When it's time to sell your home, one of the biggest questions might be “where do buyers come from?” According to recent surveys, about 90% have been hunting for properties on the Internet long before they start searching for a home.
·80% Find an agent on the Internet
·10% 'From For Sale' signs
·7% Referred by a relocation service, friend or out-of-area Realtor
·2% advertising in magazines and newspapers
·1% Open houses
The bottom line is that most home purchases are made with the assistance of a real estate professional and the tools they provide.
The marketing of your home is serious business and there can be many pitfalls, some of them expensive. Your real estate professional is trained in the skills necessary to take the whole process from start to finish. You will gain valuable assistance in everything from pricing to creating the look buyers want right on through making the right financial transactions.
What many are not aware of is that many sales fall apart because their Realtor is not experienced in “holding the sale together” when problems arrive. A good Realtor is a “problem solver” and they are good at “thinking outside the box!” They are excellent negotiators and they are skilled at exposing the property to a vast audience. In the Palm Springs Desert Area I work in, exposure to the International market is also important because we are a resort and vacation area many seek during the cold winter days while we bask in the warmth of sun more than 350 days a year. RE/Max has offices in most countries all over the world with over 100,000 agents. Their marketing reaches a large global market often looking for golf, good weather and lots of great shopping.
Any way you look at it, your real estate professional is the best source for a qualified buyer. I have over 23 years of experience in selling and marketing homes, and I also have education above and beyond what is required of an agent.

Old Fashioned Service Using New Fashioned Technology
I moved to beautiful Palm Springs, California to the desert, known as the Coachella Valley, from Milwaukee, WI in 1992. I wanted to be surrounded by sunshine, wonderful year-round weather and expansive mountain views. And that's exactly what I got! Now I specialize in helping others relocate and find their own special Home in Palm Springs, a true Paradise.
Most folks think of this area as Palm Springs, however, the Valley actually consists of (9) cities, each with their own personality: Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio, Desert Hot Springs and Coachella.
I've been in Real Estate Sales, Marketing, Public Relations and Administrative work my entire career, which began in 1965. Being a Realtor is more than a business for me, it's a true passion and my client's interests are my main concern. I'm detail oriented, organized and I have a vast knowledge of the desert and the properties within the Valley. Unlike many Realtors who only specialize in one or two areas in Coachella Valley, I've SOLD Real Estate Properties in all of the communities of Coachella Valley.
I am more than just a Realtor. I have also been named one of less than 50,000 Realtors nationwide who is a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and one of less than 15,000 Realtors nationwide who is a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES). I am also a Real Estate Broker and e-Pro Certified, which means that I have an excellent understanding of technology as it applies to real estate on the Internet.
Due to my extraordinary production with RE/MAX over the years, I have achieved many top honors. I am a member of the Prestigious 100% Club, the Platinum Club and a Hall of Fame Member. Only 10% of the Realtors with RE/MAX in the California/Hawaii Region have earned this Platinum Club recognition.
Many of my clients are now friends, and they have referred both their family and friends to me. They know I'll take very good care of them from the beginning of our relationship, to after it's closed, and beyond that! I don't go away. I'm always available and eager to help in any way I can - before, during and after the sale! And to all those who continue to Refer Clients to me, a great deal of my work is from folks just like you, and it's greatly appreciated.
