According to the Hall-of Fame football coach Lou Holtz

"The three universal questions that an individual asks of his [Realtor] are:"

1. "Can I trust you?"

Stoic

Courage. Wisdom. Justice. Temperance.

Stoicism’s teachings encourage individuals to: use one’s mind to understand the world, play their part in nature's plan, work together, and treat others fairly and justly.

While ancient in origin (dating back to the 3rd century BC) and Greek, Stoicism’s philosophical tenants have a current, relevant application in today’s competitive real estate market.

The success of my real estate practice can be attributed to impacting and improving the lives of real estate clients “the old fashioned way” – one client at a time.

Helping a client sell, buy, build or invest in a property is an art that:

begins with good listening, comes together with disciplined negotiation skills, and crosses the finish line with dedicated follow-up and consistent communication.

2. "Are you committed to excellence?"

Skilled

Kindness matters. So does skill.

Since 2017, I’ve helped 100s of highly satisfied real estate seller, buyer, and investor clients achieve their real estate goals - on their timeline, with joy and structure.

At the beginning of your home buying journey, we'll invest time to define your: goals, timeline, financial capacity, and emotional motivation.

Then, I'll employ careful disciplined listening, strategic questions, and proven resources to uncover what is important to you.

Next, we will co-create a custom plan designed to meet your real estate goals - in a way that is aligned with, and mindful of, current market trends and conditions.

Our journey continues with timely, open, direct, authentic communication; and a readiness to greet obstacles with a flexible spirit, a willingness to pivot, and an openness to explore alternative tactics.

Finally, we'll celebrate your success on closing day... and beyond.

3. "Do you care about me?"

Sherpa

UrbanDictionary.com defines Sherpa as "... the tribe in Nepal whose social custom was to provide humane and courageous mountain guides to outsiders."

You could climb Mt. Everest all on your own, but why would you want to when a Sherpa could ensure a safe, successful journey?

Similarly, you could sell and buy real estate all on your own. But why would you want to navigate the challenges associated with negotiating offer(s), handle the mountain of paperwork that accompanies an Upstate New York State real estate transaction, and deal with the bumps that inherently crop-up between contract and closing?

Selling and buying real estate is an emotional journey. For many, it is the single most expensive and demanding transaction one will ever undertake. A skilled real estate Sherpa will act as your trusted advisor. Insulate you from the problems and pitfalls that are inherent to a residential real estate transaction. Be your advocate. Work tirelessly on your behalf. Become your "Realtor for Life".

Your home selling or home buying journey awaits.

Let the adventure begin.
