FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Hire an agent who’s smarter than the internet—someone who brings you opportunities you may have missed, helps you mitigate risk and ensures you maintain the negotiation high ground throughout the process. This agent would know exactly how much is too much to offer and how much is too little...
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
The day of being a solo agent is dead. It’s unfeasible for a single agent to expertly manage all the intricate aspects of selling your home. We hire individuals and partners who are experts in each stage of the home selling process.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I've personally been on all sides of real estate transactions, as a real estate agent, investor, as an adviser and general counsel and developer.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
The clients who choose to work with us are typically big-picture thinkers. They're focused on their bottom line—the net proceeds from the sale—rather than just the commission rate. They understand that homes fail to sell for one of two reasons: pricing or exposure. They value the fact that we invest in a creative agency to run targeted ads directing buyers to their property’s custom webpage and that we partner with a professional media company to ensure the home is presented at the highest level.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
Through investing and searching the clerk of courts for foreclosures back in 1994 and 1995.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Licensed since 1996, with years of experience and thousands of closed successful transactions along with 100's of 5 Star Reviews.
