Ask these five crucial questions before hiring any Realtor   

1. Tell me about your experience as a buyers’ agent specializing in Bethesda and Potomac.

Potomac and Bethesda are much more than where I work. Both communities have been my home for 30+ years. I raised my children, not-to-mention my beloved dog, Tucker, here. I’ve remained friends with many of my past buyers who are like a personal network of neighborhood news, and homebuying opportunities. I can practically tell you the market value of the homes in most neighborhoods before even studying the comparables. And being a “certified” buyers’ agent has benefitted my clients, assuring them of knowledgeable, well-informed representation  

2. Can you really find me homes not listed online?

Compass has truly changed the marketplace. We have our own platform that lets my buyers create custom “Collections”, so you receive listings tailored to your specific needs directly in your inbox. We also have “Private Exclusives” – homes you can see before they hit the public market – giving you early access to opportunities most buyers miss.

3. How do you negotiate the best deal for your buyers?

Experience is key. With a buyers’ agent background spanning 30+ years exclusively in this area, I know the true value of our Potomac and Bethesda neighborhoods. I know what it takes to work effectively with other agents and how to position my buyers for success. Partnering with the industry- leading resources of Compass and the Galanti Group’s integrated team support gives me powerful tools other agents just can’t match.  

4. What’s your strategy when there are multiple offers on a home?

Multiple offers require market knowledge, speed, and relationships. I’ll guide you in drafting an offer that is competitive, not just in price, but in terms and conditions. Sometimes the terms are as important as the price (fg: contingent vs non-contingent contracts; financing vs. an all-cash offer, etc). My personal relationships with top listing agents forged over years of presenting to each other allows me to provide valuable insights that help me stand out. And with the advantages and support of the Compass platform, I can move quickly and strategically to put you in the best possible position.  

5. Why would you be the perfect buyer agent for me? 

I handle all the details so you can focus on the big picture. I’ll explain every step in plain language, keep you ahead of deadlines, and negotiate solutions if any issues arise. Our team follows a step-by-step procedure, and provides our own Galanti Group Buyer Guide, which walks you through the process from our initial meeting to your closing date. You’ll also be on the Compass platform (see Collections), which allows you to have constant contact with myself and our dedicated closing coordinator. Simply, my goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
