How I Can Help You: Building and Remodeling
When I think about one the most rewarding opportunities I have had in my life it always comes down to 18 years of experience with home building and remodeling.
I believe I look at existing homes like people look at rescuing animals. Every animal needs someone to take care of them and I think the same way about a house. I see its potential and what can be done to make it one of the greatest homes ever built. I see the unsightly flaws and how it has been left in a past era or just left abandoned and what can be done to bring it back to life. I literally want to rescue it, and make it mine if only for a short period of time. However, I also have to remember many homes do present costly consequences and sometimes do come with a hefty price tag.
During the buying process, I see buyers looking at homes that could be potential problems for them. This can be due to not noticing structural issues, poor condition, and dated properties that could mean high repair costs down the road. It is imperative to be able to see beyond the gleaming granite counter tops and the manicured yards.
Although, an inspection is needed and will eventually reveal potential problems, knowing this ahead of time can save the buyer time, money, and give the buyer negotiating power when purchasing their new home. Or on the hand, the buyer now has the option to pass and move on to the next home without delay.
Having me as your Real Estate Agent and using my knowledge and experience in the building and remodeling industry can solve many problems for you. First, I know when you tell me the style, period, and characteristics of a home you are looking I can dig deeper into your must haves and I know exactly what you are looking for. This saves you a lot of time when I am only showing you properties that you are truly interested in.
Second, when I show you a home I recognize there are issues long before we get to the inspection period, I can help you determine the approximate costs to remedy the repairs. This helps you determine if it is home you want to spend more time on or if it is a home you just do not want to put anymore energy into.
Lastly, when you are more informed as a buyer your negotiations with the seller are far greater. Knowledge is power and can get you a better deal!
My job as your Real Estate Agent is to be your advocate at my fullest capacity. Using my background and experience can be used for finding your dream home at the best possible price while helping you solve problems along the way.
