- A real estate transaction is complicated.
In most cases, buying or selling a home requires disclosure
forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents, insurance
policies, deeds, and multi-page government-mandated settlement
statements. A knowledgeable guide through this complexity can
help you avoid delays or costly mistakes.
- Selling or buying a home is
time consuming. Currently homes in the Deerfield Valley - Mount Snow
Area are on the market for an average of 248 days*. And it usually takes another
6 weeks or so for the transaction to close after an offer is
accepted.
- Real estate has its own language. If you
don’t know a CMA from a PUD, you can understand why it’s
important to work with someone who speaks that language.

have done it before. Most people buy and sell only a few
homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between
each purchase. And even if you’ve done it before, laws and
regulations change. That’s why having an expert on your side is
critical.

provide objectivity. Since a home often symbolizes family, rest,
and security, not just four walls and roof, home selling or
buying is often a very emotional undertaking. And for most
people, a home is the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having
a concerned, but objective, third party helps you keep focused
on both the business and emotional issues most important to you.
