Thank you again for finding us this Great House! Tom and Beatrix Tyna (Bay Village)

In this market, it would be easy to throw up your hands and say it's close to impossible, just sit back and hope for the best, but not you. The marketing materials were great and the effort you put in helped to sell the house in an impressive amount of time. Thank you for your input to get the house looking its best and for helping with all areas of the sale. I can rest easy with planning my wedding knowing I have that checked off my list. When Chris and I head back to Cleveland, I will be the first one to look you up and use your services to find our new home. Yours Truly, Kate Plenzler (Avon Lake)

Your ambitious approach is very refreshing. Linda Wagenknecht (Lakewood)

Tony is the Professional in Realty Professionals. Lee Zapis (Bay Village)

Professional in every detail. Sensitive to our personal situation. Business ethics and moral values are to be admired, Does everything in his power to make what could be a highly stressful time in your life, a pleasurable experience. Donald and Betty Maxam (Huron)

A pleasure working with you. We think of you as a new friend. You are truly a professional. Zita and Ken Boitel (Westlake)

Your consistent communication, attention to detail and advice made the entire process a smooth one and one that I learned a great deal from. James Elios (Avon Lake)

I knew throughout the whole process that everything would turn out well because you were very honest and up front with me. You went above and beyond what any other Realtor would do. Robert W. Rosol (Fairview Park)

We couldn't be happier in our new home - could not have done it without you! Dennis and Michelle Pinozzi (Lakewood)

You were knowledgeable and taught me how to look at electrical, plumbing and structural things I never would have noticed. You also listened to what I wanted and helped me to narrow my search. I was treated with respect, something a single female does not encounter very often in the Real Estate market. Theresa A. Clarke (Lakewood)

Thanks again for all your help. I've told a lot of agents in my office what a super agent you are - a real professional. Judy Nupp - Howard Hanna (Rocky River)

How To Avoid Home Buying Mistakes

1. Not doing your homework. Enter the market well-prepared by researching location, school district, deed restrictions and taxes.

2. Trying to make a shrewd investment. Focus on finding the best place for you and your family to live rather than trying to predict the real estate market.

3. Choosing a poor location. Consider what part of town you would like to live in and avoid homes located on busy streets.

4. Overlooking an inferior floor plan for an attractive exterior. Choose a great floor plan over a great exterior because you'll spend far more time inside the house than outside.

5. Overlooking how the home will function for your family. Consider features that are most important to your family and choose a home that will meet those needs.

6. Not having the home properly inspected when buying a resale. Hire a state-licensed, professional inspector to evaluate the home's true condition, which could save you thousands of dollars in repairs and maintenance.

7. Not having the home properly inspected when buying a new home. Research the number of homes sold, homeowner satisfaction, years in business, industry recognition and warranties offered.

8. Not getting what you want because you're impatient. If it's a used home, allow time to negotiate and get the best deal possible. Refusing to rush the process could save you $5,000 on the purchase price.

9. Waiting for a better time to buy based on the market and interest rates. History shows that those who purchased homes and kept them for three to five years or more did better than those who didn't. Waiting is one of the biggest mistakes a home buyer can make.

10. The biggest home buying mistake is not buying at all. Buying a home will give you a place to call your own and allow you to take advantage of tax breaks and build equity.

Avoiding common mistakes can make the home buying process simpler and less stressful.

SELLER TIP: Use higher watt bulbs in lights to make rooms appear brighter and larger especially during winter months.

BUYERS TIPS: Familiarize yourself with mortgage loans. Contact a reputable lender - calculate the limits of your buying power.

SELLERS TIP: It Matters to Make Minor Repairs. Fix sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking or a dripping faucet. Buyers will ask why you did not or what else could be wrong.

BUYER TIP: Work with your REALTOR about getting Pre-Approved for your home loan. A Pre-Approved Buyer is the one sellers pick when there are multiple bids, you win.

SELLERS TIP: Rid your home of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes and eliminate cooking, smoke and pet odors. Make sure buyers take home a fresh impression of your Home.

BUYER TIP: Know all the choices when picking a home. Ask Tony A to build you an Automated Buyer Site today. See ALL of the Newest Listings and Price Changes.

SELLERS TIP: De-clutter and/or stage your home. Go into each room and pick one piece of furniture that could possibly be removed. Confused buyers will psychologically always say NO.

BUYERS TIP: Avoid making pre-mature large purchases. Increased debt VASTLY reduces your buying power.

SELLERS TIP: Keep your home extra clean and neat. You never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression!
