I HAVE BEEN PROUDLY SERVING THE SUMMIT CO AND PORTAGE CO AREAS FOR OVER 36 YEARS.  i KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO MAKE A DECISION TO BUY OR SELL A HOME.  THE FIRST STEP IS TO ESTABLISH THE BEST PRICE FOR YOUR HOME WITH A REALISTIC DETERMINATION OF VALUE.  THIS IS WHERE I CAN HELP.  I HAVE DETERMINED THE VALUE OF HUNDREDS OF HOMES OVER THE YEARS, AND I WOULD LOVE TO ASSIST YOU IN DETERMINING THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME, HELP YOU FIND THE HOME OF YOUR DREAMS. KNOWING THE AREA AND THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY MAKE IT EASY FOR ME TO MAKE ALL THE CONNECTIONS FOR THE CUSTOMERS AND CLIENTS I WORK WITH. I HAVE DOWN THIS ROAD MANY TIMES AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU A CLIENT AND TEACH YOU ALL I KNOW ABOUT THE REAL ESTATE BUYING AND SELLING EXPERIENCE.
