For buyers, he utilizes his experience and knowledge of construction to guide his clients away from homes with costly issues and toward well-maintained properties. His experience and thoroughness build buyer confidence throughout the negotiation of price, terms, and repairs, as well as through the loan process and the closing of the sale.
