FAQS
1) What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
The first step in purchasing a home is figuring our your financing. If you need to obtain a loan, getting preapproved (or prequalified) is the first important step in this process. I have trusted lenders I can refer you to. Once you know how much home you can afford, then I can start showing you homes in that price range. I would also say it's important to know your "must haves" in a home . . . the non-negotiable items . . . so that you can narrow down your list of homes to view. Seeing too many homes can confuse buyers. Also, you may need to be flexible because there will never be a 100% perfect home and you may need to think of remodeling, adding a room, or doing that special landscaping you've always wanted at a time in the future.
2) What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
If you can, update your bathrooms and spruce up the kitchen if you can't afford a complete remodel. These 2 areas of your home bring the most money and is what buyers are looking for. That first impression is also important. Take some time to clean up the yard, plant some flowers, shrubs or trees. Paint the porch or fix up the fire pit.
3) What types of clients have you worked with?
All types! First time home buyers, investors, relocation, foreclosure, short sales, downsizing, upsizing
4) Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
There was a family of 5 I was working with to find them their first home. Because of many challenges with their financing, it took several months for them to finally get the "clear to close" from the lender. They were able to move in a few days before Christmas and celebrate it in a large home where all their friends and family could congregate. Helping making dreams come true may sound corny but that is what this career is all about.
5) How did you get started in Real Estate?
In the early 90's I had several jobs and one of them was a satellite salesman back when the antennas where HUGE! Many people I visited wanted the service, but their landlord wouldn't allow them to put that eyesore in the yard. So I thought, if they owned their own home this wouldn't be an issue. Many of my first clients were spanish-speakers only so this helped me get my start in real estate.
6) Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish. Over almost 28 years, I have handled all types of sales and have vast knowledge about all types of homes, inspections, types of loans, negotations, etc.
