The title of this page is the most important word on it and selecting the right Realtor for you is essential to getting the kind of absolute professional service you deserve.

For Sellers
At Dettmer & Associates our aim is to provide you with the best real estate service you could expect from any company, large or small. Our 45 day/45 point Sales Plan for Sellers is a unique feature we offer with our promise to leave no stone unturned in selling your home for the highest dollar amount possible, in the shortest amount of time, with the greatest of ease for you the seller.

A large part of our Sales Plan is professionally marketing your property. In addition to prominently featuring your property on our homepage and listing it with the Multiple Listing Service, it will also be beautifully staged and professionally photographed to show it in the best possible light and attract more potential buyers.

Wait, what does "staged" mean, you ask? As defined by Wikipedia, staging a home is, "the act of grooming a home to make it more attractive to potential buyers and to raise the value of the home." It's one of the most important steps in distinguishing your home from the competition. Currently, Dettmer & Associates is the only company (that we're aware of) that offers a free staging plan tailored to your home when you list with us. In most cases we will even advance any fees for out of pocket expenses to prepare your home for sale, later applying the charges to the escrow proceeds. This means no advance out of pocket expenses for you! With your staging plan, you will be given a written estimate of all presale preparation costs and, of course, nothing will be done without your approval.


In addition to professionally marketing your property, we will also handle all of the required and very important disclosure forms, make sure all reporting requirements are met, and assist with obtaining pest reports and other home inspections... among many other things. Rest easy, we've done this many times and can easily guide you through the process, or just take care of it for you.

Intrigued? We would love the opportunity to meet you and show you step by step our plan to make your home outshine the competition with Dettmer & Associates. Give us a call today!

For Buyers
Our intention is to represent you the buyer in the most professional and earnest manner possible, while helping you find the right home for your needs and financial goals. In order to prepare you for the active home search, we recommend that you allow us to give you a little homework.

Your homework is to develop a clear idea of the home you desire. Questions to ask yourself include: Are you looking for a single family residence, a condo, or something else? How many bedrooms and bathrooms will you need? Will you need parking spaces or to be close to public transportation? What other neighborhood amenities should be close by? Is there a particular neighborhood(s) in which you're interested? Basically, paint us a picture of your goal and we'll help you attain it.

contract While you're working on that, our in house loan agent will be busy prequalifying you for a home loan. Knowing the loan amount you qualify for is a great way to set realistic goals for your home purchase ability. It also ensures we recognize and avoid any potential financial pitfalls before making an offer.

Now we're ready to search! Once we have a good idea of what you're looking for, Dettmer & Associates can provide you with a list of properties currently on the market that match your description. If any current listings peek your interest, we'll set up a time to tour each of them and make an offer when the time is right. If no listing feels quite right, we'll stay on top of sending you new listings (and revisiting reduced ones!) so that we're always prepared to make an offer.

We are confident that if we prepare you for your purchase, you will know intuitively when it is the right home for you. Then, we'll mind the details of negotiating the best possible deal, dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's, to flawlessly close the deal.
