The Realtor Who Does His Home Work!

Hello and Thank You for stopping by my website today.  Please spend a few minutes looking at the many resources and information I've made available to you here.  I am a native Topekan and think we have a great quality of life here with friendly people, a steady economy and an excellent real estate market.  I have been a Realtor for 18 years and have many happy clients in the Topeka and Shawnee County, Kansas market.  I also service the Auburn, Berryton, Pauline, Seaman, Shawnee Heights, Tecumseh and Washburn Rural areas. 

I'm a Full-time Agent and I specialize in helping you make an informed decision regarding the biggest investment most people will ever make - buying or selling a home.  My website offers you the convenience of technology without losing the personal touch.  There are many FREE REPORTS covering the details of buying or selling a home that you can print out. 

I have customized packets for buying or selling that contain good hands-on, practical information and paperwork that I think you would find valuable.  I would be happy to send you one free of charge with no obligation if you are thinking of getting into the market soon.  It can never be too soon to start organizing your thoughts about buying or selling.

If you are a Seller, my promise is to give your home the widest exposure possible to reach as many qualified buyers as possible.  My goal is to sell your house not just list it.  I will help you get the most equity out of your house by helping you stage it, price it and promote it so it will sell and close in your time frame.  I invite you to examine the listings on my website which are a good example of how I have achieved success marketing homes. 

I believe the internet is fast becoming the biggest single source of listing information for buyers.  So far in 2008, 92% of my listings have SOLD at an average of 95% of the listing price.  I think showcasing them on my website had a lot to do with achieving that number.

If you are a Buyer, my promise is to respect your time by showing you only the properties that meet your specific needs in your price range and to help you evaluate each one on its merits.  I will help you with preparing the offer, negotiating on your behalf, financing, inspections and other moving details for a successful closing.  Buying or Selling, I want to be your source of help and information for making your move. 

I keep an extensive database of "tried and true" Service Providers who assist me in helping you transition from where you are to where you want to be.  No detail is too small and no question insignificant.  No need to feel embarrassed or intimidated.  Moving IS a big deal and not something people do very often.  I want to help you find the perfect home for you and your family.

Your satisfaction is my top priority!  I love what I do and I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm with you.  Thanks again for visiting and I hope we meet up together sometime soon!
