UNDERSTANDING YOUR NEEDS:

• I conduct an initial interview with you to determine your home needs such as location, financing, price and other criteria so that I can fully assist you.
  

• I also help you by providing information and websites so you can better understand what the town offers and how that fits into your needs

FINANCING:

• If you require home financing, I recommend lenders to assist you in obtaining the best possible loan.

HOME SEARCH:

• I am knowledgeable of the local market and can provide you a list of what is available now on the market and I will notify you when new properties are listed, or when a price change occurs.

• I can provide you with a wealth of information on the area you desire; understanding the market trends and what the community has to offer.

NEGOTIATING THE PRICE:

• As your buyer agent, I will assist you in obtaining the best possible price and terms for the purchase property.

• I will provide you a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) before an offer is written. This will assist you in determining a competitive offering price to ensure that you would be purchasing at market value.

THE BUYING PROCESS:

• As your Buyer's Agent I guide you through the complete buying process which includes:

  • FINANCING: I will monitor the entire loan process and will be available to answer all of the questions you may have.

  • HOME INSPECTIONS: I highly recommend that you a have professional Home Inspection. Upon your request, I can provide a list of local licensed home inspectors from which you can select one.

  • HOME WARRANTY: It is a good idea to consider a one-year home warranty. Coldwell Banker has a home warranty program that you can accept to purchase or decline.

  • HOME OWNERS INSURANCE: I can assist you in ordering your Homeowners insurance, which you need prior to the closing.

  • CLOSING: I will be present at the closing to see that the closing goes as smoothly as possible. This is when you take title of the property and sign many closing documents.
    

ONCE YOU ARE SETTLED IN:

• I will continue to stay in touch with you and be available to provide any answers you have about real estate. I am here to assist you and hope you will refer me to your family and friends when they require a real estate professional.
