A GUIDE TO BUYING A HOME

One of the single most important decisions you will make in your life is purchasing a home. Locating the perfect piece of property, obtaining a mortgage, determining the sale price that meets your budget are all decisions you have to make. As a professional in the real estate business, I will help to make this process as enjoyable, less time consuming, less expensive, and as stress free as possible. My knowledge of homes currently for sale is second to none, and I can help you easily assess the properties that meet your requirements.

Points You Should Consider:

  • Understand market conditions and how they affect your position as a buyer.
  • List your needs and be specific. Prioritize this list into those items that are the most important to you and the items that would be a 'bonus' to you.
  • Think about style of homes. Do you want newer or older? How about a fixer-upper? Are schools a factor? Is the commute to work a factor? Consider all these options and talk to me.
  • Obtain a pre-approved mortgage. Having a pre-approved mortgage will give you the confidence of knowing exactly what you can spend on a home before you start looking. You will also be protected against interest rate increases while you look for a new home.
  • My office, other real estate offices and builders in the community are some of the people I will use to help find you the perfect property. When it comes time to write your offer, I will assist you and help you understand market conditions so you can make a well-informed offer. Once you have made your offer, I can expertly negotiate the final terms.
  • INSTANT MLS ON-LINE access allows you to access the newest of listings every minute of the day. This exciting new program will notify you and me via email each time a property meets your criteria. Email your preferences to me and the search for your home will have already started.
I look forward to helping you with the utmost integrity and professionalism you deserve.
