Residential
As a Certified Residential Specialist, Accredited Buyer Specialist, and Seller Representation Specialist, I am uniquely suited to helping you navigate the sometimes winding path toward buying or selling a single or multi-family residential property*.
Whether you are dealing with a permanent residence, a rental property, owning/occupying a rental property, or seeking advice on what best suits your current financial situation and future goals, I have the experience, expertise, and local knowledge to ensure your next step is the best step up the property ladder.
*A property with fewer than five units is considered Residential. Anything larger than a 4-plex would fall into the Commercial category.
Investment Tips
from Sam
Real estate is obtainable. Period.
From the outside looking in, it may appear that purchasing real estate and investment property in particular is a luxury reserved for the already wealthy. I take great joy in helping people find their own, sometimes unorthodox, way to a brighter financial future through real estate investment.
Don’t be afraid to talk about money, and be honest when you do so.
In order to provide the best advice, not to mention connect you with the proper resources and loan products, it is important to have a full understanding of your financial situation - both good and bad. See the above note for reassurance.
Be flexible, especially in terms of timelines.
While certain market factors are beyond our control, there is typically an ebb and flow to every real estate market, a high and low season as it were. Allow you and your agent the time and space to take advantage of any opportunities (both predictable and unforeseen) that may arise.
Ask every question.
Real estate is complicated, and you are in no way expected to know all of the ins and outs. I encourage you to ask questions or for clarification whenever you feel even an ounce of uncertainty at any step in the process.
Choose a local lender.
Ideally one who is invested in the community. You are likely to get better customer service and even more favorable rates from someone you see around town on a regular basis. I am more than happy to provide referrals.
