- Keep you up to date with the latest listings meeting your criteria

In return I ask:
I will work diligently for you. My time and expenses are only compensated if I make a sale, so I ask my clients to:
- Sign a buyer´s agreement with me and work exclusively with me. Your time is important as is mine. I only work with a few serious, qualified buyers at one time in order to offer exceptional service.
- Communication works two ways — call me with concerns, frustrations, problems, etc!
- If you are pleased with me, refer me to anyone you come in contact with who is interested in buying or selling property.
If at any time during our contractual relationship you are not happy with my services, and I cannot correct the problem, I will happily refer you to another agent or release you from your contract. GUARANTEED.
