BUYERS

Buying a home comes with a mind filled with questions. As your real estate agent, I will be asking relevant questions to gather the information that would help you focus in on your true needs and desires for your dream home. I will leverage my local market knowledge and experience, and connect with the appropriate industry partners to make the process of finding your dream home… a dream.

Before setting foot in any open house, we have to ensure you know what your buying power is. It is the worst when you find the ideal property only to later find out you cannot afford it, or worst to have it slip through your fingers because someone else, better prepared than you, beat you to it. I can refer you to my lender partners who can help you to fix your credit, determine how much you can afford for a down payment, and make sure you’re a solid buyer when making your offers.

Let the fun begin! Armed with a non-negotiable and a negotiable lists, we will have a clear idea of what you are looking for in a home and the community it is located in. I will set you up with an alert so you are the first to know when a new listing comes on the market. I will also reach out to colleagues and partners and match your must-haves and your budget to available off-market listings. I will schedule viewings and be there to offer guidance as you view property after property.

You have found your dream home! I will help you to draft an outstanding offer, that is fair and in-line with the market, and write up the purchase agreements. I will negotiate the best contingency terms and ensure that you do not spend more money than you need to. Should we still fall short, I’ll give you an uplifting pep-talk as we prepare to submit the next offer.

Congratulations, your offer has been accepted! It is recommended that you have a licensed inspector inspect the property. Many times there can be issues that cannot be observed during a walk-through, and should such issues arise I will discuss with you the best strategies to use. A home inspection can be a great negotiation tool and the best insurance you can ever get on a property.

I have highly professional and reliable escrow officers and lenders who make the whole transaction and particularly the loan approval process a breeze. I will personally regularly monitor the transaction progress and keep you updated.

You closed on your home! The escrow process is tedious (unless is chaotic which is not bueno!), and you will be overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork you need to fill out and sign, but you made it. Last steps in the process will the the final walk-through, signing the closing statements, and my handing you the keys!
