Here's the difference:
Unlike many agents, I am fortunate in having a real-world foundation of marketing, business development, project management, customer service, contract negotiations, and information technology at a top Fortune 50 company. Having brought that experience to bear on the Real Estate profession has resulted in a unique and robust blend of skills which, when coupled with the world-class resources of William Raveis, result in an unparalleled Client experience. I appreciate your business and take my responsibilities seriously, while also striving to ensure that your Real Estate experience is an uplifting one, regardless if you're on the selling or buying end.
Thinking about Selling?
The William Raveis marketing material is tasteful and beautifully appointed to portray your home's every advantage; it is second to none in quality, design and reach. We leave nothing to chance. Our Internet tools are robust and productive with hooks into most search engines to provide limitless opportunity to put your property at the forefront of the local, national and international real estate market. We are accessible on a 24x7 basis in most cases. We believe that a missed call is a missed opportunity.

Thinking about Buying?
Being pre-approved for a loan determines how much house you can afford. It also allows you to move swiftly when you find the right house, especially in this incredibly tight real estate market! Unless you have proof of financing that will satisfy the seller your offer will NOT be considered. So give yourself equal footing with other buyers. Get preapproved as a first step of your home search. You can likely do this over the phone with William Raveis Financing or any bank or mortgage company that you may be working with. Be aware that rates matter! Your mortgage rate can determine how much you can afford.
Then, when you know your price range we’ll let the MLS do some of your legwork. The seemingly daunting amount of criteria you have swimming around in your head can easily be translated into your custom MLS search. You provide me with your details of what you're looking for in a home and we'll do the rest. Then the fun begins! I’ll make arrangements for showings, help you assess and support you throughout the entire lifecycle of your purchase when you think you've found that special home. But it can take several weeks or months and many showings along the way so do not get discouraged. After all, buying a home is likely the biggest single investment you will ever make and it should not be rushed. Be comfortable with your purchase!
My goal is to make your home buying experience the best you've ever had because I know the benefit of providing my clients with a quality product so that you’re happy to refer me to your friends and family.

1. It is a myth that negotiating directly with the Listing Agent will result in a ‘deal’.
Listing Agents are Seller Agents who are under contract with the Seller and have a
fiduciary responsibility to the Seller to negotiate the highest price possible.
2. Listing Agents are technically dual agents when they are negotiating directly with Buyer and Seller,
meaning that they cannot provide you with assistance or advice that will benefit you, the Buyer,
to the detriment of the Seller.
3. Listing Agents will typically only provide property comparisons and other information
that benefit their client, the Seller, not you, the Buyer.
4. Seller agents may not show you homes that may be better suited to your needs or that provide better value,
or they may show you homes that they know to be inferior so their listing will compare more favorably.
5. When I represent your needs as a Buyer Agent, I'll have your best interest in mind –
both from a client relationship standpoint as well as achievement of my professional responsibilities.
~ I'll take the time to understand your needs and make them a priority so that no time
is wasted looking at homes that do not meet your criteria.
~ I’ll show you as many properties as you want to see in as many towns as you're interested in.
I'm committed to helping you find the right home.
~ I’ll help you assess true value and provide accurate property comparisons.
~ I’ll negotiate the best deal possible, always protecting your interests.
~ I'll guide you through each step of the purchasing process when you’ve found the right home,
from Offer, to Home Inspection, to P&S, to applying for and obtaining a Mortgage commitment,
right through to Closing. For us, it’s all about YOU.
