If you are about to list a home that you have lived there for many years, you know that it is not perfect. For example, there might be a leak in the basement that is noticeable only after a heavy rain. Your garage door might stick, and the dishwasher may be prone to work stoppages.

Every home has a few quirks. When it is time to sell your home, you have a choice of either making the necessary repairs or letting the buyers know about the problems. Material defects must be fully disclosed. Some buyers will order a structural inspection in order to learn exactly what they will be getting. Even if the buyers don't ask for an expert to look at the house, it is the seller's responsibility to disclose any known defects in the property. The seller's agent will provide the disclosure form, wherein the seller may itemize any problems. Sellers may avoid any real estate lawsuits over undisclosed defects by making repairs before the sale or agreeing to a price adjustment during the transaction if defects are discovered.

I am passionate about preserving open spaces for pasture, habitat, or quiet enjoyment, and I bring that same level of commitment and energy to my work on behalf of buyers and sellers of country properties in the Central Massachusetts corridor, from Harvard to Princeton. I love what I do, I work hard at it, and it shows: my sales achievements perennially rank me among the top agents nationwide. I treat my buyer and seller clients the way that I would want to be treated: with respect, courtesy, attention to detail, and caring. My relationship with my clients is based on mutual trust, and I never stop knocking myself out to justify their vote of confidence in me. I will do the same for you. Just try me.
