A Real Estate Relationship

Transactions for Realtors can be rela-

tively simple or very complex and can involve

a short period of time all the way to months

of planning and coordinating. Whether you

are buying or selling — or doing both at once

— we will discuss your goals and objectives

and prepare a plan.

Some clients are comfortable with technol-

ogy and we can email, share documents elec-

tronically, and you can research and search

homes and other real estate topics with tools

I provide as well as those available to the

general public.

Other clients are most happy with face-to-

face visits, phone calls and direct contact.

We’ll work those things out to meet your

needs right up front and keep you involved

and informed from beginning to end.

The first step is yours. Please get in touch

with me by phone or email.

Traditional Sales

Short Sales

REOs (Real Estate Owned)

Things may not be the same in real estate as the last

time you bought or sold even if it was here in Virginia 5

years ago.

In the past several years I have represented banks and

quasi-government organizations plus individuals and com-

panies selling foreclosed properties. Those REOs are still

coming on the market and may for some time into the

future. I can work with you on my listings and other

agents’ listings — the knowledge and skill dealing with

the banks and their contracts may be very helpful to you.

Short sales are transactions where a seller needs to sell

their home for less than they owe because the market

price has decreased since the seller purchased or refi-

nanced the home. There are some distinctly unique

parts to these transactions and whether you are buying

or selling, we should sit down and talk.

As I try to tell everyone, sometimes your options are

greater if we talk about your real estate situation early in

the game instead of at the last minute when the bank is

calling.

Traditional sales may be straightforward, but new lend-

ing practices, ever-changing Federal and State require-

ments are items I keep up on and deal with every day and

may be things that you only encounter once a decade.

I’m here to help.

1031 Starker Exchanges, Investors and

Landlords — or Even Second Homes

If you are buying and selling real estate at the beach or

in the mountains or even in the next town, I can help you

save money, make money, or protect your money.

Things do not remain the same

in the real estate market for

Northern Virginia. There are

swings in demand and changes in

price. But the market also

changes because of employment

shifts, Presidential administrations

and is affected by mood swings.

As a Realtor, I not only know the market, but

help guide you through it to a successful outcome.

Like your financial advisor, insurance agent, or fam-

ily attorney, I have a role and often it is in a major

way — a coordinator.

For some, I will be working with you, your loan

officer and your home inspector. For others I will

be working with you and your contractors for things

like touch up painting, flooring, or repairs. For still

others, I will be working with you and a specialist in

down-sizing, home organizing and staging.

For seniors, there are professionals that fill special

needs like elder care attorneys, active adult housing,

assisted living homes, long term care and more.

Frequently I am asked by family caregivers to

provide assistance and those family members may

be just across town or across the country.
