Why I qualify to receive your referrals:

I have been selling real estate full-time in the Simi Valley area since 1979.

For the first 18 years I was with Coldwell Banker where I earned Top Producer and President’s Club status consistently.

For the next 10 years I was with CENTURY 21 Hilltop. During that time I have been honored with the status of CENTURION Agent and my production has placed me in the top 10 of the company. I was inducted into the CENTURY 21 CENTURION HONOR SOCIETY as a Charter Member.

I am now with Troop Real Estate with 17 offices and over 600 agents. We are the largest Independent Real Estate Company in Ventura County.

I am not a part-time agent. I am not a new agent. I am a full-time experienced professional and I know what I am doing.

Any real estate agent, even one with one day's experience, can sell you a home or can sell your home. Experience, however, is critical and can make the difference in a smooth & successful transaction.

With buyers, the ability to be able to listen to their wants and needs and then be able to determine which homes fit those wants and needs takes experience. The experience to be able to look past the current inventory to determine which home really is right for the buyer. The ability to write the offer to insure that the buyer actually gets the home while at the same time insuring that the buyer does not over pay for the home. Most important, managing the escrow process to closing.

With sellers, it is the ability to understand the market, to know when to recommend pushing the price ceiling and when to back off. The resources to insure that the home is marketed to insure the seller receives the top price possible in the shortest amount of time. Most important, the knowledge to insure a smooth transaction and to keep the client away from potential legal problems.

It is not about awards or production levels. It is also not about sales and commissions. It is about insuring that the outcome of the transaction is in the best interests of the client. It is about not selling the buyer the wrong home just to make a sale. It is about selling the home in a manner and time frame that meets the needs of the seller.

When you refer me to a friend, business client or family member, or use my services yourself, you can be sure that they will feel that they have received the level of care and service that not only makes buying and selling a home bearable, but enjoyable.
