How do I participate in an off-market transaction?
You really need to connect with a seasoned agent who is top-ranked in the area that you want to buy. It is also important that the agent’s office is a leading player in the area. Last year, I sold more than $7,000,000 in off-market deals.

Should I take down window treatments prior to showings?
More often than not, the answer is yes. Windows sans treatments allow for more natural light to come in and create a blank canvas for buyers to imagine their decorating.

Is the market going to crash like 2008?
