"Your Full Time, Full Service Realtor"
Providing a superior level of informed, professional real estate services to buyers and sellers in most of Northern & Central California.

As a top producing REALTOR® in Solano County, I closed an average of 50 transactions in each of the last several years, including several for over one million dollars. More than three-quarters of my transactions were those in which I represented the seller; for almost a quarter of those, I also brought the buyers to the transactions. My office has closed 50 transactions, this year, even though the market has slowed down considerably. Our success is largely due to aggressively marketing our bank owned and other listings. Some of our marketing strategies are:

• Open Houses and showings, as needed



• My Website www.aroundtowninfo.com and its links to other websites & search engines



• Continuous and varied print advertisements and articles



• Full color, property specific mailings to targeted areas attracting buyers and sellers



• Access to several MLS, covering much of Central California, including BAREIS, Paragon, & Metrolist



• Regularly attend REALTOR® marketing meetings at the Solano Association of Realtor's Board Office



• Networking with property owners, sellers, builders, and other local professionals



• Frequent e-mail flyers to thousands of agents and buyers



• The ability to usually negotiate short sales with you and your lender, if you owe more than your property is worth

The fact that I am committed to vigorously marketing my listings and employ a staff of three licensed assistants makes me especially qualified to get your property sold. I sell many of my listings myself and I have a large network of buyers in your home’s price range. It would be my pleasure to personally speak with you about your wants and needs – or just discuss the market in general. Thank you for your time.

WE DO SHORT SALES!

Do you want to sell your home, but owe more than it's worth? We may be able to help. We will handle all bank negotiations so you can move on with your life. Don't wait until it's too late! Call us, today!

A Short Sale occurs anytime the value of the property is less than the amount owed to the lender and the lender agrees to write off the difference. Short sales may be forced by a variety of situations: job loss, loss of income, divorce, medical bills, or changing payments on adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs).

Why would a lender agree to a short sale? Lenders want to avoid spending time and money to foreclose, evict borrowers, and resell properties. They want to avoid paying property taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs. They want to avoid risking theft and vandalism to the property. Before the mortgage lenders will consider a short sale, they need to know financial information about the seller and why the seller cannot pay the loan. The seller will need to submit information to the lender to assist the lender in deciding whether to accept a short sale.
