For the Buyer

You will know it when you see it

Before beginning your home search for buying property it is very important to understand your buying power. If you are paying cash, what is your comfortable price range? If you will acquire a loan it is helpful to all parties to become Pre-Qualified through your financial institution of choice.

Set up property tours and visit as many homes as necessary until you find the one.

Let's begin our evaluation...

• Does it meet all of your search criteria needs

• Did you get the feeling when I state that "you will know it when you see it"

• Does it meet your lifestyle - is it near necessities for You such as easy access to major thoroughfares, retail, restaurants, parks exercise, privacy, schools, work, family, community, walkability ... we can go on and on because each Buyer has different needs

• Visit the neighborhood at various times of the day (morning, afternoon, evening) - how is the traffic, activity

• Visit Helpful Resources and explore a vast library of tools including crime mapping, schools, etc.

Let's research how the listing is priced by evaluating in depth the most recent closed transactions in the neighborhood or immediate area and drill down to comparables and a Comparable Market Analysis.

Presenting an offer

Should we make an Offer?

Let's create a strategy of presenting an Offer and discuss possible negotiations toward our goal of executing a Purchase Agreement.

We will review agency representation and documentation that occurs during the real estate process including contingencies to protect your interests as well as the importance of coordination and meeting calendar goals to successfully arrive at the closing table.
