We take the buying process as seriously as our buyers do, therefore we offer nothing but the highest quality of service to our clients. When you decide to purchase your home, make sure you hire someone whom you can trust and someone who wants to earn your business. Buying your home is one of the most important purchases you will make, so make sure you have the right agent who can provide you with the experience and the service you deserve. When you understand current market conditions, you are better able to position yourself as a Seller. It helps to know if you are in a Seller's, Buyer's or Balanced market when setting your asking price. In a Buyer's market there is a lot more competition and Buyers have plenty of choices and room to negotiate, forcing you to be very competitive when setting your price. Here are some of the steps I will take to find your perfect home: Determine Your Wants and Needs
This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions I will establish what you are looking for. I will listen to your needs, wants and desires. My goal is to not waste your time by looking at properties that are not in your price range or homes that don't meet your needs. Throughout the buying process I will maintain your confidentiality and represent your best interests. Once I have identified what you are most interested in, I will help narrow the search to only the best homes to meet your requirements. Help You Get Pre-Qualified
This step will show you how much you can afford. This is accomplished by speaking with your financial institution and establishing what monthly payments you will be comfortable with. I can provide names of excellent loan officers or mortgage brokers and explain the value and differences in each to help ensure you find the best possible mortgage for your needs. Home Shopping
We will use every available method to locate a property that matches your search parameters. This will include properties listed with our office, offered through other real estate companies, as well as unlisted properties. We will disclose all known facts about the property that are likely to affect your decision. When we find the home that meets your criteria, I will assist you in writing an offer and act as a liaison between you and the seller. I will also do a comparitive market analysis to help determine the price you might want to offer. |

A qualified, competent real estate agent will help you navigate the myriad of decisions that arise when buying and selling a home. An agent provides value to the homeowner in many ways: - Pays for all marketing and advertising costs.
- Adds experience and expertise in all aspects of the sales process including marketing, financing, negotiations and more.
- Handles all showings.
- Brings a network of known, trusted real estate professionals. If your agent doesn't have the answer, he or she likely knows someone who does.
- Always has your interests in mind so you always have someone on your side.
- Can handle and advise on all price and contract negotiations.
- Provides you with all the possible options and opportunities without holding back.
- Gives an unbiased, realistic view of your home and your options. Unlike buyers and sellers, an agent has no emotional attachment to property.
- Has the knowledge to help you ask the right questions.
- Being a third party, potential buyers are more likely to tell your agent the truth about your home, even if it is unflattering. This objective viewpoint will help you make the necessary changes to get your home sold.
- Your time is valuable. A real estate agent allows you to spend your time how you want.
- Agents filter through the thousands of properties on the market to find those that best meet your needs.
- Finds creative solutions to finding the right property for you.
- Coordinates all transaction negotiations.
- Provides all necessary paperwork to title and lender.
- Provides information about home inspectors and home warranty options.
Be certain that the agent you choose is qualified and willing to do all of the above. They should care about your needs and be willing to work to accomplish your desired results. Don't be afraid to ask many questions before you sign anything, the positive outcome could be at risk. |
