Where The Race is Won!
The same commitment that it takes to be a successful marathon runner makes me a dedicated real estate professional. My background in developing and marketing two success technology companies over the past 20 years provides my clients with access to the most innovative internet marketing and services available anywhere.
Going the extra mile is my personal approach to everything. Whether running, finding you the right home or getting just one more potential buyer to look at the home you are selling, you will see how my determination and perserverance shines through.
Dealing with lenders, inspectors and attorneys requires the same focus on the finish line that it takes to run a 26-mile-long marathon. I wouldn't have it any other way I go the extra mile to help my clients accomplish their goals.
Let's get together and talk about your home buying and/or selling plans. I hope you will take the time to tour my website, search listings and read the articles.

This Is a Job for Super "woman", Not Clark Kent
We found this past weekend’s New York Times article, You Don’t Have To Pay It, very interesting reading. It was a piece on whether it makes sense to pay a 6% commission to your real estate agent in today’s market. In the article, there are sellers, buyers and even agents debating what is the right number that should be charged to assist a consumer in completing a real estate transaction. We would like to add our two cents to the debate.
Forget what the actual amount of the commission is. The bigger question is whether you should pay a ‘full fee’ when hiring a real estate expert to guide you through the complexities of today’s rapidly changing housing environment.

Selling Your House?
5 Reasons To Do It NOW!
The conventional wisdom when selling a home has always been to wait until the ‘Spring Buying Season’. Over the years, that has seemed to make sense and is now accepted as a good strategy for those who want to sell their house and receive the best possible price. This real estate market has shattered many previously held beliefs. The wisdom of waiting for a spring market is another belief that is about to fall. Here are five reasons why?

The Cost of Waiting for Prices to Fall
Many purchasers have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for home prices to hit bottom. They want to guarantee that they are purchasing at the best possible price. Like them, we also believe that prices still have some room to fall in most markets. However, we disagree that waiting is a good financial decision. The buyer should not be concerned about housing prices. They should be concerned about cost.
The cost of a house is made up of the price AND THE INTEREST RATE they will be paying. Two different pieces of news released yesterday highlight this point.
PRICES
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) released their 4th quarter housing research report. In the release, they reported that home sales rose 15.4% in the 4th quarter over the 3rd quarter. They also showed that prices remained stable during the year:
The national median existing single-family price was $170,600 in the fourth quarter, up 0.2 percent from $170,300 in the fourth quarter of 2009.
A buyer who delayed a purchase might find solace in the fact that prices have not increased. However, the other news released yesterday paints a different picture.
