FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The standard in the industry currently is 5% of the sale price paid for by the seller. There are times when that commission can be adjusted.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet at the office or a public space that the new customer would be comfortable with. I like to spend some time getting to know the person and then spend time to determine what their goals are: sale of a home, purchase, foreclosure, short sale etc. After that I like to explain what happens next whether it is to refer them to a bank official for a pre approval for a purchase or show them homes within their budget or homes they will be competing with for a sale. My goal is always to create a comfortable relationship that fosters trust and provides an environment that will lead to a very satisfactory transaction.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I spent over 15 years as a paralegal for a real estate law firm so I am experienced in all aspects of real estate in New York, with an extensive professional network of title agencies, attorneys, loan officers, etc that I can make available to my clients.
