Listen to your wants and needs, and learn your priorities.

Counsel you on putting forth your best offer.

I will encourage, but not pressure you to act in a way to achieve a transaction which meets your satisfaction.

In working with you as a Seller, I will–

Discuss the process of selling in the current market

Consultation

Most of the good Realtors with experience expect their first meeting with a potential Buyer or Seller to be a form of interview, where each party is deciding if they want to work together. If the answer is, “Yes”, they then move on to the interview where they talk about the market and what the client’s needs are.

Because of my years of experience I can also offer additional service for people who may not become a Buyer or Seller I work a transaction with, but who need Real Estate advice for some issue which involves real estate.

I cannot provide legal advice, but may be able to offer just the suggestions or direction that you need to make decisions crucial to your future.
