"Fantastic all around experience. Highly professional, responsive, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. Richard and Kristin patiently worked with us for two years to find our dream home and when we did they helped us list and get multiple offers on our home within a week! They stayed on top of the whole process throughout and kept everything moving along swiftly They both where always available, always polite and helped guide us along Often going above and beyond They are backed by an incredible team that produced a high quality listing, with beautiful photos and video. Our family will be using them again soon, and I cannot recommend highly enough!"

Seller's Market
Pricing your home right means taking a variety of things into consideration. Here are somethings we factor into determining a sale price for your home.
Take the time to study past sales for homes in your area and areas similar to yours. Having a clear understanding of true market value is the first step in establishing your list price.
A buyer’s market occurs when supply exceeds demand. Typically, sellers will drop their asking prices to gain an advantage in the market.
ACTIVE LISTINGS
We put ourselves in the buyer's shoes and ask what they would find most valuable in homes like yours. Updated kitchens? Renovated rooms? These all factor into the final price.
Pricing your home largely depends on what type of market we will be listing in If it's a buyer's market you'll be pricing lower, if it's a seller's market you'll be pricing higher.
PAST SALES
Supply and demand are about the same. Sellers usually accept reasonable offers, while homes generally sit on the market for an average or typical length of time
THE MARKET
Understanding MarketConditions
We study active listings to see what homes we will be competing with. Buyers tend to compare your home to these homes.
CONDITION
A seller’s market arises when demand exceeds supply. Since there are fewer homes available, sellers are at advantage.an

Conditions are Met
Unless a purchase agreement is free of any conditions when an offer is accepted conditions make a sale “conditional.” This simply means that the deal cannot be completed until all conditions that are part of the offer have either been fulfilled or waived by their respective expiry dates.
Elements of the offer
Deposit Provided
Once an offer is received we'll review it together and decide if we want to accept, counter or refuse.
Negotiating an Offer
If you’re a first time home seller, the offer process may seem overwhelming. Knowing what to expect can save you a lot of headaches and surprises in the long run.
T H E O F F E R
Inclusions and Exclusions Closing or Possession Date 1 2 3. 4. 5. 6.
Buyers will offer a deposit as a promise to the seller that they are financially capable and ready to commit to buying the home. This will be held in escrow with your attorney once the contract is fully executed.
Buyers will typically have an opportunity to do a final walk through of the home before the closing date to make sure that it’s in the same condition as it was before the offer was made.

Rich and Kristin were an incredible help in selling our house
They gave us great advice on where we needed to update or invest before listing and helped us get to market incredibly fast. We went from deciding to sell to an open house in less than a month! And they had over 50 people at the open house! We received multiple offers and were under contract a few weeks later Through it all, Rich and Kristin were trusted advisers for my wife and I. We 100% recommend them.
Rich is very punctual and informative. Such an honest and kind person, he was always available and quick to answer my calls and text regarding the properties I was interested. Definitely the guy to go to.
Great experience working with Justin Professional, polite and knowledgeable I recommend him for families who are looking for big changes. He provide a excellent options and choice for my family needs. It was a life changing experience. Gratitude!

Kristin was great! We came into the home buying process with, honestly, not enough preparation or planning We requested to tour a house on a whim and Zillow connected us with Kristin. We didn't get that house, but a week later she showed us a second house and now it's our perfect little home She was open and honest throughout the process without being too pushy She really perfectly fit our needs and vibe and was super communicative. Can't recommend her enough.
Kristin did an amazing job as our agent, assisting us every step of the way in our home purchase She's full of knowledge, and her attention to details, even the little things you would not think of, really make her an exceptional agent. From our very first meeting with her, she has always put our interests first, patiently handling our questions, and getting us answers Her service is exemplary, and we would recommend her without reservation THANK YOU Kristin
Richard is a great communicator who understands the needs of a Millennial home buyer. He is very responsive, proactive in following up, and is always professional!
Rich was fantastic! We switched over to working with Richard after an unsatisfactory experience with another broker With the other broker we felt pressured into decisions and it felt like he wasn't really listening to our concerns. There was absolutely none of that with Richard. He made us feel comfortable and would take the time to really listen and hear what our family was looking for in a new home He even took us to see different styles of houses just so we were absolutely certain of what we wanted without any doubts If you're in the market for a new house or broker I would definitely recommend working with Richard You'll find your dream home before you know it.
