Many states require the seller of a home to fill out a real estate disclosure statement when transferring the title. The disclosure is designed to reveal any material defects in the home to the new owner. When buying a home, take the time to read the fine print of the disclosure form.

Look for a section that asks the seller to indicate the material defects that exist in the home's major systems. Most forms will specify interior and exterior walls, ceilings, roof, insulation, windows, fences, driveway, sidewalks, floors, doors, foundation, and the electrical and plumbing systems. As the buyer you will want to know of defects in any of these areas.

Sellers are required to note the presence of environmental hazards or zoning violations. They must disclose if there are any encroachments or easements, or walls or fences shared with adjoining landowners. Room additions or repairs made without the necessary permits or not in compliance with building codes must be noted. Sellers must disclose citations or lawsuits against the property. If any such conditions appear on the disclosure form, consult with your real estate agent immediately regarding how to proceed with negotiation.

Real Estate is my profession and my passion; it never grows old. Each client I work with has different wants, different needs, different personalities, different styles, different backgrounds, different likes and dislikes, different areas and different neighborhoods. It makes every day and each transaction unique!

Trust is what I build my relationships on, both in my personal life and my professional life. I live by the GOLDEN RULE and I want it show vividly in everything I do. My past clients, both buyers and sellers, know that I listen first to their needs and expectations and follow with what is important to them. I realize it is the little things that can make a big difference.

Most consumers have a friend, a relative, or someone they know with a real estate license. I know the overwhelming feeling that comes with having to choose an agent. A few key things to look for are: Find someone that has several years of experience, that is professional, that works real estate on a full-time basis, that has earned various accreditations and training, that works for a large local brokerage, and that has testimonials from satisfied clients. (I have all of those qualities because I want to ensure my clients experience a first-class real estate transaction.)

My promise to you is this: I will strive not only to meet your expectations, but to exceed them. I will invest my time consulting, negotiating and caring for the needs of your real estate transaction. My goal is for you to have a superb experience which causes you to share my name with friends, family and co-workers. Yes, I actually like it when people talk about me!
