REALTOR SERVICES - WHY USE A REALTOR?

Is 'your' Realtor working for you?   As a home buyer, your interests are not represented unless you have told the Realtor who is showing you homes that you want them to represent you as your Buyer's Agent. If you haven't, your Agent could be representing the seller.

A buyer's agent protects your best interests.   Buying a home is often one of the largest financial decisions you will make in your lifetime. It does not cost you anything to be represented by a professional buyer's agent like myself and it could save you thousands. Sellers have agents working for them and home buyers should too!

Why choose me as your buyer's agent?   As a dedicated buyer's agent, I perform services for you that a seller's Agent can't - such as showing you reasons not to buy a certain property; negotiating the best price and terms for you; including contingencies in the contract that protect you, rather than the seller; and keeping confidential any information that could hurt your bargaining position. If there are better-priced homes in the area, I will also give you an unbiased opinion and show you those homes.

From house hunting to closing , I am here for you every step of the way.

REALTOR SERVICES

Buying your Home 
I take the buying process as seriously as my buyers do and offer quality services to my clients. When you are ready to purchase your home, make sure you hire someone whom you  trust, and with the experience and the attention to detail that you deserve. Here are some of the steps I will take to find your perfect home:

Distinguish between your Wants and your Needs
This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions, I will establish what you are looking for. My goal is not to waste your time by looking at properties that are not in your price range or homes that don't meet your needs. Throughout the buying process, I will maintain your confidentiality and represent your best interests.

Help You Get Pre-Qualified
This step will show you how much you can afford. This is accomplished by speaking with your Financial Institution and establishing what monthly payments you are comfortable with.

Home Shopping
I will use every available method to locate a property that matches your search criteria. This will include properties listed with our office, offered through other real estate companies, as well as unlisted properties which are for sale by owner. You will be informed of all known facts about the property that are likely to affect your decision. When I find the home that meets your criteria, I will assist you in writing an offer and will act as your Realtor link between you and the Seller and the Seller's Agent.

It's my Job to find you a Home....but it is my Privilege to help you achieve your home-ownership goals.
