Choosing a Good Realtor!

How does one choose a good Realtor? There is a difference between an agent and a Realtor. a Realtor belongs to the National, State and a Local Association of Realtors. A Realtor must abide by the National Association's code of ethics. We have a good monitoring process if a Realtor does not abide the code of ethics.  An agent is one who has a license but does not belong to the National, State and Local Association.  They are not bound by our strict code of ethics unless they belong and are in violation of their Multiple Listing Service . In California the consumer should  check the validity of the Realtor's license before working with them. The public can go to the Department of Real Estate's website to check any agent's license. I always check to see if an agent has a license before I write an offer. As of July 1st, all agents whether they are a Realtor or not will be required to place their DRE license number on their business cards and other marketing materials. Below is a little bit about me.

I received my Salespersons license in 1984 and with much further education received my Broker's license in 1989.  I am constantly taking consumer protection classes in order to protect my clients. I currently holds six designations . Prior to working with Kane & Associates, I was part owner of a small Alameda real estate company, worked with two Alameda real estate companies and a prominent Bay Area Franchise.  I have extensive real estate experience in sales, negotiating, technical skills, management, marketing and training other REALTORS®.  I give the best service to my clientele. I stay in constant communication before and after the transaction closes escrow. I have been a State Director for the California Association of Realtors® since 1993 and continue to be active in Local Real Estate Associations. This keeps me updated with Real Estate Laws, Regulations, and Contracts.

 The decisions we make today will determine our future, and I want to help my clients make the right decisions and find the perfect home or investment property. I take great pride in my dedication to high quality service and commitment to my clients.
