Selecting Your Agent

Some of the most important things you should look for in a real estate agent are knowledge, experience, ethics and communication skills.

First, you'll want an agent who has extensive experience in and knowledge about our local Hampton Roads market which includes the cities of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake and Suffolk on the Southside and Newport News, Hampton, Yorktown and the Northern Neck on the Penninsula.  I have nearly 15 years of active real estate experience in the Southside cities of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake and Suffolk and a background of knowledge about the area beaches, shopping, restaurants, attractions, schools and neighborhoods. I also believe an extensive knowledge of our real estate contracts is vital to the transaction. 

Second, you'll want an agent with the highest ethical standards.  I am a member of the National and Hampton Roads Realtors Associations and am bound by the code of ethics. More importantly, I treat my clients the way I would want to be treated and I always look out for my clients best interests.

Third, you'll want an agent who has good communication skills.  I really listen to my clients needs and wishes about the type of home and location they are looking for.  I keep them informed and guide them through the process so that it is a pleasant experience and they know they've made a good decision.  I also believe that good communication helps in the negotiation process.

I look forward to being Your agent!
