About Us

Working by referral is how I have done business for 20+ years. I am ranked in the top 1% of REALTORs in the United States. I am ranked as the #9 RE/MAX Individual Agent in Georgia & #3 Individual Top Producer in the Northeast Atlanta Metro Association of Realtors. In 2017, I was the president of the 2nd largest board in Georgia, the Northeast Atlanta Metro Association of Realtors (NAMAR). When the market changed during the huge recession in 2008, I adapted and changed and not only survived but saw my business grow.

BUYING

The process of buying a property, especially for the first time, can be a daunting experience. As a first-time homebuyer, you must understand key elements such as mortgage pre-approval, down payments, and closing costs. It’s also essential to work with a reliable real estate agent who can guide you through the complexities of home inspections, negotiations, and contracts. Researching the local market, considering the future growth of the area, and understanding your long-term financial commitments are crucial steps in securing your dream home.

SELLING

Selling a home involves more than just putting a For Sale sign in the yard. To sell a home quickly and at a desirable price, sellers must make their property stand out in the market. This involves effective home staging, professional photography, and aggressive marketing. Making necessary repairs, setting a competitive price, and being flexible with showing times can also speed up the sale process.

HOME STAGING

The art of home staging can make a significant difference when selling a home. A well-staged home can help potential buyers visualize living in the space, leading to quicker sales and potentially higher offers. Home staging may involve decluttering, rearranging furniture, adding attractive décor, and enhancing curb appeal. It’s all about creating a welcoming environment that highlights the home’s strengths and downplays its weaknesses.

MARKET STATUS

Understanding the current market status is essential for both buyers and sellers in real estate. The market fluctuates between a buyer’s market, where there are more homes for sale than buyers, and a seller’s market, where buyers outnumber available homes. Knowing the state of the market helps determine pricing strategies, negotiation power, and timing for buying or selling a property. Keep an eye on market trends, economic factors, and local housing inventory for a clearer picture of the current market status.

RENOVATING

Home renovation is a critical aspect of real estate, especially when preparing to sell a property. Specific renovations, such as upgrading the kitchen or bathroom, can significantly boost a home’s resale value. However, it’s important to balance the cost of renovations with the potential return on investment. Prioritizing projects that increase functional space, improve energy efficiency, or enhance curb appeal can lead to a greater payoff when selling the home.
