Specialties:

I feel that I have a good feel for connecting with people and guiding them through what can be a difficult buying or selling process.I really strive to I feel that I have a good feel for connecting with people and guiding them through what can be a difficult buying or selling process.I really strive to make it a pleasant experience for all involved.
Over the last six years i've built a team of Attorneys,Home Inspectors,Title,Insurance and "Truthful "Mortgage Specialists that all help me provide clients with a smooth process!!
As a buyer or more importantly, a "First Time Home Buyer" you'll feel extra comfortable with the honest way I do business.
Our initial Buyers Consultation is so important as a first step,Why? because you wouldn't hire a Doctor,Lawyer or an Architect and have them just start working for you without them having some knowledge of your situation,wants,needs,or requirements would you?That's why you sit down with them for a consultation.Yep,believe it or not,Real Estate is no different, it's actually a real proffessional buisiness too,unfortunately that's been lost in the shuffle somehow but that's not how I operate.
I truly feel knowing that your Realtor has a good sense of these things,will give you confidence that he or she has your best interests at heart and has taken the time to build a bond of trust between client an agent which is so important these days and that's how I do business.
Trust is the best way for me to get the job done quickly and the way it should be done....(Right )!! You'll know that when I advise you in pricing, how to structure your offer, the price of that offer or any other aspect we get involved in together, my advise will always be in your best interests and not motivated for any other reason.
I'ts important you walk away feeling satisfied,fully represented and confident you did the right thing.
Short Sales and REO properties are two of the latest crazes that I'm extremely knowledgeable in and i have a way to explain it all to you in understandable terms.In addition,I have an experienced Short Sale / REO team to assist in the many legal aspects of this type of transaction.
Managing a transaction from beginning to end and guiding the process in for a smooth landing no matter the difficulties that arise is a strong suite that I posses.
No matter your needs or situation buying or selling I have the experience ,knowledge, team and the right company to back me up and get the job done right for you! ... show more

When evaluating the price of a property, whether to sell or buy, do you consider only sold properties?

Asked Sun Jul 15 2007, 06:41 by Deborah Madey… - Home Selling - 13 answers

James answered:

Deborah,
I place most of my weigh into U/C homes becuase that is the price at wich an offer was triggered.I call it the temperature of the market.Once you have determined the best comp or average of comps.You have to make another important determination and that is the trend.Do your homework and figure out what % your area is depreciating on a yearly basis,break that down to daily multiply that by average DOM and take the % off the comp price.That will be the price you push.Allow the seller to cushion that price by adding the LP/SP ratio on top.
