In addition to guiding you through every step of the purchase process, we continuously analyze current market activity, trends and conditions. Our market expertise is beneficial as it enables you to make intelligent decisions, strengthens our position to negotiate on your behalf and ultimately enhances our ability to provide superior representation.

For example, we track the number of homes that are currently listed for sale vs. the number of homes that have accepted an offer (pendings) to determine market ratios. Another important component we consider is how long listings have been on the market. We track the volume of competing listings in every price point and sales-per-price point to identify important trends. Furthermore, we analyze assessed values vs. the sales of prices of recently sold comparable homes to determine the ratios. We also assess appreciation rates and track absorption rates to determine how many months of inventory are currently on the market.

We will educate you about current market conditions, which will have a direct impact on our negotiation approach.  Our research methods are a tremendous benefit to you as our market knowledge enables us to effectively strategize your offer. Furthermore, our research and analysis gives us the ability to articulate and apply our data to make a strong case as to why a seller should accept your offer.

Our market expertise combined with our experience, high-level of education, knowledge, commitment, professionalism and strong negotiation skills will provide you with a successful purchase. We look forward to working with you and navigating your way through real estate.
