When you find the right home, what can you do to maximize your chances of actually getting it? The first step you should take is to make a prompt offer.

Whether you are in a buyers' or sellers' market, taking too much time to initiate an offer can cost you money, especially if you are planning to offer less than the asking price or will be asking for special terms. If your offer is the only one on the table, the sellers will consider it, and if they don't accept it, they may make a good counter offer. While you are "sleeping on it", however, you risk the possibility of another offer coming in. If another buyer appears on the scene, you lose an important advantage while you and the sellers are going back and forth with offers and counter offers. A buyer who really wants that special house will make the best possible offer --as quickly as possible.

As a native to Kansas and a former local high school English teacher in the Shawnee Mission school district, I am able to give buyers extra assistance and information on schools and the city. My license plate "REALTOR" lets everyone know my profession. My customers find that I am easy to work with and an excellent negotiator. My slogan "choose this LEFT handed realtor to help you make the RIGHT move" expresses my desire to help my buyers find the right home or my sellers to find the right buyer for the best price and terms. I have had my brokers/realtors licenses for over 22 and have consistently been one of the top 10 realtors in the city on both the Kansas and Missouri sides.

My education consists of BA and Masters from University of California at Berkeley. I have 3 daughters, 1 dog and 1 cat. My recently licensed Schipperke, Skipper, was rescued by me from a local animal shelter so he helps me find some DOG GONE good homes for my clients.
