I Am Your Champion
Buying or selling a home is one of the most important personal and investment decisions people have to make. I prepare my clients carefully and work with them during every step of the process. In what can be a competitive market, I am your champion.
Clients have told me that I have a sixth sense for timing. Along with carefully honed negotiating skills, my willingness to walk the extra mile to achieve a fair transaction accounts for a large and steady flow of referrals and requests for my services.
With nearly a decade of experience, I've won many prestigious awards for performance in the residential sales market and have strong ties to the area real estate community. But no one can rest on their laurels. I diligently keep abreast of the latest marketing strategies and trends through my own network and by attending professional conferences year round.
Before entering real estate, I worked for Winchester Gardens assisting individuals transitioning from independent living to retirement community life. I'm a current member of the New Jersey Association of Realtors and a lifelong resident of Essex County including South Orange, Maplewood and Short Hills.
Awards & Notices
I work hard for my clients and these awards reflect that effort.
I have consistently ranked in the top tier of real estate agents in my area for the last nine years running. Recently, I received the prestigious President's Council Seal, an award given to only the top producers. I have also earned the distinction of being a platinum level seller, the highest recognition offered by the NJ Association of Realtors.
What does all of this mean to you? It means that I will work harder for you than anyone else in the area. I take my job seriously and prove myself every day with the deals I secure for my clients. After all, I need to keep those awards coming!
To qualify for The New Jersey Association of Realtors Platinum Level Award, a realtor must sell at least $25 million dollars worth of real estate and conduct a minimum of 30 transactions. For 2003, only 15 realtors achieved this distinction in my region.

About Appraisals >Fair Market Value
What is the best price for a piece of real estate? Mortgage lenders, appraisers, and real estate brokers use what is called the "fair market value" (FMV). FMV has been defined as "the price that a buyer is willing to pay and the seller is willing to accept, when both parties are knowledgeable about the property and neither is under any time pressure to buy or sell". Sounds great, but how is this price determined?
The starting point for determining a fair price may be an opinion of the value or "comparative market analysis". Such an analysis uses information on similar properties which are: 1) currently for sale, 2) already sold, or 3) expired properties (those which did not sell). Local, national and international trends and market conditions must also be evaluated.
By comparing similar properties in each of the three categories and the market conditions, appraisers, lenders and agents come very close to the maximum price that buyers would be willing to pay for a house.
