CLICK ON YOUR HOME- to read Frequently asked Q&As about Buying & Selling. There is some very important information for you here! Did you know that if you are 62 years of age or older that you can have your property taxes postponed and paid by the state until you move,sell or die. Call the County Tax Assessor's Office and they will provide you the appropriate form to fill out.

SELLERS: When it comes to SELLING your home "the right agent makes all the difference in the world". There is a lot more to selling a house than just putting a "For Sale" sign in the front yard. I try to reflect this idea in everything I do from my initial visit with you right on through the closing. My marketing plan gives potential buyers a good look at your home from both inside and out. For a free-no obligation market analysis of your property just CLICK ON SELLING AND FILL OUT THE INFORMATION and I will email your market analysis directly to you. If you provide your phone # I can set up an appointment to see your property, and will provide you with a more comprehensive analysis as well as an estimated closing cost net sheet so you can see what you will come out with at the close of escrow. Remember, there is never any obligation when I provide you with my marketing analysis to list your property with me even if I come out to see the property. I just want to provide the best information to you and would always appreciate the opportunity to work for you if you feel it will be of benefit to you.

BUYERS: When it comes to BUYING a home/investment property, the value of doing business with me is my 28+years of experience, hardwork, integrity, negotiating successful terms,& superb service.
