Areas of Expertise

Relocation

Relocating to a new city can be one of the most stressful events a family or individual can experience. You may or may not be familiar with your destination city, and may have many questions about your move. It is my job, as your agent, to educate you on our community and try to make your transition as smooth as possible. I will provide you with information on our housing market, contract formalities, local schools and colleges, community events, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.

I have experience working with 3^rd party relocation companies, and I developed close working relationships with the relocation counselors. It is my job to keep everything about your move as streamline as possible, and to keep your relocation counselor informed. I am a certified with SIRVA Relocation and Cendant Relocation Services

If you are relocating somewhere other than the Omaha Metro Area, please let me know and I will provide you with free information for your destination city! I will also arrange for a qualified Realtor® to familiarize you with your new city, and help you find a new home.

Selling Your Home

Once you have decided you are going to move, the next big decision it to hire a Realtor® you can trust to help you sell one of your largest assets. As your listing agent, my goal to market your home for maximum exposure in order to net you the most amount of money. I provide top notch service to all my sellers with my extensive marketing plan, and knowledge of technology. I would be happy to provide you with my pre-listing package: "Listing Strategies: Points of Difference". Please give me a call, and I would be happy to deliver a copy to you.

First-Time Home Buyers

When you have finally decided to invest in the largest asset of your life, it can be very scary. Often times you are entering into un-chartered territory, and may have questions about the home buying process. As your agent, I will help you with the home buying process and educate you what you need to know about buying your first home. I will help you with the negotiations on your purchase agreement, and inform you about the many different options you may have on the purchase agreement. For example: How much is an earnest deposit? What kind of inspections do I need? Do I want a home warranty? When do I want to close? What is title insurance?

Technology

Technology has become a key player in real estate because over 85% of home buyers do research on the web first. I believe technology is a vital way I can market your home, and help you find your new home. As an agent, I am a step above the rest with the use of technology, and my marketing strategy. I am a strong believer technology will help me provide the quality service you deserve. Call me today, and ask me about the different ways I can help you with selling and buying real estate.
