So here’s the part where I brag about how great I am, how I am a “people person,” how I’m all about great service, how I’m available 24/7.
Yada, yada, yada.
Is it true? Of course…well, except for that 24/7 thing, ‘cuz face it, if you call me at 3 a.m., I’m not answering. Ever.
Yes, I am a “Top Producer,” according to the local REALTOR association. Oh, and a REALTOR, of course, which means I abide by a long list of rules and regulations that mere mortal agents don’t have to abide by.
But let’s be honest, shall we? Do you care so much about that?
Sure, you want to be sure I am a licensed, bona fide agent – and yes, I am. You can always check with my broker, LONG & FOSTER REALTORS at 400 King Street in Alexandria, if you have any questions about that. (The phone number is 703-683-0400). You more than likely want to be assured I have actually sold a house or two in my career, which is completely understandable. I can even show you which ones. (And if you click on “What Others Say About Me” you can get an idea of what a few of my previous clients have had to say about my services).
You are probably much more interested in how my education and experience help you buy, rent or sell a house, though.
You will benefit from my extensive background in marketing (a B.S. in Marketing as well as 20+ years marketing experience) because it means I know just how, when and where to promote your home for sale. And my real estate experience means I know how to advise you on condition and price.
Hopefully you will be impressed with my work ethic which holds me in great stead while working those 14 hour days (sorry, still not answering the phone at 3 a.m.) finding just the perfect home for you or perfect buyer for your home.
And, finally, my sense of humor allows me to finesse a lot of difficult situations, which means a smoother, less stressful transaction for you. And the negotiation skills I’ve honed over the years? Well, they translate into a better bottom line for you.
So, in a nutshell, what’s my mission statement?
I am here to help you through the sometimes confusing, sometimes stressful, sometimes harried, often baffling, process of buying or selling a home.
I am here to provide guidance, advice, resources and expert knowledge, from finding a qualified, competent lender or home inspector, to finding the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood for you or finding the qualified buyer for whom your house is THE ONE.
From negotiating a contract to getting through the home inspection and getting to the settlement table with your checkbook and sanity in check, all along the way, I’ll help you avoid the landmines and pitfalls the process can unexpectedly present.
Whew. That’s a mouthful, but then again, there is a lot to the process of buying or selling a house.
I’m here to help. Let me know what I can do for you.
