A  QUALITY  ADVOCATE  IS  WORTH  LOT$.
An agent who is excited about helping you, one will represent you vigorously is invaluable. Terry will be your advocate and he is passionate about getting you the best deal--when you buy or sell.
  See what my clients say.  If you do not have a top notch agent on your side, prepare to leave money on the table.

QUALITY  REPRESENTATION  IS  INDISPENSABLE
It makes a BIG DIFFERENCE to have representation in today's market. You DESERVE the best representation. (If you had to go to court, you'd want an outstanding lawyer to represent you, right?.) The same principle is relevant to a real estate transaction. 

AND you want an experienced agent who is truthful, fair and honest. Those are not things to talk about in church on Sunday and then forget on Monday. Terry follows the standard clearly stated by John Dodge, a founder of the Dodge Motor Co: "There is no twilight zone in business, a thing is either right or it's wrong."

FROM  OUT  OF  THE  AREA?
Many have chosen Yakima even over Wenatchee, CleElum, Ellensburg, Richland etc. (not to mention Seattle and other western Washington places) because of our honest Western spirit, our diverse, friendly and generous people, AND the matchless scenic beauty, sunshine and opportunities for outdoor recreation.

You will want to check out the section of this website labeled "Areas-Communities." Maps and several pages dedicated to these separate areas provide an informal introduction to many communities in the Yakima area. All of the photos and descriptions are by Terry Fortier.

Considering a move to this area because you are applying for a position in Yakima or one of the surrounding communities?  These pages provide invaluable background information.

Sellers:  My marketing and promotion will let every buyer know about your house AND-if they could possibly be interested-my pictures and research-based description will motivate them to get inside. I am not like all the other agents. I work the listing.  Unsurpassed quality (and quantity) of Promotional pictures, Descriptions, "Talking House" AM radio transmitters, 24 hour message phones, Homefeedback.com, and the Guaranteed Sale program, are just some of the methods that assure the greatest exposure, the greatest enhancement of your home's equity and complete communication for you.

MLS (Multiple Listing Association) agreements mean that I can help you buy any home listed by any company.  You choose from all the listings from all companies.  You, the buyer, pay nothing. All fees come entirely from the seller's proceeds.  As a buyer, it doesn't cost anything to get excellent representation.  Shop smart.  Have this experienced buyer's agent on your side.

Listen to some of my clients:
Ken and Paula Brandon were just one of many couples I have helped get the home they wanted in spite of the sellers having already received another acceptable offer. 

Ken Brandon said, "We have dealt with a number of Realtors over the years in several different areas, but Terry was the best we've ever worked with.  From the very first phone conversation, he kept us regularly informed about the market!"  His wife, Paula added, "We finally found a real estate agent who truly represented us."

PRACTICAL  HELP 
GET  READY  FOR  THE  MARKET

PRESENTATION:
  Preparing a home for sale involves much more than painting, updating or remodeling.  (Of course, those can be important and every detail of the condition of the home deserves careful consideration.)  Some of the most important aspects of quality presentation require spending no money.  Knowing what to do and, more importantly, what not to do can be more important than how much you pay.  Ask me about setting up a two hour visit with a Real Estate expert, a designer who will come to your home and help you stage it for maximum impact. -This is one more service I provide when you list with me.

MARKETING:  Selecting the right agent who is part of a team of professionals can be your most important decision.  (It is foolish to decide on the basis of the price that an agent suggests-I will tell you what you need to know but you always make the ultimate decision on price.)  Quality marketing means hiring an agent who will work the listing. I will work to maximize the exposure of your home.  My unique approach drastically reduces the number of buyers who eliminate your property by glancing at an ad.  Instead, they are more likely to seek additional information or ask for a showing.  What you do and don't reveal in advertising is most critical.  Subtle things make a huge difference!

{If you decide not to use an agent WHEN YOU SELL, then you need even more information-especially about promoting your home in the Yakima and Washington State real estate market.  (Ask for my Free report: "Ten Inside Tips for Selling Your Home Yourself".)}
   
PRICE:  Pricing your home appropriately is the most powerful of the three essential elements.  Contact me for a  Complimentary  Market  Valuation  to get vital input on this essential decision.  (It is surprising how many sellers think that they are clever by comparing only the prices suggested by the agents they interview.  Actually that is the least thing you should be concerned about.  Let's discuss marketing above all else.  You set the price, I'll get it for you.)  My marketing includes making your home a "Talking House."  My team will expose your home on more than a dozen websites.  Our approach is revolutionary and it blows the socks off the competition.  List with me to get your home sold and get  the most money in your pocket.
