"I am a listing specialist, representing Sellers for more 30 years." -- Ray Akers
For Sellers
Selling a home is an increasingly complex transaction. Gone are the days of the simple contract. Today's real estate transactions require a professional who is a master of the 'Art of the Deal'. To win in real estate, you need an expert that can see opportunities and solutions, and steer negotiations toward the outcome you desire. That makes your choice of a Realtor more important than ever.
Data shows the number one quality consumers want is experience. I have more than 30 years of delivering on my promise of putting the client first. I tailor my services to your unique circumstances. I'll treat you like you are my only client.
When it comes to marketing your home, targeted exposure is the key. My listings are prioritized on every single Internet search and viewed thousands more times than ordinary listings. I utilize listing syndication services which distribute your listing to dozens of other websites. I've secured premium placement on the top real estate Internet sites. More exposure for your listing means more potential buyers for your home. I've front-loaded my marketing dollars to give you the advantage over ordinary listings. That's part of my top-tier service.
When a buyer presents an offer to purchase your home, that's the point at which an experienced Realtor makes all the difference. I never forget that it's your equity. My goal is to obtain the maximum sale price for your home.
"Ray was wonderful! He was always on top of things, kept us well-informed and negotiated an outstanding
price for our home. I had so much confidence in Ray, my anxiety was minimal. I really appreciated Ray's
honesty, enthusiasm, intelligence, and humor. I will always consider Ray my agent." --Bethany W.

For Buyers
Today, buying a home is more challenging than ever. There is more information to process and the transactions are increasingly complicated. That's where an experienced Realtor makes the difference between success and failure.
Finding the perfect home is a daunting task without the help of an experienced professional. You can rely upon my knowledge of neighborhoods, inventory of available homes, and the dynamics of the real estate market, which changes from week to week. I will advise you about strategies for buying in the current market, and how to position yourself as a stand-out among other buyers. I'll guide you to the best mortgage professionals and help you to get pre-approved for a loan.
When you've found the perfect home, that's when the real work begins. The typical real estate transaction involves a dozen different parties, including mortgage lenders, inspectors, title rep's, escrow staff, and more. I'll work closely with you, negotiating the terms and conditions that meet your needs. I'll help you navigate the buying process, guiding you around obstacles and helping you avoid the common mistakes that can prevent your sale from closing. I will be your best advocate when you're ready to purchase a home.
"We were very much happier and more comfortable with Ray than we were when we bought our home
with a different agent. He is very experienced and easy to work with. We felt that Ray had our needs &
interests in mind." --Jennifer T.
