PLEDGE
TO BUYERS
Although the current real estate market in Northern Virginia is
very challenging, Karen has been highly successful in obtaining homes for
her clients. With the shortage of available homes, it's just not easy to find
the right house. It really is a tremendous undertaking that Karen does not take
lightly. Karen and her team of highly trained specialists work diligently to
make sure your home search is successful.
One of Karen's Premier Services is the fact that she and her team
preview properties for you. Yes, they actually go out and look at homes on
your behalf. Karen calls this her "Personal Shopper Service". If you are
relocating, they will visit properties and choose the only the best for you to
see during your house hunting trip. If you are local, Karen and her team will
be the first ones there when the house goes on the market - and they'll call
you right away if it's a home you need to see. That way, you won't miss
valuable time from work - and you won't miss a good house, either. Karen makes
sure by doing all the legwork for you.
Because there is a shortage of housing inventory, this "Personal
Shopper Service" is vital to successfully find a home. However, negotiating
a favorable contract is also paramount. In a market where there are often
multiple contracts competing for the same house, it is invaluable to have
Karen's more than 20 years of negotiating experience. If it's a house you want,
Karen will do everything in her power to make sure that your contract is the
winning bid.
It is very important to "be the first one there" when a new house
goes on the market. Because Karen is a strong listing agent, you will often
be given advance notification of her new listings. Karen also networks closely
with many other top Realtors so that she will know when other new properties
become available. In addition, Karen has instant Internet notification set up
so she'll know when the market changes.
Once you find your home, Karen's highly skilled support team
swings into action to smoothly get you to Settlement. All the necessary
paperwork will be handled flawlessly. From Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, there are
always knowledgeable staff members in Karen's office to make sure that all your
real estate needs are taken care of. Karen and her team will work diligently to
make sure that they give you the best real estate experience of your life.
Giving unsurpassed service is Karen's pledge to you.

PLEDGE
TO SELLERS
Many people think that it's easy to sell a house in this current
Seller's market. Karen's answer is "That may be partially correct . . . but
it's really not that easy to get the best contract with the best terms. It
doesn't help the Seller if the Buyer's loan information is interpreted
incorrectly - or if all the necessary legal disclosures and documents are not
completed in the right way. Nothing happens magically without experienced
guidance."
Karen has an uncanny ability to correctly forecast market trends.
She can quickly analyze the optimum price for your home. Many times, she
sees other homes priced incorrectly. She knows the problems that come with
inexperience and incorrect pricing. Too high a price will make your home
languish on the market. If it's on too long, Buyers will probably think
something is wrong with the house. Too low a price will obviously lose you
money. The key is to set the most optimistic price possible. That's where
Karen's extraordinary market knowledge becomes your advantage.
You also need to know that price is not the only important
consideration when selling your home. Correct timing of your sale is
extremely vital. Perhaps you'd like to wait until school is out before you
move. Or maybe you have a house being built, but don't have a firm completion
date. Usually, Sellers prefer not to go into temporary housing. Instead, they
usually want a door-to-door move. Karen is a master at negotiating a sales
contract with your best timing in mind. Timing is just not something she leaves
to chance.
Because Karen has the reputation of being a strong listing
agent, she always has a list of ready Buyers waiting to see her new
listings. Even other Realtors want to be on Karen's notification list. She has
the ability to quickly and effectively get Buyers through your home. The result
is that you receive the benefits of having a number of ready, willing, and able
Buyers - in a very short period of time.
Of course, once Karen negotiates your sales contract, her support
staff will swing into action to carefully accomplish everything needed to
get you to a successful settlement. They will be available to help resolve any
problems - big or small. That's what Karen pledges to you . . . the best sale
and the best service!
