Buying a Home
Whether it’s your first home or if you’re an experienced buyer, purchasing a home is a complex process and ever-changing in this rapidly changing market. If you've purchased a home before, things may not seem the same this time around. If you have never purchased a home, there's a lot you need to know and I'll make sure you know it all and guide you through the process - it can be overwhelming. Once you’ve found the home that’s right for you, I will guide you through the process of making an offer; negotiating the terms of the sale; getting your potential purchase inspected, repaired and appraised, and closing the sale.
When you work with me, you will:
- Be more likely to find the home that meets all your criteria
- Lessen the amount of time it will take to find your home
- Understand all the terms, processes and documents used when buying your home
- Have up-to-date market information that will allow you to make informed decisions
- Have a skilled negotiator working on your behalf, one who is committed to looking after your best interests
- Enjoy peace of mind, knowing that all the details of your purchase are being taken care of by an experienced and knowledgeable professional.
Selling a Home
Finding a buyer for your home is only one facet of a real estate professional’s job. There are so many moving parts to a Seller's side of the real estate deal. My services include explaining the basic real estate practices and principles and all the related paperwork so you have a thorough understanding, performing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to help determine your home’s value, helping to prepare your home for the market (staging, repair recommendations, photo preparation recommendations), listing your home, marketing your home, and keeping you informed throughout the process. It’s so important to work with someone who will assist you with the paperwork, negotiate on your behalf, make sure deadlines are met, and work with the closing attorney's office to finalize the sale. You need a seasoned professional on your side. I've seen many sellers leave money on the table, spend too much time on the market, or get the "short end of the stick" because they didn't have the right representation.
By working with me, you will:
- Be more likely to realize the highest return on the sale of your home
- Reduce the number of days your home is on the market
- Become familiar with all the terms, processes and paperwork involved in selling your home
- Have confidence that your home will enjoy exposure to more buyers and agents with qualified buyers
- Receive regularly updated market information that will enable you to make informed decisions
- Have a skilled negotiator working on your behalf
- Have peace of mind knowing that all the details of your sale are being handled properly by a licensed and trained professional
