I will help you find the perfect home and make a well-informed decision.
Purchasing a property is a “process” and not an “event” and it can take some time.
Working with an experienced realtor who is client-focused rather than commission-driven and who is also willing and more importantly qualified to be a conduit of knowledge rather than a salesperson is the first step.
The goal: to obtain guidance and information to make you an educated consumer so that you can make well-informed decisions.

Buy a HOME not a house
Understanding neighborhoods is important. If you are planning on having children then school districts are important. Noise (trains, loud dogs, streetcars, industry, airplanes), and smells (sewage treatment, roofing shingle plant, meatpacking) are crucial factors that will affect your living experience. Is it a high-crime area?
If so, what are the nature of the crimes? (break-ins, robberies). Is there a condo development planned in the area? Transit routes and commute times to work, daycare, the dog park all have varying degrees of importance depending on the buyer. My role as a buyer’s realtor is to make sure there are not any surprises and to get you the best option that is out there.
Winning multiple offers
There is only one way to get really good at winning multiple offers: EXPERIENCE!
Entering into a multiple offer situation with an inexperienced agent will likely result in one of two outcomes. 1. You will lose or 2. You will win but pay too much. Understanding what a property is worth and more importantly how much you will need to offer to get it is important.
