Buyer Services

I have received an A.B.R. designation, of which only about 3% of Realtors across the country hold. It is a process that requires actual experience working with buyers as well as coursework. As a Buyers Representative, there are many unique circumstances in which excellent representation by a Realtor will put you, as a buyer, in a better position to purchase and negotiate on a home. These skills of negotiation and experienced buyer representation are what I bring to the table for you, the BUYER! Please see my testimonials for examples of my work with previous buyers.

I am a professional with all real estate matters, and I always answer my direct line, unless with a client. If I cannot answer your call live, I will return your call as soon as I have a free moment between homes or customers! Ask around and call a few agents just to see how quickly they return your calls, I am always ready to do business for my clients.

I represent Buyers FREE of charge. I bring the expertise and negotiation skills to your home purchase all the way to closing day and you pay NOTHING to have the experience and representation of a professional!

As a Buyers Representative, I require that all of my clients speak to a local lending professional about their budget and price range for purchasing a home. This is in the very best interest of the buyer, so that you are viewed by any seller as a strong and qualified buyer. Additionally, so we use our time as wisely as possible, having a pre-approval will allow us to view homes that work with your budget. Walking into an offer situation with a pre-approval is leverage to getting you the home of your dreams, as quickly as possible, and in a multiple offer situation, may be the difference between being selected as the buyer and not getting the home of your dreams. Monthly house payments are often the final decision maker when purchasing a home, and with a professional local lender, they can guide you to where your comfort level is when looking at potential properties. Please check the Local Lenders page for professional and competitive Lender suggestions!

I want to know what you and your family want and need in your home purchase. I want to help you find what works best for you, considering variables such as schools, financial concerns, highway locales, shopping, number of bedrooms, parking needs, or a fenced yard for doggies. I want you to find the home you have been dreaming of, and will work very hard to find you and your family what you need and dream of. I work within your schedule to see homes, morning, lunch hour, evening, weekends and holidays, If you have to see it, we will be there as soon as humanly possible! Select to Email me your dream home criteria here.

The internet provides a vast amount of knowledge and information especially for real estate today! After meeting with buyers, I compile a list of criteria that you determine must be met in order to consider buying a home; areas, bedrooms, garage and other criteria. I set you up on an automatic email system in which any home that meets your criteria will be emailed to your inbox as they become listed in the Multiple Listing Service, anytime of the day or night. The system checks new home listings for your criteria and alerts both you and I each time a home is found that meet your needs. As soon as a house is put on the market that matches your criteria, you will be notified, and have the opportunity to be the first to view the home. From the time you begin your search, to the time you find your home and we begin the process of writing an offer, communication is top priority for EVERYONE involved in the transaction.

Let the negotiations begin! I will work with you and the listing agent to get you the best terms and price for the home possible. I will do a search for comparable properties and square footage and even consider other homes which have sold on the same street to get a good handle on the value of the home. I will create a complete presentation and deliver it to the listing agent as well as the home seller as soon as possible after the ink has dried.

Inspections are a must when investing in a home! I have access to all types of inspectors, and because of my relationship with them, they are often very quick to schedule the inspections. Whole house, termite, radon, roof, structure, mold, HVAC - anything you can think of - we can get it done in a very short amount of time. Contractors and licensed professionals are often called after the inspections to get an idea of the cost of suggested repairs on the home. I will work to get these done in the time frame necessary to counter offer with the seller for needed repairs or maintenance on the home. I will also schedule a final walk through the day before the closing to ensure any repairs or maintenance were completed. Please see The Home Inspection Process to learn more about these inspectors and Vendor Links to get more info on preferred vendors.

I will be in constant communication with the lender involved with the transaction to make sure the Appraiser and Inspectors can get their jobs done and the Insurance Agent can get into the home to do all of the work necessary to get you to the closing table. At the time of closing I can suggest appropriate home warranty options for your first year in the home. 24 hours prior to closing the HUD1 Settlement Statement will be available for you and I to review and understand before ever stepping into the closing room.
