When choosing the Realtor® you would like to represent you in your purchase, it is important to find out how each Realtor's experience can assist you in your goals. I choose to represent buyers primarily because of the satisfaction I get in helping my clients find their dream home.

I search the MLS daily for all new listings, as well as pocket listings, so that I can help find my clients' dream homes. You can browse my recently sold homes and see that the majority were my buyers' purchases.

A buyer's representative has many responsibilities that a listing agent does not. The buyer's agent is expected to assist the buyer in finding a home, as well as many tasks after the contract has been accepted. The buyer's agent arranges to hire the companies that complete investigations on the property. This includes, but is not limited to, Pest Report, Home Inspection, Chimney Inspection, Sewerline Inspection, Mold and Asbestos Inspection, Title Reports and Natural Hazard Disclosures. An experienced buyer representative knows how to identify potential problems, even while showing a home for the first time. They also assist the buyer in finding a lender or mortgage broker and communicating with that person from day one, ensuring that the escrow process moves along and closes timely. I work well with first-time buyers, and I am patient in explaining every step of the process to ensure the buyers' comfort.

I am constantly seeking to improve my knowledge, keeping up to date with current real estate issues and news. In order to assist my buyers to the best of my ability, I was recently certified as an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®).

ACCREDITED BUYER REPRESENTATION
The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®) designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. This coveted designation is awarded to real estate practitioners by the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council (REBAC) of the National Association of REALTORS® who meet the specified educational and practical experience criteria. The ABR designation is geared towards agents who wish to enhance their buyer representation skills, and provides proof to prospective buyer-clients of their proficiency at servicing the special needs of buyers.

I am also Quality Service Certified (QSC®). What does this mean to you?
While you expect your real estate agent to "get results", there's more to a real estate transaction than the sale or purchase… a lot more. And working with an agent who is reliable, accountable, responsive and one who pays attention to the details can make all the difference.

A Quality Service Certified® Real Estate Professional:

  • Commits to communicating and following a proven service process
  • Provides a Guarantee of service performance
  • Agrees to have his or her service evaluated, following each closing, through a customer satisfaction survey administered by Leading Research Corporation
  • Survey results and the record of past clients' satisfaction are available to prospective clients. This means that for the first time you have the ability to identify the capabilities and the service performance record of a real estate practitioner from a qualitative rather than just a quantitative perspective.

After all, what is most important is not how many homes someone has sold, but rather how well service was provided and the level of satisfaction in each service experience. Offers greater accountability which naturally translates into better service.
