Principally, I obtained my experience in real estate over the past 19-years, which includes 11-years working full-time valuing homes and land as a licensed and certified real estate appraiser and over 8-years as a broker/agent. I have a unique set of skills to keep my buyer-clients informed and to ensure they avoid the many landmines that exist in the process of vetting, negotiating for, and acquiring a house or parcel of land. For this reason, I do work with first-time buyers, who often benefit most from receiving a high level of guidance and care. I also have a successful track record with marketing property. I draw on my years of training working in a small boutique firm to sell and market real estate. I also enjoy finding the right marketing angles and writing advertising materials. When writing marketing copy, both my valuation and brokerage experience informs me what is most valuable in a particular market to highlight to achieve the highest price, and this may require effectively handling multiple offers. I have also found it very important to provide solutions to buyers to overcome what the market would likely deem a shortcoming, turning them into opportunities. I'm based in Green Mountain but I mostly assist sellers and buyers for property along the foothills and in our many mountain communities
