I am the quintessential “Housie”—totally passionate about the business of real estate! I am also one of a handful of realtors with a doctorate degree (Ph.D.). Having been a College Professor, grant writer and fund raiser in a previous career I bring to this profession varied strengths. If you were to use my expertise to buy a house you would have access to every property that fits your criteria—my research skills are excellent and I am completely comfortable with using different search engines. I would set up and accompany you to every showing while educating and informing you, my customer, about the home-buying process and the current state of the real estate market. I promise to be with you every step of the way, aggressively negotiating the right price for your property, helping you with pre-qualification and mortgage process, through the inspections and appraisals and finally at the closing table.
If you were to use my services to sell your home, prior to meeting with you I would do a full market analysis of your property and provide you with the findings at the listing presentation. Understanding market conditions is key to selling a property and pricing a property is extremely important. At the listing presentation I will provide you with a customized marketing strategy for your home and the steps we will take together to ensure that your property is sold.
Home buying and selling is a complicated process but also a fun one full of possibilities, anticipation and the beginning of new chapters!
My areas of expertise include the areas of Jupiter, Tequesta, Juno Beach, Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach, especially waterfront properties. I also service the West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie areas. I know these areas extremely well and understand the market fluctuations and real estate cycles pertaining to these localities. Having taught International relations and economics as a College Professor I fully understand the need to market to the International Community in these tough real estate times in the United States. South Florida has a large and diverse International Community and I feel that it is imperative to reach out to foreign buyers.
