My Experience, Credentials, Track Record, and Awards
 I have held an active salesman's license since 1992 and obtained my broker's license in 2001. I have been a consistent top producer year after year with my company. I pride myself with being very knowledgeable about the Real Estate business. My goal is to make the buying and selling of Real Estate a positive experience. This can only be achieved through good communication--communication that extends to the title companies, lenders, surveyors, inspectors, cooperating brokers, and most importantly, the client. Buyers, I go the extra mile when working to find your permanent, retirement, or second home. I am a member of the Highland Lakes Board of Realtors, and I make all listings available to you, regardless of which company has the property listed for sale. Sellers, I will provide you with a comprehensive comparative market analysis so that you can make informed decisions on what to ask for your property. I aggressively market your property over the Internet and through more traditional advertising methods.

Disclosure Laws >Read the Fine Print
Many states require the seller of a home to fill out a real estate disclosure statement when transferring the title. The disclosure is designed to reveal any material defects in the home to the new owner. When buying a home, take the time to read the fine print of the disclosure form.
Look for a section that asks the seller to indicate the material defects that exist in the home's major systems. Most forms will specify interior and exterior walls, ceilings, roof, insulation, windows, fences, driveway, sidewalks, floors, doors, foundation, and the electrical and plumbing systems. As the buyer you will want to know of defects in any of these areas.
Sellers are required to note the presence of environmental hazards or zoning violations. They must disclose if there are any encroachments or easements, or walls or fences shared with adjoining landowners. Room additions or repairs made without the necessary permits or not in compliance with building codes must be noted. Sellers must disclose citations or lawsuits against the property. If any such conditions appear on the disclosure form, consult with your real estate agent immediately regarding how to proceed with negotiation.
