real estate-of-the-art

Representation. In real estate, it can make the difference between finding or losing your dream home.

Not so long ago, Ohio law allowed Realtors only to represent a home's seller which left buyers unrepresented, and generally unaware that "their" real estate agent was actually required by law to look after someone else's best interests.

Luckily, the law has changed. And it's my privilege to represent both my buying and selling clients with a higher level of professional expertise than ever before.

When choosing a Realtor, look for the "ABR" designation Accredited Buyer's Representative. It's a sign of advanced professional education, and a commitment to top-caliber service. For my clients, it means more satisfied, informed buyers...and sellers who are confident in the selection of their next home.

Call me today. And use your "PRIDE" card when you buy or sell your home with me, for $100 gift certificate to Home Depot.
