Finding a new home is a unique process that can be challenging, emotional and even overwhelming which is why the most important thing you can do is find an experienced agent to be by your side each step of the way. From creating your wish list and getting your loan process on track to finding the most knowledgeable home inspector and selecting a title company I’d love to put my decades of experience and expert contacts to work for you.

As much as I love the Washington DC area and know it like the back of my hand, my most important job is making sure my clients have the best representation whether they want to buy here or anywhere else. Through the international networks of Washington Fine Properties and my personal connections across this country no matter where you are going I can connect you with an agent who is tailor made for your specific needs. All you need to do is ask!

I can say with absolute confidence I am an expert when it comes to the process of buying and selling real estate. Also I am humble enough to admit that I couldn’t do this without my team of experts, the people I have worked closely with for the last 30+ years to make sure my clients get the best possible results. We will only recommend the best home inspectors, loan officers, title companies, contractors and other professionals to give you the information and peace of mind you need to make the best decisions regarding your home search.

I am so proud of the opportunities I have had to represent some of the most wonderful people and spectacular properties in the Washington DC area. At the same time I have never been content to rest on my laurels or coast on past success. From attending national conferences and training seminars with other top producing agents to meticulously studying any contract changes and serving on the professional standards committee of the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors, I never stop working on my craft. Let me put all that effort and experience to work for you!

Some realtors offer gimmicks and promotions, slogans and catch phrases; what nobody tells you is the basic truth that, especially with buyers, the secret is the work. Other agents might just set up an auto email sending you listings from the MLS and wait until the perfect home just magically appears. I am nothing if not proactive for my clients. I will be on the phone to other agents trying to find your dream home before it comes on the market. Your needs will be posted on the Top Agent Network where thousands of high volume agents will see it and often will give us a heads up if they have something that might meet those needs. And if all else fails I will reach out to homeowners directly, letting them know we have a buyer for their house if they ever think of selling. There is no substitute for hard work in helping my clients find the home of their dreams.

There are things you can do to prepare for your home search and it is never too early to begin educating yourself on the process. Talk to a lender, go to an open house, research the prices of homes that appeal to you and give me a call. I’m happy to speak to you regardless of where you are in this process and I can provide advice that will help you work smarter not harder. Whether it is how to get your house ready for the market if you need to sell or what questions to ask your lender or what neighborhoods have the best swim teams, I would be happy to share my wealth of real estate knowledge and make sure you get started on the right track.
