Certifications

I specialize in the following areas:

First Time Home Buyers -  I enjoy helping people negotiate the many steps of buying their first home.  From the first step of obtaining funding all the way through closing the sale with the key in hand. The purchase of a first home is a very intimidating process without an experienced realtor guiding the way. 

Estate Services - The most trying and difficult time for an elderly client or their family is when it becomes necessary to dispose of their estate due to death or incapicity.  I have experience working with clients who must settle estates and need a full service realtor to handle the details.  I have successfully helped many clients complete the task professionally and effeciently. 

Relocation Services -  I have also served clients in the military, law enforcement, fire services, business executives and pastors relocate to the area.  Many of my clients have relocated into the area due to their work or mandatory transfers beyond their control.  I have always sucessfully placed my relocation clients in homes which suit their needs and meet their criteria. 

Listing Services - I list homes in the upper to mid price ranges.  I use a specialized marketing plan to market my listings which has been very successful.  I use internet marketing extensively because most buyers shop the internet first.  My listings are featured on my web page, Coldwell Banker web page, National Coldwell Banker web page and Home Showcase Magazine.  I also post a virtual tour on all web sites for all of my listings as an additional service to my clients.
