 Pauls’ Keys to Buying

How much can I afford? 

Before you decide on what you want to buy, you need to take into consideration what price range you can afford.  The worst case scenario would be finding a great place after searching for weeks or months, and then find out from your lender that you can not afford it. The best way to avoid the situation is to allow me to work with a Mortgage Specialist to get you pre-approved, this way you will know your price limits and comfort zone.  

 Where do I want to live?

When deciding on an area to purchase, there are a few things to take into consideration. Yes, the ease of being within walking distance to schools and parks for the kids, short commute to work are important; but, perhaps the area is not the best investment with regards to potential market increase and future value. There are so many components to take into consideration.  Once you know your pricing limits, your  Realtor® will do their due diligence to find properties with a combination of convenience, investment potential, and selling potential.  If you know you have everything possible to satisfy your questions and concerns, it is now time to go buy it. 

Pauls’ Keys to Selling

What do I need to know before selling? 

Before selling your home, you need a clear understanding of the legal issues and potential pitfalls. Pricing, negotiating and real estate transactions should not be a stressful and difficult experience. As an experienced professional Realtor® and Mortgage Specialist I will take the time to go over every document that comes along with listing and selling a home.  

My combination of skills, experience, technology and network resources ensures that you can sell your home for the highest possible price in the shortest period of time. Here are some of the many tools I have to meet the demands of a highly competitive, modern market.

When you think about it, there are several other homes for sale competing with your home.  In today's market it is important to price your home 'for-sold'.  By researching sales in your area, I will provide you with a comprehensive (CMA) Comparative Market Analysis.  This will show you a range of prices being paid for homes mostly closely resemble yours.

 As soon as you list your home with me, I will enter your home in the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) database for maximum exposure.   MLS is a computer-based system that relays valuable information about your home to hundreds of REALTORS® and potential homebuyers giving them immediate access to your property information.  I also utilize Facebook pages, Instagram, am a Chamber of Commerce member, regularly publish in newspapers in the area and send out direct mail pieces to potential buyers.

Prospective buyers can access my site and view your property in their jammies if they wish! Your home will be uploaded to our unique automated online marketing system to make information accessible 24 hours a day, and to respond directly to each prospective buyer, to ensure they get information immediately about your home.

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to allow me to introduce myself. I am a Realtor® with Pemberton Holmes and a Mortgage Broker with Dominion Lending. 

In 1999, I completed the UBC Real Estate Urban Economics, June 2017, I diversified my business path and became a Realtor®.  In less than 2 years I achieved the leading new Realtor® agent award for 2018.  

Being dual-licensed is unique and advantageous as not every real estate transaction is the same. Purchasing and or selling a home are major events that will most likely have financing requirements and can have life-changing decisions. These decisions should be trusted to an agent who cares and understands what’s involved.  I am committed to a high level of communication, every step of the way.  I take the time to listen and educate my clients so that in the end, they are empowered to make their move with confidence.

I feel privileged to live, work and play in the Valley. I enjoy being actively involved in community organizations, charities and recreational pursuits. I enjoy boating, fishing, golfing and exploring the many trails and outdoor activities at our finger tips. 

My knowledge and experience give me the ‘home field’ advantage when buying, selling and finance real-estate.  When you are ready to become my client, or you just want to chat some more, click over to the contact section. 

I look forward to meeting you. 

 PS – Referrals are the greatest compliment we can receive.  I love them and so will you.
