I entered the real estate business in 1987, coming into real estate having previously worked as a Pharmacist. The most surprising realization I had with my employment change was the fact that the majority of customers I encountered didn't seem to trust Real Estate agents the way they did Pharmacists. Being trusted was the way I was used to being received and this was very different. According to the Gallup Polls, Pharmacists are the most trusted individuals of any profession. Needless to say, the stereotype many people have of Madison Wisconsin Real Estate agents, and real estate agents in general is that Real Estate agents are something less than trustworthy. With that in mind, I realized that gaining people's trust was something that had to be earned. It wasn't given automatically, Since that time, I've worked very hard to ensure that people realize those bad stereotypes don't apply to all agents, especially not to me.
"I don't believe in sales pitches or in "canned presentations". I believe in a straightforward approach. People are smart enough to make their own decisions as long as they have all the pertinent information available to them to take into consideration. Hiding, misleading or not disclosing information isn't going to help you find the right home or sell the one you have. They won't help me to earn an income in the long run either or obtain your future business or personal referrals.
I specialize in residential and residential income property sales in the Greater Madison area. I am very skilled at negotiating the best price and terms for my clients. I have great attention to detail and have a thorough understanding of real estate related contracts. Whether buying or selling real estate you can rely on and trust my expertise.
I care about making a difference and treating you with respect. In short, treating you the way I'd like to be treated myself. I know that your trusting me with one of your biggest life's decisions is a big responsibility and it's one that I take very seriously. I promise that I will never high-pressure you into doing something that you don't want to do. That concept is so foreign to me that I'm not sure I'd know how to do it, even if I wanted to! You'll get as much information as you want, need or ask for. My customers and clients refer friends and family to me because they know I'll always do whatever is needed to make sure that everything goes smoothly from start to finish. In today's market, my knowledge, negotiating skills and willingness to work hard to get the job done are things you can count on.
I take great pride in my work. I don't ever want anyone to accuse me of not caring, being deceitful or being sloppy. I'll try very hard to understand your wants and needs by listening. I have two ears and one mouth and I'll try to use them in that same proportion. I won't tell you anything just to get a listing or to make a sale and I won't make up an answer to fit an occasion. If I don't know the answer, I'll find out the answer. You'll never receive any pressure, and there never will be any. You can trust in that!
