Yes, I Provide Services for FREE!

With the housing slump not looking to end soon, I continue to look for ways to remain competitive in a slow market. These extra efforts often include offering services beyond simply helping someone buy or sell a home.
People don't know how to ask for these services.  I offer these for FREE so I can be helpful.


Home staging
Since first impressions can be key in swiftly selling a home.  I actually have a staging team.  These representatives do more than just provide a few suggestions for making your home more attractive to potential buyers. In many instances, they will come and overhaul your home before they start showing it to potential buyers.  I will also put together, for no extra charge, a virtual tour of the house that can be viewed online. This service has becoming increasingly popular as more and more homebuyers start their home search by looking at Internet listings.

Property-value analysis
I will conduct an in-depth analysis of a property's value for a homeowner, using the data the MLS has on record for recent sales in the area to determine its worth.
Property values are like stocks; they go up and down.  They're also heavily influenced not just by state but by neighborhood, so direct access to the most recent data can be much more helpful than just relying on online estimates.

Tax breaks

Some homeowners are trying to fight their current tax assessment due to the values dropping significantly.  I do this generally for anyone who asks. It provides value now, maintains the relationship and ultimately they become a client.
I'll do this for anybody who calls me and asks me what their property is worth.


Neighborhood analysis
I also provide my clients with an in-depth analysis of the neighborhoods they are looking to move into. While laws prohibit agents from directly disclosing demographic information, they can direct buyers to where they can find pertinent information, and they can speak directly about schools in the area.
People always find information about schools very useful.


Discounts on local services
I engage in "affiliate marketing" by arranging partnerships with other businesses in the area. I provide contact information to reputable movers, utility providers and cable companies so they can help people settle into their new home.
Many times I will also be able to provide discounts that can be used at nearby hardware stores, such as Home Depot or Lowe's, or even with contractors in the area.
However, as with an in-depth property value analysis, I offer these referrals to people who aren't looking to buy or sell a house.
People call regularly years after they have bought a home.  I have provided recommendations for services such as roofing and relocation to nonclients who have called me.


When looking for real estate services in the near future please dont' hesitate to contact me.  I would love to help!
