As a home buyer or seller, it is important that you understand that commissions are ALWAYS NEGOTIABLE! We offer both Full and Limited Service representation for both buyers and sellers.
After the NAR lawsuit was settled in 2024, the real estate industry changed a little. This was mainly in regards to commissions. Selecting an agent with whom you feel comfortable is an important first step. As your agent and advocate in the real estate transaction, I will handle every step of the purchase or sale from contract to closing.
During our initial, free consultation we will discuss compensation, marketing, photographs, closing agents, current state of the market and sales strategies among other pertinent topics.
When I represent you, you will benefit from my years of experience as a full time award winning agent.
