Why Buy With Me

The agent who knows
both sides of the border.

Most buyers agents know one market. I operate in 20+ across SE Massachusetts and Rhode Island. That means I know when a property is overpriced in Fall River, underpriced in Dartmouth, or about to go off-market in Bristol before it hits Zillow.

When you're competing for a property, that's the difference between winning and watching someone else close it.

🗺️
20+ Markets

Bristol County MA, Plymouth County MA, Providence & Bristol County RI. Both sides of the state line, actively worked — not just on a license.

🔍
Off-Market Access

Through our team network and Zillow Preferred program, I source properties before they hit public search. You see opportunities other buyers never get.

🤝
Trusted Partners

NorthPointe Bank for financing, Balkun Title for closing. Partners who close on time, every time — because a deal that falls apart at the finish line isn't a deal.

💬
Same-Day Response

In a fast market, waiting 24 hours to hear back from your agent costs you properties. I respond same day — text, call, email. Always.

Zillow Preferred

As a Zillow Preferred agent, I have early visibility into new listings and buyer demand data other agents don't see. That's a real edge in a competitive market.

🏆
Negotiation That Wins

I've negotiated in every market condition. I know when to push, when to hold, and how to structure an offer that wins without leaving you overexposed.

The Buying Process

How I work with buyers.

From first conversation to keys in hand — a clear, no-surprise process so you always know where you stand and what's next.

Step 01
Buyer Consultation

We start with a 30-minute conversation — in person, by phone, or video. I learn what you're looking for, what markets you're considering, your timeline, and your financing situation. This isn't a pitch. It's a strategy session.

Step 02
Financing & Pre-Approval

If you're not already pre-approved, I connect you with Michael Quin at NorthPointe Bank or Paul Salcone at Rate. Getting pre-approved before you search means you can move the moment you find the right property — not 72 hours later.

Step 03
Active Search & Access

I set up a custom search in Follow Up Boss so you see properties the moment they hit the market. I also pull off-market and pre-market opportunities through the team network and Zillow Preferred program.

Step 04
Showings & Analysis

I walk every property with you. I tell you what I see — the good, the potential problems, and what it's actually worth in today's market. I don't tell you what you want to hear. I tell you what you need to know.

Step 05
Offer & Negotiation

When you're ready to move, I build an offer strategy — price, terms, contingencies, escalation clauses when needed. The goal is to win the property at the right price, not just win it. I've been on both sides of these negotiations.

Step 06
Inspections to Closing

Once under contract, Tracy Pavao, our closing coordinator, manages the timeline. Inspections, repairs, title work, final walkthrough — every step is tracked and communicated. You're never left wondering what's happening or when.

Preferred Partners

The team behind every closing.

I don't refer people I haven't worked with. These are the lenders and attorneys who have earned a spot on my list by closing deals cleanly, on time, and without drama.

Preferred Lender
Michael Quin
NorthPointe Bank

Michael closes loans — which sounds obvious but in this market it isn't. He communicates proactively, meets deadlines, and doesn't disappear after you submit an application. I recommend him to every buyer I work with because he's never let one of my clients down at the finish line.

Preferred Lender
Paul Salcone
Rate — VP of Mortgage Lending
📞 (401) 419-9291 📞 (401) 537-2977 📍 469 Angell Street, Suite 1, Providence, RI 02906 NMLS# 1096590

Paul brings deep mortgage expertise and a direct line to competitive rates. As VP of Mortgage Lending at Rate, he's worked with buyers across SE Massachusetts and Rhode Island and understands the nuances of this market. Responsive, sharp, and gets deals to the closing table.

Preferred Title & Closing
Dan Balkun & Sara Rasmussen Esq.
Balkun Title

Dan and Sara handle the title search, closing coordination, and all the legal paperwork that gets your deed recorded correctly and on time. They've handled everything from straightforward purchases to complex probate and estate transfers. If a deal has complications, these are the people you want in your corner.

Questions Buyers Ask

The things people actually want to know.

Not to have a conversation, but yes before we start showing properties seriously. In SE Massachusetts and RI, good homes move fast — sometimes in 48 hours. If you find something you love and you're not pre-approved, you'll lose it. I can connect you with NorthPointe Bank to get that done quickly.

In most transactions, the seller pays buyer agent compensation — so my services cost you nothing out of pocket. I'll explain exactly how compensation works in your specific situation before we move forward, so there are no surprises.

Through the team network at The Ponte Group, direct outreach to listing agents in markets you're targeting, and our Zillow Preferred agent program which provides visibility into buyer demand signals and sometimes early listing data. It's not magic — it's relationships and active market presence over time.

It depends on the price point and town. Some markets are very competitive with multiple offers on well-priced homes. Others have more inventory and more room to negotiate. When we talk, I'll give you a specific picture of what's happening in your target market today — not a general answer.

Once you're under contract, Tracy Pavao, our closing coordinator, manages the timeline — inspections, repair negotiations, title work, lender communication, and the final walkthrough. You'll always know what's happening and what's next. Nothing falls through the cracks because there's a dedicated person tracking every step.
