Buyer Representation and Advocacy
Purchasing a home is a large and highly important undertaking. Attempting to purchase a home without a licensed professional operating as your fiduciary is beyond risky, it’s reckless.
Must-haves prior to touring any home:
Pre-approval letter from your Lender.
Signed Buyer-Broker agreement for the property(s) of interest.

The compensation I charge is nonnegotiable.
The other nonnegotiable is the level of service and advocacy I provide my Clients. Guiding someone through defining their needs, then locating, negotiating and facilitating the purchase of a home that meets those needs requires hours upon hours of time and effort. This is why I limit the number of Buyer Clients I represent at any one time to 4.
Going back to when I purchased my first home, nearly 20 years ago. I couldn’t understand why my agent’s compensation was directly opposed to my financial best interest. In my experience this concern was always explained away by some variation of “it’s fine because you don’t pay me, the seller does”. It has now been made abundantly clear, not is not the case and it never was.
While my compensation is nonnegotiable, what IS negotiable is who pays this predetermined amount.
