When the need arises to buy or sell a home, there are many decisions to be made, including whether or not to enlist the services of a real estate agent. With the advent of the internet, it is relatively easy to research properties, investigate market conditions and find most any type of information you need to purchase or sell a home. On the other hand, a home is probably the single largest purchase or sale you will make in your lifetime; does it not make sense to "play it safe" by hiring a professional Realtor to assist you with this transaction?
Choosing the right Realtor can, and should be, a detailed process. There are thousands of Realtors out there; some part time, some because they need something to fill their time, others who do the job as a hobby, and maybe a few who thought it was a way to make a quick buck. Purchasing or selling a home is a serious financial move that requires the services of someone that dediactes their full time efforts to providing you with the professional consulting services necessary to complete the transaction.
There is a lot more to this process than what appears on the surface. In the background of the sale process is mortgage lending, real estate title service, appraisal, property survey and more. Over the past 19 years, I have accumulated experience in every one of these areas, providing me with an invaluable knowledge base of the entire process. My background includes that of a partner of a real estate title company for 3 years, 10 years in the banking industry and 6 years as a licensed Realtor.
As a life long residnt of Lorain County, the last 14 years in Amherst, I have a very thorough knowledge of the areas market condition, it's benefits, and it's shortfalls. I am very active in the community, serving as Chairman of the Amherst Design Review Board, Chairman of the Economic Revitilation Committee for Main Street Amherst, volunteer football coach at the local junior high school, and a strong supporter of the area girls and boys youth baseball and softball teams, the high school boys baseball team and the girls high school basketball team.
Before you make the decision to buy or sell, please take the time to give me a call. The advise and consultation is free and it is without any sales pressure. Once we talk, if you choose to work with me, that's great! If you decide to pass on my services, that's okay, too. I'm here to help you in any way I can.
