- Description
- "YOUR HOME IS MY LIFE'S WORK."
MY BACKGROUND
As a native Baltimorean whose family has been a part of the Southeast Baltimore community for over 100 years, I love the unique characteristics of the city that make it such a delightful place to live. No other city offers Baltimore's distinctive mix of history, arts, culture, and tradition.
My love of the city extends beyond its borders to other parts of the state. From the rustic beauty of Western Maryland, to the metropolitan lifestyle of the Central Region, to the sun and fun of the Eastern Shore, this area offers something for everyone.
WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER
My goal is to provide you with sufficient facts, information, and encouragement to make and follow through with an informed decision and facilitate the transaction to a successful conclusion.
BUYERS
Many people assume that for them, buying a home is impossible. They believe they can never save enough for settlement costs or that they need perfect credit to qualify for a mortgage. The truth is that homeownership is not as difficult as most people think. Even if you're not ready to buy right now, I can help you learn the facts about homeownership and be there to help when you are ready.
SELLERS
The product vs. commodity concept is a paradigm shift and one of the major points of difference between me and my competitors in how real estate is marketed. (paradigm shift = change in one's basic assumptions about or approach to something)
Most sellers believe real estate should be treated as if it were a product. With a product the seller establishes the price and there is a direct relationship to advertising and the marketing of that product. The seller or manufacturer establishes the cost of the product, based on packaging, promotion/ advertising costs, etc. and the public either buys the product or it does not.
Real Estate is NOT a PRODUCT.
It is a COMMODITY.
It is the buyer who establishes value and there is no relationship to advertising. Real estate is like a stock - IBM never stops trading, it's the buying public who pushes the price of IBM up or down every day of the week. It's not a question of what the seller wants or has to get, it's the buyer's perception of value that determines whether your home sells or it doesn't.
There is one big difference between real estate and other commodities and that is that real estate is an emotional purchase -buyers fall in love with your home, but they don't fall in love with IBM. It's that emotionality that causes people to want what they can't have, pushing prices up. In summary - with a commodity it's the price point which creates positive or negative energy - turning the buyers on or off. It is my responsibility to turn buyers ON!

TESTIMONIALS
"Could not have asked for a better realtor with whom to work. He was expert in the field and hard working. In addition, he was very responsive to my personal style and how I wanted to be kept up to date on the progress of our search for a property and completion of the purchase. This was especially important because the purchase, a short sale, was a very long process [due to circumstances outside our control]. Would use him again and have recommended him to others." -D. Pollack
"Strong moral character, very detailed, punctual, expert in his field and very hard working." -L. Tomas
"I moved to Baltimore from out of state. I didn't know much about the city. I started with another agent who was not interested in helping me with my wants and needs. She didn't listen. I was very discouraged. I was referred to Tony and he was great. He's very knowledgeable about real estate and Baltimore. He took the time to listen to what I wanted and helped deliver. He's very professional and offers excellent guidance and advice when it's requested. I highly recommend him and tell everyone who expresses any interest in real estate that I know a great agent! I'd refer him to anyone." -C. Biles
