There is a big difference between buying a home and selling a home. They require tailored duties and services at each stage of the process.

If you are selling a house I will:

• Expertly market your home through channels like social media, websites, and multiple listing services
• Conduct a comparative market analysis to demonstrate what other homes in your area have been sold for in the recent months
• Secure the assistance of other professionals for completing the paperwork accurately and while meeting critical deadlines
• Complete a property profile of your home, including current conditions, surroundings and special features

If you are buying a house I will:

• Educate you about the current housing market conditions
• Discuss and analyze best alternatives that best fit your budget and criteria
• Resolve any challenges that may arise when purchasing a new home
• Provide the highest quality of service so that you feel comfortable and confident in the process
