RESULTS!!

Marie works full time at real estate -- this is not a hobby, nor part-time career from afar. I visit an average of 12 homes per week so that when it comes time to price a home or show it to buyers, I can discuss it first hand. Marie is there through the negotiation, inspection, and appraisal. She is the go to person who manages your entire negotiation.

Marie knows that "maximum exposure" isn't just a real estate buzz word, and puts her money where her mouth is. Maximum exposure, that tired phrase of realtors, is actually a key component to selling your home. But it goes beyond plastering pictures on the web --- you want your home to look it's best, and that's why Marie, an avid photographer herself, still chooses to use a professional real estate photographer and graphics designer to put your portfolio together. She knows that homes with six or more photos get 299% more visits, and they better be the most flattering photos -- there is no second chance. You get one chance at a first impression. While that first impression used to be the front of your home and entry foyer, it's now the internet. Buyers spend an average of 4 - 6 weeks on the Internet before they even call a realtor in many cases. They also make up their minds in the first 15 seconds or so, and after that they are talking themselves into or out of your home. Let me help you make that experience a positive one. Click on my listing hotline and peruse the photos, virtual tours, and tri-olds first hand, and compare them to any other photos on realtor.com. From condo to mansion, I engage the same professional for all of my sale listings. Wearing your buyer hat, imagine which homes you would choose.

Transaction Management -- Stop in one day and view the sometimes four inch or more thick closing files. Marie develops a custom action plan for every seller listing and each of her buyers. Whether you like to micro-manage or look at only the big picture, Marie has a tailored plan to meet your needs. For sellers, you can have this plan's action steps posted in a password protected private network on the web if you so desire. With all the steps spelled out, and completion dates noted, you know 24 / 7 where your listing stands.

These are just a few of the highlights. Call Marie for a free consultation.

Buyers. As part of her routine tour, Marie will point out the various areas of each town, pointing out recent sales, days on market, interior elements, etc. When you zero in on particular areas, Marie will send you comps showing active, under contract, and sold going back about 4 months, for each. It is her goal to have you as educated about the area you wish to reside as most realtors. Because she visits an average of 12 homes per week on broker open house, she can describe the intricacies of each.
