What advice do you have for buyers and sellers in the current market? 

Finding a trusted source for your real estate news is going to be critical for the next 12 to 24 months. As we continue to see shifts in the market, we will also see scary media marketing headlines that generate fear and can lead to analysis paralysis. As real estate advisors, we provide insightful, honest information to ease clients’ concerns and formulate a game plan for their real estate goals while acknowledging the ever-changing market. Whether it’s a simple conversation about the current market, interest rates, inventory, or buying and selling a home, we are here for you to lean on through the good, the bad, and the not-so-pretty ebbs and flows of the real estate market.

How do you help your clients beat the competition?

Experience, market knowledge, agent relationships, strong negotiation skills, creativity and a competitive drive to succeed. At a minimum, these attributes open the doors that ultimately allow our clients to have the opportunity to not only compete but prevail in a competitive situation or otherwise.

Does staging actually help?

We wholeheartedly believe that presentation is a key component for selling your home in the shortest amount of time and for the most money. Over the last five years, that belief has morphed into a 900-square-foot storage unit that allows us to provide unique staging services for our clients. We can elevate a client’s existing furnishings with our design eye and inventory of accessories, artwork, pillows, plants and more. This has been wildly successful; the transformation surprises our clients to the point they don’t want to move!

What is your team known for?

Hands-down our clients and peers know us for our passion to achieve a successful transaction, our expansive knowledge and experience executing contracts and negotiations, and our absolute attention to detail. Kathleen has built a reputation over the last 40 years of looking after clients and agents alike. Her impeccable due diligence and fiduciary duty to all parties involved show her dedication to the business and positive transactional outcomes. As for Sloane, let’s just say the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
