"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value". –Albert Einstein

Guess what?  You can buy a house without an agent.  You can sell a house without an agent too.  It's optional.  Most people use an agent though because they believe that there is a value proposition in having an expert guide them through the experience.  I love this quote of Albert Einstien who perfectly describes the where my fire is for this business.  I seek to add value. Simnply put, my job is to maximize the value proposition for you.  I strive to be knowledgeable in housing construction, zoning, floor plans, renovations, the current market, pricing, buyer preferences, flips, income property, financing basics, and all sorts of housing issues that most people do not readily think about unless they have already experienced it.  There are many buyer agents who will open doors and say "do you like it?".  To me, that is not a value add.  You can do that yourself!  There are many listing agents who will say, "It's time to drop the price" without an explanation as to why.  Too busy I guess, or maybe they don't know why!   My feedback and testimonials demonstrate that people appreciate my telling them things they didn't know, wouldn't have guessed, and pot holes we didn't fall in.  It's not just smart talk though - read the blog!  I've got the data to back it up.  I would argue I have the most comprehensive market data collection in Metrowest - and it can be used to help you!

"I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do." –Leonardo da Vinci

The housing market changes every day.  Relying on lessons you learned six months ago, or six years ago won't help you today. It's imperative to stay sharp, learn every day, and continually take that knowledge and divest it in such a way as to add value to the customer experience. Most people only buy a house every seven years.  Let me tell you, what you needed to know seven years ago has nothing to do with what today's market dynamics are.  Such is real estate.  Only a committment to staying focus on the now will create the type of customer experience I am looking to give you.

"Do your job" - Bill Belichek

There are those in real estate who seek to be the Oracle of Housing Information.  They will tell you what to do, what to buy, what your house is worth.  I do not think that is the job.  I think the job is to give you the information.  To show you the tradeoffs.  To outline multiple strategies for getting from point A to point B.

Then you choose.

This is YOUR LIFE.  Not mine.  I'm here to make sure you make as informed a choice as possible, with the emphasis on informed and choice.  Informed means having all the relevant pieces of information, and choice means alternatives.  There are always alternatives!!   There are reasons things are the way they are, and I will show them to you!  Take control of your real estate life, after all, it's probably going to be your most important invenstment!  Be informed.
