Experience: As
my client, your needs are my highest priority. Having been in the real
estate business since 1997, my years of experience allow me to guide you
through every step of the home buying or selling process. My experience spans such firms as Century 21, Prudential,
RE/MAX and Charles Rutenberg Realty! It also includes the experience of having been licensed in New York, Illinois and actively licensed in Florida.
I use strong negotiating skills on your behalf and will keep you informed of ever changing market conditions.
I take frequent continuing education courses so that I can stay on top of
changes in the law, practices and procedures.
There are many responsibilities, details and tasks that I manage and coordinate in a typical home sale
or purchase. However, even more important than what I know as your Agent is what I
do as your Agent. As an experienced facilitator, I will ensure that nothing falls through the cracks and that your transaction goes as smooth as possible. I can also provide you with recommendations for additional service professionals necessary for a successful
transaction. I will be present with you all the way through closing, and it is
my pleasure to offer continued services beyond the closing.
It is my job as your Realtor to communicate frequently with you and to
inform you of changing market conditions that might affect your transaction. I will provide you with a regularly updated Comparable Market Analysis and will be present at closing and offer continued services beyond the close of escrow. You will always be able to reach me via office
phone, cell or home phone, email or by
text. You will never wonder where your agent has disappeared to.
What You Can Expect of Me As Your Buyer's Agent:
Finding the right home at the right price is only the beginning of my job as
your Buyers Agent. Serving as an experienced negotiator and client advocate, I
can guide you in putting together a winning offer that best meets your goals.
Through personal oversight of the multi-faceted escrow process, I can ensure the
transaction closes smoothly. My goal is to make your experience of buying a home
as successful and stress-free as possible. I can be counted on to help you meet
unexpected challenges or changes.
Search ALL of the Listings in the Largest MLS in Florida!
My MLS home search (including Map Search and property satellite views) shows you all of the listings of single family homes, townhomes, condos, sold properties, foreclosures, short sales,
income producing and commercial real estate for sale in mid-Florida; From Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco Counties, south to Sarasota and Charlotte Counties, north to
Hernando County, all the way out to Citrus County and Volusia County on the Atlantic coast. You can save favorites, save searches, have search results emailed to you
automatically and more. Now while my "service area" consists mainly of Pinellas County, Western Pasco County, Western Hernando County and part of Hillsborough County, you're
more than welcome to use this search even if you're looking outside of these areas.
As many of you know, this real estate market is vastly different than the
housing market of a few years ago. As a result, how homes are shown in 2012 has
changed as well. No reputable real estate agent will show homes to anyone whose
identity is not verified and who has not yet provided a recent mortgage
pre-approval letter (if they are financing). A Buyer's Agent Agreement must be
signed to ensure that I am working with a home buyer who is not already
working with another agent. It also solidifies my commitment to the home buyer
as well. Click Here

mortgage consultant.
What You Can Expect of Me As Your Seller's Agent:
When you list your home, you want it SOLD, and sold FAST. The truth is nobody,
and I mean nobody, can promise or guarantee just how fast anyone's home can or
will sell. What they are really giving you is their "best guess" based on
property condition, listing price and market conditions. I can offer you a far greater
internet presence than just about any other Florida real estate agent. Why is
this so important? Because 90% of buyers looking for a home will start their
search on the internet. More buyers will find your home through my exclusive network of
42+
local, regional and national sites than with any other real estate agent in
Florida. With my Virtual Tours and Multiple Photos, Catered Tours, Open Houses
and Maximum Internet Exposure, your home can get sold faster and for the
highest price the market will bear! Click Here

Marketing program.
