I specialize in Residential Real Estate Transactions in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. My core area is the north central and northeast suburbs of Shoreview, Lino Lakes, Arden Hills, Roseville, Saint Anthony, New Brighton, Moundsview, Blaine, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake, Hugo, and surrounding areas. I am not limited to these areas, however, and with the help of the RMLS (Regional Multiple Listing Service), can work with buyers and sellers in all parts of the Twin Cities.
The Real Estate Market has changed, why haven't most Realtors? Because most are too caught up in spending their time and money promoting themselves rather than taking care of their customer's needs.
I like to think of myself more as a consultant than a salesperson. A real estate transaction has never been more complicated than it is right now. I feel I can add tremendous value to clients by minimizing the time, money and energy spent on poorly executed or ill-advised transactions. I use technology not only to market homes, but to expedite and simplify the transaction process. This includes the use of electronic signature technology and sending documents through email and e-fax whenever possible Of course, for those who prefer paper and pen and consultation at the kitchen table, we still do that, too!
The Real Estate Business is changing constantly, and so is the technology that shapes the way it is conducted. Long gone are the days that people needed a Realtor just because they controlled the information about Listings, Sold data, etc. The Information Age and the Internet has made almost all real estate information available to everyone. Gathering Information is easy these days, but due to the sheer amount of information (a lot of it inaccurate), how a person processes this is vital to simplifying a real estate transaction and ensuring a favorable outcome.
The burst of the real estate bubble has also brought about much new legislation, new restrictions and regulations in real estate. Being able to understand and anticipate how these will impact your individual transaction is very important to staying on track to a smooth closing.
