In our high stakes market, selling a home can be a daunting project. The agent representing you will have an impact on how well you ultimately do or not do. You're looking for a partner to help you negotiate the complexities of selling a home. Our experience, dedication and strong communication skills will help ensure the successful and profitable sale of your home.

Helping find a buyer for your home is only one facet of a real estate professional’s job. There are many more aspects including explaining the basic real estate practices and principles and all the related paperwork, performing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to help determine your home’s value, helping to prepare your home for sale, listing your home, staging your home, marketing your home, and keeping you informed throughout the process. As your partner, we will assist you with all documentation, negotiate on your behalf, make sure deadlines are met, and work with the escrow company to bring the transaction to a successful close.

By working with us, you will:

  • Be more likely to realize the highest return on the sale of your home
  • Reduce the number of days your home is on the market
  • Become familiar with all the terms, processes and paperwork involved in selling your home
  • Have confidence that your home will enjoy exposure to more buyers and agents with qualified buyers
  • Receive regularly updated market information that will enable you to make informed decisions
  • Have two highly skilled negotiators working on your behalf
  • Have peace of mind knowing that all the details of your sale are being handled properly licensed and trained professionals
