I believe that buying and selling homes is serious business, which means:
- You shouldn't be pressured into making decisions before you're ready.
- You should be the one making the decisions. My job is to make sure you have the necessary information to make good decisions.
- Your needs are put ahead of everyone else's, including mine.
- And last but not least, communication is key. We will be in touch often -- via email, telephone, and in person.
Personal Service With A Difference
You probably know how important it is to find the right real estate agent when you are focusing on a financial investment as substantial and as personal as your home. What you should know about me is that, as a Coldwell Banker Sales Associate, I believe wholeheartedly in the unique, personal nature of real estate. You will see that revealed in how I follow through on what I promise, as I carefully guide you through the many steps and decisions along the way.
I PROMISE AND GUARANTEE
1) To put client interests before my own. No conflict of interest. No hidden fees or profits. I always want the freedom to recommend the best services and most competitive rates for my clients - and I do.
2) To skillfully negotiate on my client's behalf. For the buyer, I work hard to package financing, pricing and timing to create a successful transition into their new home. For the seller, I present the property to both a wide and targeted audience with the goal of bringing as many buyers as possible to the negotiation table.
3) To expertly manage your transaction from beginning to end. This will include the coordination of appraisers, inspectors, insurance underwriters, escrow demands, disclosures, legal requirements and the unexpected arrival of a mother-in-law who just arrived in town to inspect the home on her own.
4) I listen to you! Give me a call and tell me where you would like to be in the next three months, in the next year, or even the next decade. I promise to listen and to help guide you toward your housing and investment goals.
Feel free to contact me anytime, whether it's to get started on helping you realize your goals and dreams, or just to ask a question. I would welcome the opportunity to make a difference for you.
I am VERY fortunate that almost 85% of my business is from referrals. Nothing is more flattering than getting a call from a family member (once I help you buy or sell a home you become "family" and not just a "past client") with the phone number of "soon to be" family members who need my services. Here are some of my most recent testimonials:

Michael was a tremendous help during my first home-buying experience; quick to answer or return my phone calls and very knowledgeable about nearly any topic relevant to my home search. He helped me negotiate a final price well below asking as well as guiding me through the mortgage process. I will definitely use Michael for my next real estate transaction. - Matthew S. April 2008
I met Michael by pure chance while walking through an open house he was holding for a property in the area I was interested in. I enjoyed talking with him and although I didn’t buy that particular house from him, (or the 16 houses we looked at during the subsequent weeks), we finally found the right house for me. I could tell customer satisfaction was high on Michael’s priority list and it made my home search that much easier for me. - Ryan Y. May 2008
Michael, We really lucked out the day we met you. You listened to us, and it was almost magic the way we found our home. Thank you for your patience and guidance. You worked so hard to make everything pull together and we truly appreciate your hard work. We look forward to working with you again in the future. Sincerely, - Mike K. May 2008
