I look forward to adding your own comments after I help you sell your house!I use state-of-the-art technology as well as effective marketing and business management tools to run my business. If you're selling your house, I'll have high-quality, professional photos taken to make sure your home appears as attractively as possible online. Your house will be included on the online multiple listing sites which give real estate agents everywhere (regionally, nationally, and even internationally) access to information about your house. If you're looking for a home, I take advantage of this online resource for your benefit.As a Portland resident since 1981, I have extensive knowledge of the metro area's various neighborhoods. I've helped several of my clients relocate to their second or even third homes. Others have bought investment property. I give my clients sound advice and make their experience of buying or selling a home an uncomplicated process. Maintaining lifelong relationships with my clients is at the core of my philosophy, borrowed from the Rotary Club's motto, "Service above Self".At each client's anniversary of their purchase, I provide them with a mini-market update. Sharing the current statistics of their neighborhood is an important part of the continued service I offer, and takes the guessing out of where their home falls in line with the immediate surrounding market.With more than 23 years experience in sales, I'm focused on what matters most: keeping my clients happy. I've worked with some of my clients throughout my entire real estate career. My philosophy is, if you want to build a successful long-term business, you don't just close a transaction, you open a relationship. This philosophy has led to more than 95% of my new clients being referred to me by existing ones. Watching Your Family Grow My clients' kids call me the "Hummus Man" because I make a point of dropping by to bring them my home-made Middle Eastern fare. It's my personal tradition to share delicious treats like my Baba Ghanouj, Tabouleh, and of course, my famous Hummus. I enjoy giving my clients a taste of my culture and being a part of their lives, watching their families grow, and knowing that they're happy in the home I helped them buy.
