Easygoing--Yet Thorough And Professional
With interest rates reaching record lows (in 2003) we could finally afford to buy our first home. We found properties we were interested in via Realtor.com, then asked you to get us in to see them. (We contacted you instead of the listing agents, because we wanted to be sure someone represented OUR interests when negotiating the offer.) When you met us for the tour you arrived with printouts on not only the houses we had found, but on listings that hadn't even reached the public MLS yet. We found our dream home that very day. It is adorable and appraised at $8,000 over the asking price! We were into it within a month of making the offer. You, your assistant Gloria, and your co-worker Bob were indespensible in the process (as was Jacie Casteel of Cal Bay Mortgage). You just kept feeding us whatever form we needed to sign next, so we sped through the whole thing. Thanks again!
Karen, Debby and Greg

Time to Move >Empty Nests
When their last child is married or graduates from college, many couples feel the urge to give up yard work, sell their homes, and become sophisticated city dwellers. They may consider a condominium or a home near theaters, restaurants, museums and other in-town excitement.
Although city living has many rewards, this type of move represents a major change in lifestyle. You will be relieved of a lot of maintenance chores, and you will be close to many activities that not available in the suburbs. However, some things that you take for granted, like a parking place, may not be readily available in a city!
Before you make a commitment to a condominium, talk to the people who live there. Like suburban developments, town house and condo developments often have covenants and owners' association restrictions which limit what you can do with your home. A professional real estate agent can get you the answers to any questions you may have about this important move.
