This series of posts will introduce you to my team of preferred partners who assist me in all aspects of my business. When I say I am your trusted real estate adviser and that I’m available to provide resources/referrals to other industry professionals and services before, during, and after a sale, I mean it.
While we don’t have an official mission statement, our philosophy of business has been focused on creating the picture perfect home. We achieve this through home staging techniques designed to meet client’s needs and budgets and most importantly making properties desirable to potential buyers to generate offers quickly and at the highest value...
Read MoreFor us, the neighborhood sold it. The home is on a corner lot, across the street from a wonderful park. While the home had features that I hadn’t envisioned (a rather small kitchen and only one bathroom), we knew that those features were changeable.
Features like a big, flat, fenced-in yard and the view of the forest across the street weren’t things we could add to another house that checked all the boxes for interior features.
We’ve loved having Double Rock Park in such close proximity...

Read MoreWe all have that fear of hearing we’re getting audited by the IRS. However, less than one percent of Americans get audited. State agencies also have the right to look at your returns.
People most likely to be audited are those with no income and those making more than $1 million. If you still use the old paper methods instead of using an online service or having a professional prepare your taxes, you up your chances of an audit.

Read MoreThanks to Cindy Bernstein of Aim4Order for this episode of Tips from the Pros about clutter and your mindset.
When I think about organizing my home, I like to take a step back and look at it from an outsider’s point of view. Think about a real estate agent coming over to tell you how you need to reduce the clutter in order to show your home. You be the real estate agent and look around your own home.
Make a list of things that you see that need work. Write it down so you have that list and don’t forget anything.
Too many photos, nicknacks, books or other items can make your home look cluttered just because there is so much there. Think about what you can part with and what gives you joy...
Read MoreThanks to Clean Sweep for this episode of Tips from the Pros about slate roofs.
As a realtor, you probably see almost every type and quality of roofing imaginable, from roofs that seem to have more bare spots than shingles to traditional composite shingles. However, many realtors lack experience with slate roofing. This high-quality roofing material can last for up to 150 years if it’s properly installed, and it adds major value to homes.
Slate roofing can match almost any exterior aesthetic thanks to the wide range of textures and colors that the material comes in. It’s also completely recyclable once it has worn out. Slate roofing requires expert maintenance and specialized installation to give homeowners the best experience possible.

Read MoreThanks to Cindy Bernstein of Aim4Order for this episode of Tips from the Pros about organizing your goals.
As the year is coming to an end, thoughts turn to 2019 and what you can accomplish in the new year. Setting goals can be a challenge, but there are some ways to make it easier.
The first step is deciding what goals you want to achieve in the coming year before you figure out how to achieve them.
People who write down their goals are much more likely to make them happen. There are several ways to do that.
Make a list of the goals you want to achieve in the year, month-by-month or even week by week. You can break down the big goals into components that you need to accomplish in order to reach that goal...
