About
My objective is to provide you the utmost resources & consultation before you make, in all likelihood, the largest financial transaction of your life...the buying or selling of a home. If you desire success; we should talk. I am a "leave no stone unturned", "24/7" real estate professional. I devote all my energies into locating opportunities, on and off-market, for you. My years of experience (along with being a master certified negotiator - MCNE) could be the difference-maker for you getting the best price with a successful offer. If you are ready to sell your home, I will thoroughly explain the sales process, provide you candid advice on how to best prepare your home for sale, help maximize your result, and safely navigate you from the purchase contract through to the close of escrow. Being master certified in negotiations (MCNE - 1% agents nationwide), I will represent you with considerable knowledge in negotiation theory & techniques which will benefit you in multiple offer scenarios. Having represented both buyers and sellers in the Denver-metro since 2002 (and having lived here since 1985), know that you will be well informed about the Denver-metro neighborhoods. Feel free to contact me now to discuss your real estate goals.
Reared from an extensive corporate world background, I consider myself a professional who happens to perform Real Estate. Although many thought I was crazy to maintain the duality between a 9 to 5 job and a Realtor simultaneously, I somehow found a way to do both. But in 2013, I finally broke free and jumped into Real Estate full-time. Though I started Real Estate in 2002, I have been fortunate to integrate my prior corporate experience into my realty services. With that being said, I am probably overly analytical and hyper-indulge (sic) my advice to clients; as that has been ingrained into my work ethic & approach. My objective is to provide you the utmost resources & consultation before you make, in all likelihood, the largest financial transaction of your life...the buying or selling of a home. My goal to you is to make your real estate endeavor as smooth as possible with the highest level of communication along the way.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our homes are lifetime investments coupled with strong personal ties. Buying a home ranks among our clients' most important experiences, and I approach the task with sensitivity, concern, and professional competence. I find that my policy of making a thoroughly compiled list of potential properties and reviewing it in detail with the buyer reduces time and leads to a faster sale at a better price. You should know that my presentation measures the quality of service you can expect from me until your new home is closed. I thank you for this distinction and the opportunity to serve you!
Preparation- It is important to know what amenities are a priority in the home you choose, like location and price. Do you have a home to sell before purchasing your new home? Make a list of needs, wants and financial parameters. Make the information available to your agent. Do your financial homework. Check credit scores, savings accounts, and type of loan you are considering, ensuring your dream of home ownership is in your near future. Consult with a lender for questions regarding home loan qualifications and possible pre-approval. Preparation is a key factor and assists your agent in compiling available properties that fit your criteria. Choosing a Home- There are many homes on the market, and it can seem overwhelming. I will guide you to homes that meet your criteria. You will view homes via scheduled showings. While viewing a home, take notes and obtain a brochure (if available) to remind yourself of the home’s amenities. You may see more than one home in a day, making it a little harder to remember one home from another. After all of this hard work, you will find your dream home! Making an Offer- Once you find your dream home, you will make an offer on the property. It may take one or more counter-offers to come to an agreed-upon contract and price. Once your offer and contract are accepted, you will start the inspection period. The length of the inspection period is determined in the contract; it is usually around ten days. An inspection period is a specified time frame in a real estate contract that allows a buyer to terminate the contract for any reason discovered by the home inspection that can’t be resolved between Seller and Buyer. It creates the right to terminate within the specified number of days. Moreover, the buyer will usually obtain a home inspection. Making a small investment in an inspection now could save you substantial money in the future. Inspectors check a few areas: structural, electrical, plumbing, built-in appliances, safety hazards, septic systems, decks/patios, and exterior structures. After the inspection period ends, your lender will / may require an appraisal and survey of the new home. Your loan will go through the final processing stages to reach full approval, and then close on home at a title company. Closing & Moving Into Your New Home- Transfer all utilities into your name for the day of move-in or closing date (whichever happens first) Electricity, gas, water, garbage/sewer, internet, phone, TV services, and fill out an address forwarding card at the post office. Once closing documents have been signed, and the loan has been funded, the home is yours!
