When the real estate bubble popped, the market was depressed. Foreclosures and bankruptcies were at an all time high. Finding buyers that could qualify and listings with mortgages that were not upside down was like finding a needle in a haystack. It taught me how to be dynamic in this industry by building a rental clientele during a down market for both buyers and sellers.

I advise my buyers to consider their lifestyle external from their residence and to factor that into their monthly budget along with savings and future activities. This perspective helps us all to stay focused on a purchase price allowing the buyers to afford their desired lifestyle. It’s easy to become beguiled with a property that’s at the top of the budget and believe that it’s worth making sacrifices for until the realization of being house poor resonates with the first mortgage payment. I also advise sellers to perform an inspection and make repairs on their home prior to putting it on the market to forego any surprise discovery during a buyer’s due diligence process.

The most rewarding part of being an agent/realtor are the relationships I have formed with my clients, other agents, brokers and ancillary vendors has been priceless.

I try to distinguish myself from other agents by emphasizing care for the client over the bottom line, being patient and staying professional at all times.
