WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME
THE AGENT WHO PUTS YOUR FIRST

The same applies to hiring a real estate agent and that’s what … (10 comments)

So you’d be smart to ask, “Why should I sell with you?”
The best way for me to answer that is in a Personal Consultation meeting. I will meet you at your home, explain how I work with clients, and give you an initial idea of what to expect in terms of selling price and timing. This meeting … (4 comments)

IF ONLY... THERE WERE MORE CLIENTS LIKE THIS ONE
About 8 years ago I listed a home in a very high end neighbourhood, close to $1,000,000.. the home was beautifully, and tastefully deocrated with warm neutral tones, a very harmonious atmosphere.

Before I arrived on Sunday evening to list the property, the clients spent the entire weekend ensuring the house showed like a model home!! Wow, I was very impressed… I didn’t have to … (23 comments)

Become an informed buyer, do your research, and ensure your real estate agent includes the appropriate clauses to protect you from unforeseen expenses on closing.
Unlike kitchen and bath renovations, or the addition of hardwood floors and crown moulding, a pool does not necessarily add value to the home equal to the cost of the pool. The fact is, that in most cases it adds little or no value to the home. Some buyers … (5 comments)
