Services

My services are geared to provide you with an all-around solution for selling and buying real estate. The idea is that you can delegate the process while at the same time feel you are well informed to make effective decisions.

My professional services include:

Consulting: Sometimes the issues connected to real estate can be complex. A good advisor listens and asks the appropriate questions to help you crystallize your needs and achieve your goals. I work together with my clients, their financial advisors, CPA´s, tax attorneys and estate planners in calculating and taking a measured risk, deciding on a desired neighborhood and/or choosing an investment property. You can rely on my counseling to support your interests and intentions throughout our discussions.

Marketing: In showcasing your property I find creative ways to give it the best exposure. I utilize the latest technology, successful established methods and innovated approaches to target the appropriate buyer.   Each step of the marketing campaign is timed to maximize its effectiveness.
Some of my activities include creating your own web site with several photos for viewing the property, postings on a variety of web sites frequented by buyers and other agents, well placed photo ads in newspapers and magazines, direct mailings that are chosen by geographic and demographic criteria, staging the home or hosting an event there, brokers´ caravans, open houses and of course being easily accessible for private showings to prospective clients. As a member of several local and international organizations, I also disseminate information about your property to an extensive network of business management firms, attorneys, financial advisors, relocation affiliates and corporate executives.

From assisting you in preparing your home for the market, to communicating to a diverse cross section of professionals and buyers, the goal is to sell your property promptly at the highest possible price.

Sales and negotiation: Sales and negotiations begin with my initial contact with a prospective buyer, seller or other agent.  It can be via phone, fax, e-mail or in person. That first impression has the power to impact the course of a sale and its eventual outcome. Being credible, congenial and courteous fosters good communication and good communication can make or break a deal. During the negotiation process I work diligently to delineate details quickly and clarify them in writing to avoid later misunderstandings. Should obstacles or problems arise or tempers flare, I have the capacity to remain calm, handle these situations with finesse and bring the transaction to a successful closing.

Property Research: Performing market research, especially abroad, requires intensive investigation and good connections. It also requires a broader set of skills including information on relocation, investment, legal and tax matters and the appropriate due diligence procedures.

Relocation: You will feel more at home if you are informed about your neighborhood, its life style and the community as a whole. To facilitate your transition, my research team complies a list of moving companies, markets, schools, restaurants, public transportation and other important information about the area.  

International real estate: My international clientele require objective analysis. They want to become educated about current trends, desirable areas in which to live, and property values.  My role is to provide information and the proper guidance to assist them with the complexities of cross cultural real estate transactions.

Team of support: Nothing is accomplished alone. Over the years I have assembled a team of like- minded professionals who support and nurture a deal to fruition.  This team includes photographers and graphic designers, marketing experts and hi-tech wizards, escrow and title officers, mortgage brokers and appraisers, legal and financial advisors, interpreters and translators and others who are tops in their fields of expertise.

Technology: The internet is fundamentally changing the way in which people buy and sell their properties.   Many now start their home search online.  In keeping with this trend, I use the latest tools in internet marketing and research.  My web site provides comprehensive descriptions, printable flyers and numerous photos for each of my listings, as well as, direct e-mail inquiry and online tours. My handheld Black Berry keeps me plugged in 24/7. I can respond quickly to a perspective Buyer for your listing or immediately see new properties coming to market so that you get a head start on the competition.
