Finding Your Home

Every buyer is completely different. Each person has their own style, needs, desires, and budget for purchasing a property. Therefore, let us know what you're looking for in a home to narrow down our searches and only show you properties suitable for you. Before you tell ME what you're looking for, make a list of things you require and things you desire to have in your new home. Then, discuss the list with your co-buyer(s) (if applicable) and make sure you all agree to have everyone on the same page and make the house-hunting process run much smoother.       

After narrowing down a list of what you're looking for, I will start looking at homes for you in my internal databases and external sources. I also invite you to look for listed properties that look appealing to you and send them to me for further screening. After selecting various properties, you will let me know a convenient date and time to view the homes in person. At that point, I will schedule showings, and we will repeat this process until you have picked a property you would like to call home!     

Once you would like to make an offer on a property, it's essential to act fast! First, we will sit down and look at the neighborhood's trends and comparable market values. Based on this information and the subject property's features and overall condition, we will determine the price you would like to offer. Next, I will write an offer based on your directions on the offer price and contingencies. While you may offer what you wish, please keep in mind of the following components that make an offer more appealing to a seller: a strong offer price, a larger earnest money deposit, a shorter inspection period, no financing conditions, and a closing day that is convenient for the seller. To make your offer stand out from the others, I also recommend you write a personalized letter to the seller explaining why you love the home! Once an offer is submitted, the seller can: accept the offer, decline the offer, or counter-offer.
