I want you to understand that I have been successful because I understand my job a little differently than many Agents.  For one I'm not a "Sales Person" per se, after all when was the last time you spent this much money because someone made a hard nosed sales pitch, or even worse used the 'warm fuzzy' approach?  Sales gimmicks and pressure tactics just don't work, especially when purchasing a home.

There are many roles that I must assume in order to professionally represent your interest whether you are buying or selling:

• Real Estate Consultant
• Trusted adviser
• Property Specialist
• Experienced Negotiator
• Community Consultant
• Transaction Coordinator
• Marketing Manager

As with any large transaction it's important to have someone on your side that understands the in's and out's of the business and can guide you seamlessly through the process.

The Kanawha Valley Market has continued to remain relatively stable in the wake of the national housing crisis.  While I admit the market is not as strong as it has been in past years and it is definely a buyers market, you can see from the following statics that if your property is managed and marketed properly you can still realize an appreciable sale.

• Current Kanawha Valley Home Appreciation Rate is 6%.
• The current average home price is 40% below the national average.
• The median home price has increased 14% in the past 3 years.
• Approximately 2,000 new single family homes have been added to the
area in the past 5 years.
