When you consider a Realtor®, please note that I do not offer "limited service" to my clients (Limited Service Listings are listing agreements under which the Listing Broker will not participate on the seller's behalf in negotiations leading to the sale of the Listed property). I only offer full service with full representation & aggressive negotiation, and total sales & transaction management from listing to closing, regardless of the commission rate.

My Sales & Marketing Plan Has Resulted in Over 500 Career Sales!

I have spent a great deal of time analyzing what is happening in our local real estate market. Here is a summary of my research based on MLS data, discussions with other agents and the feedback I've received from my own buyer clientele.

1. Buyers absolutely will NOT buy a home right now unless the BUYER feels that it is an UNBELIEVABLY PHENOMENAL "deal".

2. Buyers EXPECT sellers to pay their closing costs which are calculated at 3% of the purchase price.

3. Buyers will WALK AWAY from any seller counteroffers that in any way indicate that the seller is trying to control the terms of the sale.

4. Every day that a home is on the market DECREASES its value. The buyer perception is that the seller is out of touch with the reality of the current real estate market.

5. Buyers will NOT waste their time making offers on overpriced homes, hoping to "educate" the seller that it is a BUYER'S MARKET. There are too many homes to choose from.

6. If a home is not under contract right now, it is only HELPING SELL OTHER HOMES, because buyers are comparing it to the one that the buyer perceives is the "better deal".

Based on this assessment, I have developed a Sales & Marketing Plan that has proven successful in all price ranges which incorporates strategic pricing, a call to action, extensive market penetration and financial incentives.

Step 1 ... "Admit that it is a Buyer's Market"

What's My Home Worth? www.UtahHomeValues.net

In the “old days”, all real estate agents used to work for the seller ... even if the buyer’s “agent” didn’t know the seller, and the buyer thought that “their” agent was working for them. Fortunately for home buyers, things have changed. And now, you are entitled to have your own agent, representing you and your best interests, and not that of the seller’s. Many home buyers feel that they can get a better deal on a home if they work directly with the seller’s agent, because the commission will be less. While this may or may not be true of the agent’s compensation, it absolutely will not result in you getting a “better deal”. When the agent acts as a limited or dual agent in the process, that agent is contractually bound not to strengthen or weaken either the buyer or the seller’s negotiating position. You could very well end up paying more than the home is worth. The moral of the story ... have your own agent represent you!

I OFFER THE FOLLOWING SERVICES TO MY BUYER CLIENTELE:

Reason #1: Help you find the right home to purchase by providing you with ample information concerning schools, crime statistics and the community.

Reason #2: Manage the negotiation of price and terms between you and the seller, to your advantage as the buyer.

Reason #3: Counsel you on the extensive, and legally binding, paperwork involved in one of the most significant purchases of your life.

Reason #4: Pre-qualify you so that you know how much house you can afford, and explain the different types of loan programs available based on your needs.

Reason #5: Assist you with locating a reputable, low fee lender who will arrange for your financing.

Reason #6: Prepare a market analysis for you so that you know what comparable homes are selling for in the community, and determine the real market value of the home you want to buy ... not just it's "list price".
