THINGS I CAN HELP WITH:
Know someone who needs a bigger house? Let me help them through all the options of moving up in this fast market. Have them
fill out this form and I’ll get started on pricing their current home. Once we know how much they will net from the sale we can then start targeting suitable replacement homes. Now is the time since the market is so lacking in good homes to buy!

To have me get started on finding your next home
go here and tell me what you are looking for.

If you are at all considering selling property in the next 24 months talk to me about your goals.  I will make suggestions that pay my commission.

FORECAST: This market is perfect for selling properties that are a tough sell. If your home has a small negative feature, less than ideal floorplan or a large amount of traffic, now is the time to get a buyer and move up to a better property.

For Comparison: For the first time in years new listings outpaced sales. This should be only a temporary shift which is making up for so few homes on the market in December.
