Who am I?
I am a full time Associate Broker, who has been selling real estate across the Capital Region since 1996. I grew up in Delmar and I know the area’s real estate market like the back of my hand. I work exclusively by referral, which enables me to spend my time and energy serving clients, rather than wasting time constantly trying to procure new business.
Why do I sell real estate?
Real estate transactions are among the biggest financial decisions people make and I like being able to help my clients through the process. I like getting to know my clients and their goals and it makes me feel very satisfied when I can use my expertise and knowledge to better help them attain their goals.
And why should you work with me?
My clients appreciate my honest, no-hype manner. I am fully committed to helping my clients achieve their real estate goals and I work closely with them through every step of the process. I personally return all phone calls and emails quickly. I negotiate strongly on behalf of my clients – my highest priority is to get the best deal possible for the people I represent. I continue to work with my clients long after the closing, whether it is helping them find a reputable contractor to do a home repair, a mortgage broker to re-finance their home – I am always available to offer advice and service.
Some statistics to back up my claims….
2009 closed deals where I represented the buyer: Buyers have saved an average of over 13% from the original list price of the house. Three buyers saved over 20% and two buyers saved over 25% ($103,000 and $105,000, respectively) - that's quite a savings!
2009 closed deals where I represented the seller: The average sale price to list price ratio for homes I sold (representing the seller) in 2009 was 98.02%. The MLS average was 95.60%. That translates into an extra $7,260 to the seller on the sale of a $300,000 home! The average days on market for the listings I sold last year, where I was representing the seller, was 41 days. The MLS average for 2009 was 98 days.
Bottom line, there are real estate agents who do more business than I do, agents who spend more money promoting themselves and that's ok. I would rather have fewer, happier clients than more clients who I am not representing to the best of my abilities. I value the personal relationships I form with my clients and I am committed to working as hard for them as I would if they were friends or family members. There are part-time agents who dabble in real estate, without ever doing enough to generate a true expertise. My clients get a "perfect" combination of experience, knowledge and individual attention. |
