I am proud to now be affiliated with William Raveis Real Estate,
New England's Largest Family-Owned Real Estate Company
Your "Orleans, Brewster, and Eastham Specialist"!
#1 Company Producer for The Real Estate Company in 2008
Please consider me as more than a real estate agent who can help you find just the right home to purchase, or who can tailor a powerful marketing strategy for the effective sale of your property.
I am a Mass. licensed Broker, which means I have received more professional training than a licensed Mass. Salesperson.
Most Realtors you will encounter are licensed salespersons.
...I will serve you as an expert advisor who will earn your trust, having lived
52 years on the Outer Cape (I moved here year-round in 1957), absorbing all the intangibles that make living here so wonderful.
Sellers will quickly learn that I have "on the ground", focused local market knowledge, and a demonstrable grasp of sophisticated marketing tools, both of which are vital in the challenging economic marketplace we are currently experiencing.
Buyers will find I have profound, robust knowledge of each of the communities I service. From microclimates to historical quirks to Conservation restrictions, I will provide those details that will genuinely enrich your decision-making process!
I make every effort, through weekly "Broker Tours", to personally visit every home "on the market" in the three towns I specialize in ( I also have strong familiarity with the Town of Harwich), which allows me to provide you, whether Seller or Buyer, with the focused personal insight you absolutely need to make informed choices.
Please take a moment to register for MLS Property Finder below allowing you to enter criteria about just those types of properties in the towns that interest you, "filtering out" those properties that do not!
-
Receive "New Listings Live" on your computer desktop and daily emails only when properties that meet your specific criteria enter the Cape Cod MLS inventory. Beat other Buyers to the best listings in the Town(s) and neighborhoods that interest you.
-
Search the MLS with full listing sheets, check school and community profiles of preferred towns, and save listings to view at any time!
-
You can also "free search" the broader marketplace at anytime!
I have owned homes in Brewster, Orleans,and in Eastham; where I currently reside.In addition to Orleans,Brewster,and Eastham, I have sold properties as both a Listing Agent and Buyer's Agent in Harwich,Yarmouth Port, Dennis Port, and Provincetown, and will certainly consult with you if you have an interest in purchasing or selling property in any town from Yarmouth to Provincetown.
I am truly interested in making sure your goals are fully met.I will listen carefully to you,
and continue to listen to you, throughout the buying or marketing process.

REAL ESTATE 101 For Sellers:
Ultimately, a Property is Worth what Real Buyers
Determine it is Worth through their Offers…..
Market sensitive pricing is the key to maximum exposure and ultimately, a satisfactory sale!
The existing “pool” of buyers determines a property’s value, based on:
· Location and topography of the property
· Availability of competing (comparable) properties
· Economic conditions that affect real property transactions
Factors that have little or no influence on the market value include:
· The price the seller originally paid for the property
· The seller’s expected net proceeds. The real market value of a home may or may not coincide with the price a seller believes it may command. Real Buyers ultimately set the “market price”!
· The amount spent on improving the property except as reflected in amenities that can be assigned real value in a professional review. (Soil evaluation, perk test, dwelling design plans, septic installation, etc)
· Nonetheless, the Seller sets the asking price. The Realtor’s® obligation is to educate the seller to the marketplace, and to offer guidance in pursuit of the correct pricing strategy.
The impact of accurate pricing includes these factors:
· Properties priced within the appropriate market range generate more showings and Offers, motivate Buyer Agents, and sell in a shorter period of time.
· Properties priced too high “chase behind the market” and attract a reduced buyer pool. Properties that remain unsold over an extended period of time can become “shopworn” in the mind of the marketplace, and especially in the mind of Buyer Agents who set showing schedules.
· It is true, however, that the more expensive the property, the longer it may take to sell, based on a more limited pool of “real buyers”.
