My Mission
As your REALTOR (R),
it is my hope to add
Value to Your Life through
Homeownership,
which Promotes & Strengthens
Families & Neighborhoods!
My Real Estate Practice operates distinctly from other real estate agents.
I don’t spend vast quantities of time prospecting for new business.
Instead, I focus my time and energy towards servicing my clients, their
subsequent referrals as well as continuing my real estate education.
My intention is to provide you with the
highest level of service by: performing and delivering to your expectations;
looking out for your best interest; making the process fun and enjoyable; and providing
value to your life!
If the result of my efforts exceed your expectations, hopefully, I
will earn your respect and trust for your future real
estate needs and hopefully your endorsement to your friends, family, and business associates.
Your satisfaction and subsequent referrals
are the basis of my future.
"Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you
love and believe in, and it will come naturally."

A
Buyer's Broker does not represent the Seller, even if Buyer's Broker is
receiving compensations for services rendered from Seller or Seller's Broker.
A
Seller’s Broker has the fiduciary duties of
loyalty, obedience, disclosure, confidentiality, and accounting in dealings with
the Seller.
A Broker
Representing both Seller and Buyer
(Limited Dual Representation) in a transaction has limitations of the duties
owed to the Buyer and the Seller, but only with the knowledge and informed
consent of both the Seller and Buyer .
COMPARABLE MARKET ANALYSIS
EXPLANATION
Will graphically illustrate the comparable
properties which closely match your property's characteristics. These properties
will help to find a fair market value for your property and help to decide the
proper listing price for your home.
FAIR MARKET VALUE HAS BEEN DEFINED AS:
The highest price estimated in terms of money
which the property will bring when the property is exposed for sale in the open
market by a willing seller, allowing time to find a willing buyer, neither buyer
nor seller acting under compulsion, both having full knowledge of all the uses
and purposes to which the property is adapted and for which is capable of being
used.
This market value definition presupposes perfect
knowledge on the part of the buyer and seller. Since this perfect world rarely
exists, our estimate of price is generally indicated as a range.
In evaluating your property I have used many of
the tools that a professional appraiser utilizes: comparable sales, competitive
listings in escrow, square footage, location, amenities, and the general
condition of the property. I have also considered the effect of any existing
financing on the property.
The enclosed data was researched from the
reliable information currently available from the local Association of Realtors,
local real estate firms, and title companies. It does not reflect every property
of comparable value for sale now, but does represent a good cross section of the
competitive real estate inventory and recent sales.
Please note that while none of the properties is
exactly like yours, they do provide a good reference source in a comparative
market analysis.
The estimated value I have given for your
property does not mean that the sale of the property could not occur at a higher
price. The price you ultimately receive, of course, will depend on your
motivation, the motivation of the buyer, and market conditions at the time
offers are received.
Once we have tested the market at this price, we
will make periodic reviews to ensure we remain competitive.
THE MARKET
VALUE OF YOUR HOME IS DETERMINED IN SEVERAL WAYS
The Market
Value of Your Home
IS NOT:
-
What you have in it.
-
What
you need out of it.
-
What
it is appraised for.
-
What
you heard your neighbor’s house sold for.
-
What
the tax office says it is worth.
-
Based
on memories or treasures
-
Based
on prices of homes where you are moving.
The True
Market Value of Your Home
IS:
What a
Buyer is Willing to Pay for the Property - TODAY.
-
Based
on today’s market.
-
Based
on today’s competition.
-
Based
on today’s financing.
-
Based
on today’s economic conditions.
-
Based
on the
buyer’s perception of
property condition.
-
Based
on location.
-
Based on normal marketing time.
As a
Seller You Control:
As a
Seller You Do Not Control:
Warning
Signs:
AGENT
elimination - if agents are not previewing, or if they preview but do not show
it, they are eliminating your property.
BUYER
elimination - if your home is being shown with no results, buyers are finding
better properties in your price range.
In
either case, this is an indication that your home is not priced at current
market value.
REMEMBER:
The value of a property is determined by the
"Buyer". Setting the right price:
It is imperative that the price a home is listed at be right. This price
is set by the seller, but ultimately no house ever sells for more than what the
market is willing to pay at any given time. A Comparative Market Analysis
(CMA) is prepared by a licensed
REALTOR
®
which will give a range of price which the
home should sell for in today's market place!
