Spend some time to determine your needs and goals.  When do you want to sell/buy?  Where do you want to locate/relocate? 

Financing: Do you have an adequate down payment?  Are you pre-approved for a loan?  Who should you go to for pre-approval?  Does it matter?  Want to know a close estimate of what your monthly payments will be? 

Internet Resources: To locate properties and narrow your search.  To find out what comparable properties have sold for in the last 2 months; to communicate with you via email, text and phone.  What is your favorite way to be contacted?  Will your home receive wide exposure on all the best web sites buyers and sellers visit?  Yes, we know about Virtual tours and use them.  

Feedback:  You can see what other buyers/sellers have said about the service we provide by going to the independent company who gathers this information from our past clients.  Do you want an agent who has and can quickly provide answers to your questions?   See what others have said.

Technical knowledge: Do we understand the real estate contracts and what protections they provide?  Want to know your money is protected by the listing/purchase agreement?  Let us explain it. Time limits for removing contingencies for inspections and loans must be followed to avoid loss of the right to purchase or back out of the contract.

Work experience:  Understanding contracts and applying the risks associated with a specific property are duties underwriters perform.  This is most helpful now in evaluating property. 

My family is thankful everyday that Ilene and Charlie are representing us!  We wanted to purchase a home in a specific location and block and had been waiting for 2 years to find it. When we did find it, there were 11 offers submitted to purchase the property.  Ilene did the research and negotiated the right purchase amount so as to be on top yet not pay too much.  Many months later we are still delighted we were able to get this house.  Thank you Ilene and Charlie!

"My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Ilene when she assisted us in selecting our first home.  Given that it was a new experience for us, Ilene was very patient, personable and expressed a sincere interest in helping us find what would become a house that we are very happy with.  We value the knowledge Ilene shared with us and we learned so much from her.  During our search, Ilene was very attentive and we appreciated how she made our first experience very rewarding and allot easier than we thought it would be.  I would enthusiastically recommend Ilene for any real estate transaction and at some point in the future look forward to working with her again."

"We are first-time home owners who couldn't thank Ilene enough for her help in closing the deal on our top choice property.  Throughout the process she was very supportive, available whenever we had problems or questions, and helped coach us through a very difficult transaction.  We highly recommend Ilene to new and seasoned home buyers alike."                             

" I was impressed with her conscientiousness, diligence and knowledge. In particular, because of her prior experience, she knew how to  evaluate the quality of a house in  terms of construction, electrical and so on. She made many helpful suggestions re-garding how to remodel or solve existing problems with the house we purchased. It was a pleasure to work with her. With more experience she will only get better and better."
