I enjoy working with individuals and families to help them achieve their goals; whether it is buying that first home, moving up or downsizing, moving into the area or transferring out. My job is not to sell you the most expensive house you can afford, but rather to find the house that fits your desired budget. It is an exciting process and I try very hard to make it as stress-free for you as possible. By handling my profession in this manner, I have been successful in achieving my goals and find that 78% of my clients are past clients, referred to me by people who know me, and/or have used my services in the past. In 1997, I was named "Rookie of the Year" for the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Board of Realtors and each year has been consistently better than the past with 2001 finding me the top sales associate in my firm. My designations include: 1997 Waterloo/Cedar Falls Board of Realtors Rookie of the Year Senior Realtor Associate GRI Graduate Realtors Institute CRS Certified Residential Specialist e-PRO RECS

Most home purchase agreements have clauses that deal with termites. After the agreement is ratified, a termite inspection is arranged. Before the closing can occur, the sellers must be able to produce papers signed by a licensed exterminator stating that the house is free of infestation and that any termite damage has been repaired.
Before you sign an agreement to buy or sell a home, you should read the termite clause and be sure that you understand it. Who selects the exterminator and pays for the inspection? If bugs are found, who pays for the treatment? Are the sellers obligated to repair any damage and have they placed a limit of the dollar amount they will spend on those repairs? If treatment is required, the buyers may want a chance to discuss the options with the pest control company, especially if someone in the family is sensitive to the chemicals used to control the termites. Ask about the exterminator's guarantees or service contract options.
