EXPERIENCE
Our business is operated on some basic principles: a strong belief in customer service, honesty and integrity, and an ability to advise fairly and negotiate successfully. For me as a realtor, one of the most satisfying feelings is to know that I was effectively involved in working together to help you make the right real estate choice... for you and your family. In my 34+ years, I've seen the best of times and the absolute worst. My Market knowledge, strong negotiation and communication skills, availability (call me now – I’m available), sound advice, integrity and my ability to "tell it like it is". As a listing agent, our use of technology and internet-based marketing, as well as Stephanie’s expertise with staging and design, is unmatched in our industry.
We have experience with home renovations having renovated our homes on various levels, from complete reconstructions to simpler kitchen and bathroom renos. I have owned income properties and am familiar the laws and financial implications of this type of investment. We are also former condo owners and condo board members with experience of how condominiums are managed. Finally, I have sales experience with vacation/waterfront properties, farms and luxury real estate. Our real estate success represents a combination of real estate experience and knowledge, with exemplary service and the commitment of professionals who really care.
