What I Do for Buyers
I listen carefully.
- Buying a home can feel like an overwhelming experience. When I first meet with buyers, I carefully explain the process of buying a house and answer any questions they might have.
- I listen closely to what my clients are looking for. I help them clarify and articulate what’s important to them in their home search.
- I help them determine if what they’re looking for is realistic.
- I work closely with clients to create a customized search based on their home and neighborhood preferences, budget, and schedule.
- I sign a contract with buyers and commit to working hard for them.
I help buyers find the right home.
- Each day I search for homes that closely match my client’s criteria.
- I take them to look at homes and help them determine whether the properties are a good value.
- I network with realtors in my company to find other homes that might not be on the Multiple Listing Service.
- If there is a scarcity of what my buyers are looking for, I contact homeowners in specific neighborhoods to see if they’re interested in selling.
I stay in close touch with our buyers their way.
- I provide regular updates to my clients via text, e-mail or phone, depending on their preference.
- I return texts, calls and e-mails immediately.
I help buyers make a strong offer.
- Once my clients have found the right home, I write up the purchase agreement and help them determine the right strategy for their offer.
- I present the offer to the sellers and their agents in a professional manner.
- I negotiate for my buyers in the case of any counter-offers.
- I offer recommendations on professional home inspectors and help them through this process.
I manage the process between the offer and the closing.
- After an offer has been accepted, I work with loan officers, appraisers, closers, and other professionals to help ensure that the closing happens on time.
- I stay in close touch with our clients as I move toward the final details of closing on the home.
- I accompany my buyers through the closing.
- I do a “walk through” with my buyers prior to closing to make sure the home is in good shape.
- I attend the closing and help explain the process.
- I serve as a resource for homeowners.
- After my clients move into their new home, I am available to help them with any final questions and the process of settling-in.
- I can recommend a wide network of wonderful home service professionals who can help new home owners with construction, repair, and maintenance needs.
- I have relationships with great lenders who have up-to-date information on products for refinancing or home equity loans.
- I am ready to help you sell or buy your next house!
