  Assisting Buyer and Seller clientele in the Durham Region and Greater Toronto Area via preparation of customized marketing plans tailored to their specific needs. For selling clients of single family detached residential homes, townhomes or condos, my unprecedented level of services will not just meet, but exceed their expectations. From arranging professional photography to full home staging and creation of stellar marketing packages featuring top quality brochures, each and every client can be assured that the burden of selling their home is taken off of their shoulders. I say to anyone looking for a full service agent, to "lighten your load" and put me to work for you. For Buying clients, whether you are a first-time buyer, a move-up buyer or empty-nester looking to downsize, I pay special attention to what your exact needs are. I want my buyers to feel assured appreciated and that I am listening to all of their needs and wants. This not only serves them well but creates an atmosphere of trust. I want my Buyers to know that I am on the job 24/7 helping them to search for that perfect home. Time is everyone's most valuable commodity, and to that end, I find that I can best serve my clients by looking for ways to reduce the burden of having them navigate through the complex task of finding a home. Often, that will involve previewing homes in advance on their behalf, scrutinizing listings and inquiring about targeted properties and connecting my Buyers with trusted resources in the legal, home inspection and mortgage fields. And, lastly, I can never place enough emphasis on providing my Buyer clients with as much education as possible - whether that be about current market conditions, past sales in their targeted area, steps involved in the negotiating process, information about different neighbourhoods within their desired community or whatever else may be of relevance and value.
