About Me
I am a full time real estate agent. Actually, much more than full time. I work early mornings, evenings and weekends; whenever is convenient for my client. I love what I do, so quite often it really doesn’t feel like work. Don’t ever hesitate to call me, anytime!
My philosophy about real estate is that I am here to help two parties (buyer and seller) find each other and complete a transaction with a minimum of fuss and headache. I DO NOT believe in beating up the other party just because we’re on opposing teams.
Buying and selling homes are emotional experiences, and I don’t believe it is in the best interest of either party to make the other to feel bullied or abused. Some real estate agents feel that their job is to intimidate me and/or my client, seem to thrive on unnecessary confrontation. I believe this is counterproductive to the basic desires of both parties to sell, or to buy. Your real estate agent should not stand in the way!
I am an advocate for my clients. My job is to obtain the best price, terms and conditions for MY client, not to worry about the other parties’ preferences or feelings. But, I find that real estate transactions are far more satisfying to both parties when closing is a pleasant experience for everyone.
I am busy enough to be happy and successful, yet not so busy that I can’t take a personal interest in every client. The sale of your home is as important to me as it is to you. That is my commitment to you!
I truly appreciate your business, and I look forward to helping make your next real estate transaction a pleasant and painless experience, and hopefully even a little fun!
My Areas of Expertise
Contrary to popular belief, real estate agents can’t be all things to all people. It is impossible for one person to be the expert in every neighborhood and every type of property in all price ranges. I believe that I am hired for my expertise and that I should serve my clients with that expertise, not the other way around. YOU, the real estate buying or selling public, do not have the responsibility or obligation to further my education or to be used as a guinea pig just so that I get a paycheck.
Therefore, I feel strongly that I should be up front with potential clients about my strengths and experience. While I feel that I am an exceptional real estate agent even in areas where I am not the “expert”, I think it’s only fair that YOU have all the information you need to make a hiring decision.
Pioneer Valley
I KNOW Valley neighborhoods. I have lived in properties throughout the area, including Sunderland, Conway, Northampton, and Easthampton. During my career, I have sold homes in nearly every “charming Valley neighborhood.”
.
Investment (Rental) Property
Through the years I have specialized in rental properties and work with many investor clients looking for long term income-producing rentals.
Condominiums
Of the homes I have sold, 20% of them were condominiums or townhomes. I understand the special issues surrounding condominium sales and how to avoid the pitfalls that inevitably arise during the marketing and sale of townhomes and condos.
