Your Stafford and Fredericksburg Area Real Estate Expert

For most families, their home is their largest financial asset, and deciding to sell it is a big decision. When you're ready to sell it's important to have an experienced real estate professional handle the details involved in the successful sale of a home for top dollar.

As an experienced professional I know how to handle every aspect of the sales process - from strategically marketing and showcasing your home to making sure everything's signed, sealed and delivered by the closing date.

 
According to the National Association of Realtors, more than 74% of those searching for a home begin on the Internet, and my marketing strategies are Internet-driven. First, I place complete and accurate information about my listings, including multi-photo displays, into the regional multiple listing service (MRIS) as soon as a property is listed. How many times have you been on the Internet and simply clicked past a listing with no photo?? In addition, my listings instantly reach thousands of potential buyers by appearing on numerous Internet sites, including those that target one of our area's biggest buying segments: military personnel and government contractors. One of the most powerful of these Internet tools is my subscription to the Featured Homes™ Marketing System of Realtor.com, the official web-site of the National Association of Realtors. On average, featured homes are seen 20 times more than other listings. This and other Internet postings drive inquiries to my Web site, where there are links that bring buyers to your home’s listing.  My site displays complete information about your home, including room dimensions, multiple color photos and a video! 

My staff  creates a full spectrum of marketing materials customized to sell your home, including full-color brochures. Our videos are left on-site, and in addition we email them to potential buyers of your home. Ask Janet if you would like to receive a sample video by email or "snail mail." In addition, because most homes are sold through the cooperation of other real estate firms, I advertise your home directly to real estate brokers and agents via e-mail and telephone. I distribute color brochures to other firms, host open houses for the public, and also host mid-week open houses for broker agents. You may have heard what is said about realtors: "If you feed them, they will come."

Marketing your home is just the first step in the sales process. There’s nothing worse than believing your home is sold only to have the deal fall through, so I make sure that buyers are qualified and follow your transaction each step of the way. I oversee inspections, appraisals, surveys, and the many other details necessary to close a transaction to make sure they are completed correctly and on time.

Curious about what your home might bring? you can estimate the value of your home with the latest technology: "Market Snapshot." This service of my Web site will show you all homes actively for sale, under contract, or recently sold, that are near your home. Other sites such as Zillow will often give you a home's assessed value for tax purposes, which often has very little bearing on the price that a home will bring in the marketplace. My site will link you to full information on all of your home's comparables, including photos. Simply click here and fill out the simple form to receive your "Market Snapshot," with no obligation.

I believe that full service is the best way to achieve exceptional results, and providing you with comprehensive, high-quality listing service is my top priority. So when you decide to sell your home, please think of me.

Thank you for visiting my Website! I apologize if you have experienced any frustration. I am working on my site to provide you with the latest technology. If you have been unable to accomplish your goal, please contact me .
