When possible, I function as a Buyers' Broker and treat every search as a customized process. My background as a city planner and real estate developer have trained me to understand, and help you define your needs. Together, we will create an architectural and financial program that we will use to search for real estate.

We operate together deliberately and in a business-like manner. Every home you see should fit your specifications, with no time wasted and no pressure. I encourage you to contact me and let me set up a customized property search for you. You will then receive pre-screened listings that I have reviewed through e-mail. If you wish me to customize a search for you, please scroll to the bottom of this page and provide me with your contact information so that I can contact you to develop the search with you.

~Once we begin viewing real estate, my experience in many of Westchester�s communities can be helpful to you in assessing potential locations. Having worked in many of the Westchester's communities, I can help you avoid problems as well as exploit opportunities.

~When we find a potential purchase, I will help you review objective sales data to guide you in the negotiating process. My experience in preparing for and structuring negotiations may help you manage a difficult situation and get the most value for your budget.

~I will remain as a resource to you through the inspection, contract review, financing and the closing process.

First Time Buyers

I am accustomed to working with first time buyers and understand that it is my obligation to patiently guide you through the entire process. Most importantly, I must share my knowledge and information with you so that you are armed with the facts to make informed decisions.

The steps are:

~ Monthly Budget I am accustomed to providing guidance on this issue, and we may also involve your financial advisor or accountant. It is also essential that we examine the tax advantages of home ownership, and the greater power they provide.

~Financing We will discuss financing options and then integrate the advice of mortgage bankers/brokers. I will advise you on the pre-approval process and help you select potential lenders. Down Payment options will also be explained.
