For Home Buyers
With the “heart of a teacher”, I patiently help first time as well as trade-up buyers to understand the buying process, introduce them to a mortgage professional in order for them to be aware of their financial requirements, and develop a plan to identify possible properties that are a match to their requirements.
I then work with them every step of the way towards successfully completing the purchase of their first property. This includes selecting an attorney, an inspector, and the many steps that are required along the way.
Having done this many times before my buyers benefit from my twenty years of local real estate experience. Let me lend my experience in this process to ensure your success along the way.
For Home Sellers
Life events such as divorce, empty nesting, and new physical needs often cause you to want to trade laterally (or down) in order for you to find a new house that better matches the needs resulting from these changes in your life.
It is a lot like trading up, but more as an adjustment in your living style while usually remaining in the same area. As someone who has gone through these life-changing events myself, I can lend an empathic ear to your new requirements and assist you along the way.
Understanding your options in selling or buying first is always a challenge. Having helped many others sort through their options in the past, I can help you choose the best route for your circumstances. I have published additional information here.
55+ Buying & Selling
As we begin to mature, our life styles often require us to take a close look at what type of housing conditions this process will require. As a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and a senior myself, I lend a lot of empathy.
I can assist you in the process of rightsizing in order to find a property that is better suited for you to “age in place”, finding 55+ communities in our area, and in disposing of your current property if the time comes for to you enter into an assisted living facility or relocation to a retirement area.
I am intimately familiar with this process and have many resources that I work with who can assist with the financing, tax, legal, and investment considerations.
And, being involved in the local Hunterdon and Somerset communities, I have in-depth knowledge about the services available to our senior community.
