My Business Philosophy

My business philosophy is based in helping and educating the people I work with on one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. It is important to me to meet the needs of each individual client, to take the time to get to know them and to help my clients make the decisions that are in their best interest. People usually don’t buy and sell houses several times a year, or even several times in a decade, and this process is not a transparent one, especially with ever-changing market conditions.

I became an agent because I found that a lot of friends looked to me for help when it came time for them to buy a home. They trusted my judgment and knew that I cared about them. I would help them out the best I could, explaining things that their agents didn’t take the time to do, but I didn’t have all the right tools and complete knowledge base, so I went back and got properly trained for it.

Although I have a Master’s degree in public health, my old job traveling and working in international health and development was strangely unsatisfying. Because of the immensity of the problem, I never felt that my individual contributions made much of a difference – very different than working in real estate!

What my clients will get out of their experience with me is someone who will work hard for them every day after we decide to work together, someone who will put their minds at rest and someone who will make this process as smooth and worry-free as possible. Whether my clients are buying or selling an efficiency or a million dollar home, I give the same care, hard work and attention to detail in every transaction.

In people’s lives, they have accountants, lawyers and financial advisors who they can call on to help them with the problems in their lives, but many don’t feel like they have a realtor that they can regularly call upon for advice or help. My clients know that they can come to me throughout their lives with any real estate need - long after they have bought or sold their home.

Feel free to contact me whenever you have any additional needs or questions. I'm quite easy to get into touch with - just email me  (I’m very accessible on my Blackberry wherever I might be), or give me a call on my cell phone (703) 624-4657!
