Discovering whats important to you
Whether this is your first home or your last, its probably the single most important and expensive purchase youll ever make. Thats why you deserve a real estate professional with the knowledge and skill to assist you in making informed decisions and to negotiate on your behalf. With years of experience in the business, I can provide you with the expertise and personalized attention you expect and deserve before, during and after the transaction. Ill take the time to discover what is important to you and work diligently until you are completely satisfied. |
Focusing the search
Before we head out to find the perfect house, it always helps to brainstorm and prioritize a list of all the features youre looking for. Well start with the basics including style of house, size, number of bathrooms and bedrooms, desired neighborhood, commutes to jobs and proximity to schools, parks and retail services. Then, well discuss the items on your dream list such as a master bathroom with a Jacuzzi, a 3- season porch, walk-in closets or a wooded lot. The goal is to find properties that first meet your essential needs and then as many of the extras that you can reasonably afford. I know every home isnt for you. Thats why I take the time to learn about your dreams, goals, hobbies, and interests. I use the information to pre-screen properties especially for you and make the process of searching for your new home as rewarding as possible.
Evaluating Properties
Matching the right home to the right buyer is my specialty. And I make a point of knowing about every property even before theyre listed. To do this, I spend countless hours behind the scenes touring neighborhoods, researching the market and networking throughout the community. Together, well investigate various neighborhoods and tour houses to help you get a solid feel for property value. Then, well target your desired location and search for a home that fits your lifestyle and values. To save you time, I pre-screen numerous properties to find ones that closely match your list of needs and wishes. Then I contact the sellers and their agents and schedule showings to fit your schedule. As we tour properties, I will point out their attributes as well as advise you on taking a closer look at potential problems areas such as water seepage, ventilation and finish work. Of course, there is no substitute for a professional home inspection once you make an offer, but knowing what to look for before entering negotiations will result in fewer surprises later on.
Presenting an offer
Now that youve found the perfect home, its critical that you submit an offer immediately to ensure another eager buyer doesnt beat you to the negotiating table. Ill help you determine a realistic offer price based on a general market overview and recent sales of similar properties. After reviewing fair market value, well make adjustments to the asking price based on other variables that could influence negotiations such as the propertys condition and location, the length of time the house has been on the market and the reason motivating the seller to move (if disclosed). Next, Ill submit a formal offer including property inspection and financing contingencies for your protection. Then I negotiate on your behalf.
Negotiating the Best Deal for You
The negotiating process requires skill, experience and complete objectivity. I can provide the expertise you need while sticking to the facts. When I go to the negotiating table, I go fully prepared, armed with the right information, keeping your best interests in mind. In addition to negotiating the best deal for you, Ill also walk you through the entire closing process. From recommending inspectors, surveyors and lenders to coordinating seller disclosures and title searchers, Ill do my best to ensure your deal closes smoothly and without unnecessary costs. Even after the transaction is complete, Im at your service. My commitment to you is lifelong.
