Buying a Home


Looking to buy a home but know you would benefit from some expert guidance? Remember that "strategy" plays a tremendous role in every real estate transaction. Buyers who enlist agent representation gain a huge advantage in the market, because a listing agent represents the seller, not you!  They have a fiduciary responsibility to that seller which includes getting the most money possible for that client. So who's looking out for you? I am!

"We always felt that you were working for our best interest as opposed to trying to get the deal done and I doubt we would have felt that way with many of the other agents out there"..... Anna Forzani, Basking Ridge  

Learn How a Buyer's Agent Can Save you Time, Money and Stress.

Simply put - because you need an experienced professional who will put your interests first and will provide services and guidance not offered by the seller's agent. Seller's agents are committed to obtaining the highest price for their listing clients. This is not only their desire, but their duty. A buyer's agent knows the area and communities well, she has the negotiating experience, the "inspection issues" experience and important community information that you will never have if you search on your own.

Finding the perfect home presents a daunting challenge. Your internet searches yield possibilities, yet you know that when viewed in person, many of those possibilities will be entirely unsuitable for your needs. You could waste days - or even months - making appointments and viewing the wrong homes or even missing those secret “exclusive listings” that are not on the MLS yet. But there is an easy solution.

Because I specialize in real estate in Morris and Somerset Counties, I have viewed many of the homes that will interest you, and I know the unique characteristics and what each home and neighborhood has to offer. I can tell you if a home is located near a school, or the private airport you need for a daily commute. I can also tell you if it has highway noise or railroad tracks nearby. After talking with you and making note of the items on your wish list, I can narrow the field so that you see only those homes that are a possible fit. No wasted time!

Assistance in locating necessary third parties - Once you've found your home and had your offer accepted, you'll need inspectors, insurance, a closing attorney, a mover, and others. You may also need a mortgage broker or a repair service. After the closing you may want to find a lawn care or housekeeping service. I'll put you in touch with the people who have served my clients well in the past and have passed the rigorous scrutiny of the Keller Williams Concierge Service Program.

By showing you only those homes that meet your criteria, I will respect your time and shave days, weeks, or even months from your selection process.
