Executive Summary

RENT Here’s something that never changes -
when you rent, you are building someone else’s wealth.
VS
Your landlord knows the power of investments
OWN and every day that you rent,

you have missed an investment opportunity.

Stay on the equity train!

If you spend $40,000 per year in rent,
it grows your landlord’s bank account.
However, if you put that budget toward winning the offer,
that money becomesYOUR financial investment

and grows in value.
You live in the monthly payment, not in the price.

SENIORS When you or a loved one is transitioning to a new lifestyle,
IN the options may seem overwhelming.

TRANSITION I’m here to help with a strategy and team of experts.

family members and care givers, with unbiased opinions

BUYING A FOR SALE BY OWNER

You are NOT represented or protected if you buy from a seller without an agent.
In the absence of a Buyer Agent, the seller does not share any savings with you.

Texas is a non-disclosure state, meaning the insider information
needed to negotiate the best price cannot be found online.
Online values are based on assessed tax values,
and not the recently sold prices on comparable properties.

Guided by a Code of Ethics, I have a fiduciary duty to my clients.
I will guide you and protect your interests throughout the process.

I work for YOU not the seller.

BUYING FROM A BUILDER

You are NOT represented when you buy from a builder without an agent.
The builder’s rep works for the builder and negotiates on the builder’s behalf.

I will represent and work forYOU. I will be with you during the entire process,
starting with identifying the community, location and lifestyle.

After you’ve chosen a builder I will help with the lot selection, structural options, initial contract, design center,
construction manager, inspections, mortgage negotiations and the walk through & punch list.

As your Buyer Agent I negotiate on YOUR behalf and represent YOU throughout the entire process.

OUT-OF-TOWN
AGENT REFERRAL

Do you know anyone relocating or
have another home to sell?

Keller Williams is the
largest brokerage in the world.

Ask me to refer an agent
in another city, state or country.

We have agents across the globe!

I’ll find a good match
and save you the work.
