Buying and Selling -

Very few people know exactly what they want when they begin looking at acquiring real estate.  They have a list of wishes, some "must have"s  and some "no way"s.  But how to put that all together ...

That's where I come in.  I've lived in the Bay Area since 1976.  I know the neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods, the public and private schools, the shopping areas, the public transportation routes, how the city has been changing and what changes are in the offing.

Through the process of talking, exploring neighborhoods, and investigating properties, I can help you hone in on your goals and quickly identify the possibilities that will work for you.  Then, when THE place comes up, you're ready!

If you are thinking of selling your property, you probably know of recent sales in your area and are wondering how the current market conditions will affect the sale of your property.  I can provide you with a wealth of  property value statistics and trends, marketing and staging knowledge and resources that will pave the way for a smooth, successful sale. 

If you are selling an income property, I can help you work out the details of tenant rights and property showings, discuss what your long-term goals are and work with you to identify your next property for a 1031 Exchange, if that is your goal.

SRES

I am a registered SRES. 

SRES stands for Senior Real Estate Specialist.  I have been trained to understand the issues facing "Seniors" - this is all of us over 50, by the way! - as they consider how to handle life changes that involve real estate decisions. 

Common issues that come up are:
  • I'm feeling like I don't want the trappings of a house and I want to move into a place that will take care of everything -  including me, when the time comes!
  • How do I research places that I might like to move to?
  • Is my best choice to stay where I am and modify my place so that I can age in place?
  • My extended family and I want to form a living arrangement that will benefit all of us.  Where can we find a home with privacy and the amenities we all are thinking of?  How do we go on title together?
  • My mate is becoming increasingly disabled.  Do I need to move to a place where we can live together and my mate can get the needed care, or can I get the help we need and stay where we are now?
  • How do I deal with all the stuff I/we have accumulated in the last 40 years?  How do I distribute things among my family?
  • How do I deal with the family emotions over my/our current situation?

Working through issues is usually not an overnight process.  It takes some time to discover what is wanted, what is needed and how to acomplish what is decided upon.

Please feel free to use my expertise as a resource for even the simplest questions.
