In every real estate market, there are buyers who make offers that are far below the current market value of the property. How should you react if your agent brings you one of these "low ball" offers? Here are some scenarios for the seller.

If your home is priced very close to its fair market value, you can simply reject the offer and be reasonably confident that a better one will appear. However, if you have priced your home higher than other comparable homes in the neighborhood, the offer may not be unreasonable.

Ask your real estate agent for advice about the buyer's overall strategy. Do they really want your house or will they move on to another property if you make a counter offer? Can they afford to pay a higher price? Are there ways to close the gap with a small owner take-back, or with terms that will increase your bottom line? Take a hard look at your asking price and explore all your options before saying "no", especially if you are selling in a buyer's market.

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!
