There are aspects of real estate sales that seem pretty simple and it is for that reason, I think, many people seem to get into it. Once they find it is a hard job, they leave as they were in it for the quick buck, not because they like the profession. It involves listening to what you want, knowing the inventory and being skillful and knowledgeable in negotiating the sales process to it's successful conclusion.Once you have bought or sold a home you know it may seem simple, but it is often not easy. Having an experienced professional like me, makes the process less daunting and more predictable for success.The process is simple, it is just not often easy or stress free. Having lived here for 30 years, I know our area well. Working in the industry for 20 years as an agent, broker, and investor I know where most of the pitfalls lie.Put experience on your side in obtaining the home or investment of your choice. I will negotiate for the best possible price and terms for you.
There are many elements of a smooth transaction, however, there are many components to this that can make it seem very complicated and daunting.

I earned the special designation of Senior Real Estate Specialist ( SRES) by the Senior Advantage Real Estate Council. This allows me to specialize in assisting seniors who need advice about their homes and rental properties. With this certification, I am able to help seniors make decisions about selling the family home, buying rental property, managing capital gains and estate tax implications of owning real estate, reverse mortgage, and other issues.
