While that was true, the buyers were out in force this week and homes were selling rapidly with a spike in homes going from active to pending with nearly a 25% increase (91 from 73) from the previous week.

"The simplification of anything is always sensational"
                                             
      - GK Chesterton


Today, the real estate market is pulling from a lot of different directions. Homeowners need a steady experienced person to be a trusted advisor. A market current, pragmatic, and unhyped counsel on potential home investments (dealing with deferred maintenance and cosmetics) and what likely return for their time, effort, and money can be realistically anticipated.

I spend many hours over long periods of time in person, email, and on the phone providing value and confidence to homeowners.
Let me do that for you, it is at the core of what I call... Showing Up, Working Hard, Every Day. & long before I ask for your commitment.

When you invite me to your home. I will drink your coffee, tea, or tap water, and take a brief tour with you. Then, we will discuss your plans and I listen to you carefully.  No "presentation", just me with my legal pad and clipboard.

Since I started the real estate business in 1996, this meeting has been the single most enjoyable part of what I do.
