  Hello, Thanks for taking the time to find out not just about the area and the real estate market, but also to learn a little bit more about me. I am a third generation Warren County native, currently residing in the scenic Fort Valley area. Growing up I spent a considerable amount of time on my grandparents 400-acre farm in Linden. At age 9, I started helping out at the family fruit stand selling apples. Throughout high school I worked after school and during summers at a bank in Front Royal, doing everything from filing, data entry, answering phones and working with appraisers. Then in 1990, after assisting the sales manager and processing manager at Mount Vernon Realty, I decided to get my real estate license. Shortly after I became a realtor with Mount Vernon Realty, the company was sold and became Weichert, Realtors---I have been affiliated with them since that acquisition. During my free time, I enjoy hiking on Skyline Drive, digging through antique shops and auctions, catching a good movie, and, when time permits, traveling to Oriental, the sailing capital of North Carolina.

Accepting An Offer >Negotiating Factors
Negotiations for the sale of a home can be affected by emotional factors. For example, it is easy to be offended by someone who is making an offer on your property. Even if the buyers love your house, they are trying to negotiate the best possible price and terms. They probably will not let you know how much they want your home until they have negotiated a purchase agreement.
Buyers almost never write offers that please the sellers entirely. Offers and counter offers may be traded back and forth over days or weeks. Terms of the sale will be discussed and deadlines will be set. When there is finally a meeting of the minds, both sides may feel relieved but exhausted by the process. One of a real estate agent's most important jobs is to act as the intermediary during such negotiations. With your agents knowledge of financing, negotiation procedures, and the tax laws affecting real estate sales, agents come up with creative solutions to the challenges that may arise.
