Where to Begin
Where to Begin...
Buying?
Pre-qualification
This is when we determine your buying power (your financial reserves plus your borrowing power). This keeps our search goals realistic! I will carefully lead you through this process. Homes in this market can sell really fast. I make sure that when you find your dream home you are READY.
Verification of your down payment. Gift Letters IF you are receiving help from Mom and Dad. Your Financials... YOU need to be READY to go in this market. Foreclosures are sold in days. "Regular" sales are looking for buyers who are READY… And then there are Short Sales that have been bank approved, they want you more than READY So I can help you gather the necessary paperwork BEFORE you fall in love with that new home.
Selecting the Right Property
There are thousands of properties with "For Sale' signs in their lawns.... but not all are actually for sale. My job is to help you focus on homes meeting your specific requirements that can actually be purchased. I will do my homework. I will give you the information needed to offer a fair price.
Negotiating
This step involves MUCH more than agreeing to a fair price. Items such as terms and financing, date of possession, inclusion/ exclusion of repairs or furnishings, inspection time frames, and distribution of incidental costs are just some of things that will be negotiated with the sellers. My job is to create a win/win scenario in every detail of the purchase.
Monitoring managing the processes of appraisals, inspections, and financing involves many legal forms and checklists, and if not managed efficiently and effectively, can pose many challenges. My team, along with my watchful attention, will ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Renegotiating & Closing/Settling
In this step I am there to help you understand the complicated escrow instructions and move to closing. If there are any final negotiations such as repairs or other issues I will tie up all loose ends and bring us to a successful settlement and closing… I will even help you find a mover!
