Be patient, the market can be very competitive at times. The right home will come along. Also, get pre-approved with an experienced lender to avoid any pitfalls during escrow.

Price your property correctly to avoid a stale listing. Also, prepare the property before listing it to make it look its best. I always walk through the home with my sellers and give recommendations before the home hits the market.

First-time home buyers, move-up buyers, REO, investors

I recently helped a first-time home buyer buy their first time. They had been renting for many years and didn't realize home ownership was even a possibility. I was so happy and proud to be able to turn over the keys.

I got my license at a time with other agents were getting out of the business. I knew if I could sell in that market, I could sell in any market. Boy, was I right!

Financial planning to educate my clients in making smart decisions in buying and selling. Also, home staging for sellers.
