I strive to deliver the best real estate service to my clients. I believe in a partnership approach as I work with you, with key real estate agents and leading brokers in San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Mendocino, Alameda, Oakland, and Lake Counties. My commitment can be seen in every facet of my service. I have long enjoyed a professional relationship with my peers. Friendly cooperation with fellow realtors is imperative in today’s competitive market. My clients are an active part of a successful relationship. Communication, responsiveness and a diligent understanding of the market are the keys to my success. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have lived in Marin and Sonoma counties since 1971. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Sonoma State University where I graduated with distinction and was the editor of the student newspaper. I began a career in sales shortly after college and soon recognized that my passion for sales and real estate were an innate combination. Naturally sociable, I enjoy working with people, and share a client’s joy when the perfect home is found.

How do I figure out what home I can afford in Rohnert Park?

Doug Hecker answered:
Meet with a local lender who will determine how much a buyer can afford. FICO score, income, down payment, and employment status will determine how much you can afford. Prices in Rohnert Park typically range between $200,000 (one bedroom condo) to $900,000 (five bedroom 3,000 square foot plus home). - Mon Apr 23 2007, 15:51
Doug Hecker answered:
FSBOs usually list with realtors after months of unsuccessful attempts to sell. Foreclosures are increasing and the possibility of purchasing a foreclosure and getting a good deal is more prevalent. - Mon Apr 23 2007, 15:51
Doug Hecker answered:
Most sellers are negotiating and now is a good time to buy (lower prices and lower interest rates with more inventory to choose from). There are a lot of condos for sale in Rohnert Park. - Mon Apr 23 2007, 15:51
