BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH US:

 

 Advantages of working with a Realtor

 
MARKET EXPERTISE
 
Whether it’s detailed sales data, new neighborhoods, or quirks you don’t see in listing photos, we are your market experts. 
TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT 
 
From ratified contract to closing day, you can rest assured we are managing each milestone and ensuring deadlines are met.

REFFERAL NETWORKS

 

We know the best lenders, inspectors, and other professionals in our area who have a hand in the transaction.

TRUSTED REPRESENTATION

 

We advocate for your best interests, from the home search to closing, with relentless loyalty and confidentiality.

1. GET PRE-APPROVED
 
 
This is your first step before looking at homes. We know you’re anxious to start looking at homes, but without a pre-approval you don’t know how much home you can afford, types of loans available and how the lender determines your buying capability. You will also need to show a pre-apporval letter when presenting an offer on a home, so this allows you to act fast when you find a home you love!
 
 
2. MEET WITH A REALTOR
 
Set up an in person meeting, zoom or phone call so we can meet and establish your specific game plan. This includes going over your pre-approval, talking about your goals, timelines, home search criteria, deal breakers, must haves; and answer all of your questions! 
 
 
3. START HOUSE HUNTING
 
We'll set you up on a direct home search from the MLS feed based on the criteria discussed at your initial consultation. From there, we'll coordinate in person showings based on listings you're interested in that match your criteria.
 
 
4. SUBMIT YOUR OFFER
 
 
When you find the right home, we’ll talk strategy and help you present a competitive offer, and negotiate terms on your behalf. It's important not to let your emotions get involved here. We need to look at this logically so you can make a smart real estate decision.
 
 
5. IN ESCROW
 
When the seller accepts your offer, you're officially "in escrow", and about 30 days out from closing. You will submit your 3% earnest money deposit into the escrow account, your lender will order the appraisal, and we will schedule your home inspections if need be. Don’t worry - - we'll send you a timeline of dates and deadlines to keep you on track.
 
 
6. CONDUCT INSPECTIONS
 
Now is your chance to do your due-diligence and have a professional inspection of the property done. We will coordinate a date and time to do in-person inspections and meet with them on your behalf. Sometimes, if a seller has already provided current inspections, a buyer may waive their inspection period altogether. 
 
 
7. REMOVE CONTINGENCIES
 
Once you are satisfied with any inspections, the appraisal has come in at value, and your lender has given you full loan approval, we can remove all contingencies and move forward to close
 
 
8. SIGN OFF
 
 
Meet with your Realtor and escrow officer to wet sign all contract + lender documents 2-3 days before close of escrow. Bring your driver's license and remainder of your down payment to be paid via cashiers check or wire transfer.
 
 
9. CLOSING DAY
 
You made it! Title is recorded with the county and you get the keys to your new home -- It's yours to love. Make sure to notify important contacts, utilities, etc., of your move, and celebrate becoming a homeowner! CHEERS!
