As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

Testimonials
"Beth sold my house in 36 hours for more than I ever anticipated I would get. She kept me informed with timely texts and was very knowledgeable. On a personal note, she is a super nice person. If you don't use Beth Doherty to sell your home, you will regret it later."
-Jeff S., Client
"Beth Doherty knows the real estate business, the lake front area, has great communication skills and is highly responsive to, even predictive of, the client's needs. I was selling two houses and buying one house at the same time, therefore working with three different agents, and Beth set the bar for agent professionalism, knowledge, and operations. She was always pleasant even when the going got a little rough, and tough decisions had to be made. Beth was also very resourceful when it came to local professionals who could help me sell the house such as plumbers, electricians, handy men, etc. I value good communication skills both in terms of clarity and timeliness and Beth excelled at both of these. Again, she was always pleasant in her communications with me. I would recommend Beth Doherty because a person needs a professional they can rely on in this, one of the most tense times of their lives. Beth will be there for you. She was for me."
-Kathy F., Client

-Paul D., Client
