Dear real estate partner,

The most important aspect of real estate is for everyone to be completely satisfied with the results.  It is my job to ensure that the process moves smoothly for both the buyer and seller. 

I believe in building strong, long-term partnerships with my clients.  We will begin this process by arranging a convenient time to get together to discuss your goals and objectives. You may wish to consult a financial advisor prior to beginning our road to a successful real estate transaction.

Just like any interview, you may ask me questions regarding my twenty-year career in sales and marketing too.

As a buyer, we will discuss your mortgage needs and why it is important to be pre-approved when submitting an offer.  This will determine your "buying power" and will illustrate to the seller you are the most qualified to move forward. 

As a seller, it is key to present your property in the most favorable light.  This may mean editing your furnishings, painting or enhancing landscaping, for example.  Pricing your home based on current market conditions will generate interest and may even bring in multiple offers.

There are many more elements to the real estate process, so give me a call today to discuss your unique situation.  You may reach me most days of the week at 707/337-3415.

PS    Testimonial from Steve Cavalli, Esq., 531 Chase Street Sonoma

"One of my elderly parents was having health problems and a decision was made to sell their home in Sonoma.  I interviewed several realtors and decided to retain Helaine Forte.  In a very difficult market and under very difficult circumstances, Helaine worked diligently and professionally to obtain an excellent result.  Her persistence and attention to detail was very impressive.  She often went above and beyond what I would have expected from a realtor and I cannot recommend her highly enough".
