About:

I am a licensed Broker in VA, an associate at RE/MAX Peninsula. I specialize in helping people make their dreams come true through sound real estate investing. I am a licensed Broker in VA, an associate at RE/MAX Peninsula. I specialize in helping people make their dreams come true through sound real estate investing. I am an Accredited Buyers Representative but only about 50% of my sales clients are buyers; 50% are sellers. The other 10% are Property Management clients. (I do give 110% percent!) I like to keep that balance between Buyers and Sellers so I can stay on top of the market, seeing things through both sides of aisle-- keeps me fresh and current!! I recently met the requirements to become a Certified Distresssed Property Expert (CDPE) so I can better serve homeowners who are behind on their mortgage, or are anticipating getting behind, due to a change in cirmumstances or who HAVE to move and are "upside down" on their property. It is possible to save your home from a foreclosure (which will lower your credit score an average of 300 points, stay on your report for 10 years, and even effect your job or security clearance). People have options they don't know about, so I want to be able to help as many as I can. Last year, I achieved the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation so I can better represent my Sellers in this Buyer's market. Probably, though, I am most noted for my aggressive Buyer advocacy, having been an ABR for a number of years.
I also have a good Property Management business, specializing in residential management and rentals. I have been managing properties for over 18 years-- up to as many as 102 at one time-- and selling and marketing real estate for over 11 years. I work mostly by referral, treating my customers with such outstanding care, that they want to refer their friends and family to me. That way, I get to work with great folks and don't have to spend any time cold-calling, door knocking or sending out junk mail like the average real estate agent.
I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, the Virginia Association of Realtors and the Virginia Peninsula Association of Realtors, where I serve on the Public Policy Committee. I take the Realtor Code of Ethics very seriously- trust me, I have seen some doozies out there! Whew! I also take the professional aspect of my field very seriously too. I ask my clients, customers and co-brokers to hold me accountable-but I am my own hardest critic. I think people pay a lot of money for real estate services and they deserve top service, reliability and constant care and contact. I hate salespeople who try to just get the "deal" done. I like to give personal attention and therefore only work with a handful of buyers at one time.
In my spare time, I volunteer for several organizations including Save the Bay, HR Pride and the local SPCA, but my two main volunteer activities are Equality Virginia, fighting for equal rights for ALL Virginians, Hampton Roads OUTreach Center, where I am president of the Board of Directors. I am a founding member and recently retired from the BOD of Hampton Roads Business Outreach, too. These three organizations are helping to make Hampton Roads and Virginia a better, and friendlier, place to live and I am so proud to be a part of those organizations.
I am also a proud Jersey Girl and so pull no punches, as you will note by my answers on the Trulia Q and A. Any time you have a question and need a non-nonsense answer from a seasoned professional, feel free to email me directly. ... show more

I've been looking for a house in areas adjacent to Ghent and ODU (Park Place, Highland Park and Lamberts Point) where a lot of development is

Asked Sun Nov 15 2009, 20:37 by Brad - Market Conditions in Lamberts Point - 5 answers

Nice house, Ed.

Brad-- this is an example of what you can do with these classic beauties.

I am all about sweat equity, though, and don't advise my buyers to pick the prettiest (and probalby most expensive) one in the neighborhood. If you want to maximize your investment, get a property that is structurally sound (or one the seller will MAKE structurally sound for you) and do the fixin' youself - and it does not have to be down all at once. Even if you can't swing a hammer (I am about that bad), just acting as your own general contractor and making upgrades yourself will save you thousands & thousands of dollars.

I think the trouble alot of home sellers are in today stems from the fact that they overpaid from the get-go. Buyers are easily seduced by things like solid-surface counter tops, designer paint colors and staging. I try to get Buyers to see the possiblities of buying something less than perfect. THAT is a good investment!

If you want to get real good real estate- call an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR)- they have been trained in this stuff. - Mon Nov 16 2009, 05:24
