the industry buzz about your neighborhood. I can identify comparable sales and hand these facts to you, in addition to pointing you in the direction where you can find more data on schools, crime or demographics.

4. Price Guidance

Contrary to what some people believe, agents do not select prices for sellers or buyers. However, I will help to guide all my clients to make the right choices for themselves.

5. Market Conditions Information

As your real estate agent I can provide information about the market conditions, which will govern your selling or buying process. Many factors determine how you will proceed. Data such as the average per square foot cost of similar homes, median and average sales prices, average days on market and ratios of list-to-sold prices, among other criteria, will have a huge bearing on what you ultimately decide to do.

6. Professional Networking

I network with other professionals, many of whom provide services that you will need to buy or sell a home. I do know which vendors have a reputation for efficiency, competency and competitive pricing. I can give you a list of references of professionals with whom I have worked with to help you make a wise selection.

7. Negotiation Skills & Confidentiality

As your real estate agent, my goal is to provide you with an elite negotiation reliable local market information, and around the clock responsiveness. In addition to my negotiating skills, I have expansive knowledge of the Hampton Roads real estate market. I crunch numbers every day looking at comparable sales in the various cities of Virginia which I service. So with me you will always know where you stand in the marketplace

8. Handling Volumes of Paperwork

Today’s purchase agreements run 10 pages or more. That does not include the federal- and state-mandated disclosures nor disclosures dictated by local custom. Most real estate files average thicknesses from one to three inches of paper. One tiny mistake or omission could land you in court or cost you thousands. I will handle every aspect of your real estate transaction.

9. Answer Questions After Closing

Even the smoothest transactions that close without complications can come back to haunt. For example, taxing authorities that collect property tax assessments, doc stamps or transfer tax can fall months behind and mix up invoices, but one call to your agent can straighten out the confusion. Many questions can pop up that were overlooked in the excitement of closing. Worthy and honest agents don’t leave you in the dust to fend for yourself. I stand by always ready to assist you.

10. Develop Relationships for Future Business

The basis for my success and continued career in real estate are referrals. This emphasis gives me strong incentives to make certain clients are happy and satisfied. I will be there for you when you need to hire me again.
