If you are like most people, your home is or will be your most valuable asset.  When buying or selling a home many people receive less guidance than they would when buying a car, a diamond ring, stock, or making a business investment.  As a result they often find that their home does not appreciate as much as the one down the street.  A few changes can make the difference in $1000’s of dollars profit and in a cautious market like we are in today it can also mean the difference between your home selling or someone else’s. 

There are several roles that your Agent must assume in order to professionally represent your interest whether you are buying or selling.  My unique understanding of these roles and responsibilities is the reason I have been successful in both up and down markets for over 10 years while many other agents have came and went with bumps in the market:

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

     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.
