|  | | | Donald, Laurie and Charlie | |
I was born and raised in Richmond, VA and have only left the area to attend college. I attended Radford University, earning a degree in Business Management. After graduation I started selling real estate. That was 19 years ago and I am still going strong. I love meeting people and showing them ?my hometown.? My wife, Laurie, shares my enthusiasm and love of the Richmond area. We have a son, Charlie. We live in the West End of Richmond in the Wyndham subdivision. We enjoy going to the Rappahannock River on weekends, church, walking and movies. I love fishing, golfing, weightlifting and running. Real estate is the most challenging thing I have ever done. I love helping people reach their personal goals whether buying, selling or relocating. I strive to give each client professional and courteous service.

Selling Your Home >The Best Real Estate Agents
The best real estate agents in today's marketplace are becoming even better about marketing the homes they list to the public, as well as to other agents who have potential buyers.
When you are interviewing prospective real estate agents to help you sell your home, ask how they find buyers. In the past, a "For Sale" sign would go into the ground, the basic information went into the Multiple Listing Service, and then there was an occasional Sunday classified ad and an "open house". If the house did not sell right away, the agent might recommend a price reduction.
Agents today are much more sophisticated and pro-active about getting people into their homes. They rely on computers, direct mail, telemarketing, and just plain clever ideas that no one else has tried. Ask prospective listing agents for two things--a written analysis of what is happening with housing prices in your area and a marketing plan which outlines how they would get your home from "For Sale" to "Sold".
