There are many good indicators that it may be time to sell your home, such as: your family is outgrowing your current home… Lifestyle shifts are compelling you to rethink your living space… You’re emotionally ready to sell your home…. Or the real estate market seems very hospitable to sellers. In any event, you would want to call me to review your situation and I can give you a real-tip briefing of the market and realistically advise you of how the entire process would go from start to finish.

We can put you on an automatic list so you will instantly get notified when homes become available. You can also call me anytime to speak on the phone and have a real conversation!

I would look at reputation and experience. A good way to do this is by reading the Realtor’s reviews and their responses to reviews. Also follow me on Facebook and Instagram to see my style and activity. You can also see featured video testimonials from past clients to better help you understand the value and relationship.

As a local Realtor, I work the local market everyday and have access to information many other Realtors may not have access to. I bring my years of experience and network to work for you so you can rest assured the process of buying or selling your home goes smoothly.

A good Realtor will make the real estate transaction flow smoothly. He/she will also be knowledgeable about legal issues related to houses and property, which is critical because homes are usually the largest purchase most people make in their lifetime. A good Realtor will know how to assess your needs and wants so they can find you homes that meet them.

It takes four to eight weeks from exchange of contracts until settlement. During this time, enquiries and searches are made and documents prepared by your solicitor or conveyancer.
