Jerome has over 17 years of experience guiding buyers to success in Victoria & Vancouver Island real estate
Buying a home is a big deal. Your confidence is critical to buying the right home and having a positive experience. So my job is to be your trusted advisor. I have helped many buy and sell homes, but I have also often advised clients not to buy particular homes when I think that advice is warranted. When I feel a home is or isn't right, for whatever reason, I will tell you.
AS YOUR AGENT AND ADVISOR, I prioritize listening to your needs and helping you to see what you're looking at when evaluating a home, an area, and the market. How is the market? Is the home priced right? What should I offer? Is it a good area with good schools? What about the street and traffic? What is the home's condition, what does it need, what will it cost? How is the flow, the light, the feel? Is it the right home for me or should we keep looking? I answer these questions without fluff.
AS YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT, I work toward your goals and protects your interests. From orientation to house hunting, negotiation, and handing you the keys, I am by your side.
My goal is to be the only real estate agent you would ever consider calling!
