I specialize in older homes, what they are and their possibilities. As such I can work to help a buyer see the hidden potential, the value of unpainted wood, the unused space of a 3rd floor walk up attic, the joy of an established neighborhood. A classic design never goes out of style. The Victorian, Italianate, Federalist, Georgian, Prairie, Craftsman and so many others were built to survive and thrive for the generations to come. An agent who understands these homes and the people who own them and want to own them, provides a unique perspective in todays market.
Reuse is a buzz word today but for me I have been an activist for decades on reclaiming our heritage in our buildings and our homes. So if you want an agent who understands your needs and lifestyle, I am the agent for you. I can find you the right place whether it is an old church, a refurbished mill, an historic grand dame or a workers cottage.
If you have a great old house to put on the market, call me first before you make any decision. I can advise a seller on the best ways to prepare their older home for an appreciative new buyer. I live in my own older home, with all the fun and a few of the hassles that go along with maintaining our history. From paint to landscaping to staging, an older home requires a unique eye to set it apart. Ask me and I will help you along each stage and beyond.
I work with many first time home buyers to achieve their dreams. Many older homes provide a much better price for the single, newly married and young families. Ample square footage, landscaped yards and convenient locations, not to mention great neighborhoods, make these homes a great choice that could last them a lifetime.
