As a full-time Realtor, I am pleased to provide my clients
with professional representation as a Buyer’s Agent.

• The state of Pennsylvania provides for written Buyer Agency, whereby I can represent you and your interests as a Buyer’s Agent. To do this, the state requires that we enter into a written Relationship Agreement. I will provide you with a copy of this Agreement as well as the Consumer Notice advising you of these rights at our first meeting.
• I am a full-time licensed professional – I do not work as part of a team and as such you can be assured that you will always benefit from my personal expertise through each and every stage of your transaction.
• I am an Associate Real Estate Broker and have also been certified as a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), Residential Relocation Specialist and Christie’s Great Estates Specialist.
