Buying a home can be both exciting and stressful at the same time. Choosing the right REALTOR® is the best step in minimizing your stress and increasing your excitement. My years of experience in real estate and training in finance will guarantee you find the best home at the best price and with the best financial terms. My clients keep coming back to me because I remain a resource to them long after the sale.
Give me a chance to show you why.

First Things First:

1.      Review your credit. If there are problems get them taken care of now.

2.      Review your budget. Know what you can afford in monthly payments.

3.      Choose a lender (or two) and submit necessary information to become pre-approved.
(I can help you with this)

4.      Narrow your search area. Where do you want to live?

Next choose your Realtor®:

1.      Ask for your neighbors, friends and family who they used and whether they would use their Realtor® again.

2.      Interview more than one Realtor® with prepared questions. Don’t hire Aunt Sally just because she is related to you.

3.      Make sure your choice is familiar with the neighborhoods you desire.

4.      Make sure they are knowledgeable of the current market conditions.

Your chosen Realtor® should:

1.      Listen to your needs and desires.

2.      Be prepared to show you ALL properties that meet your criteria, including MLS, non-MLS, FSBO and New Home Developments.

3.      Be able to fulfill all your needs during the home buying process.

4.      Guide you in your decision by pointing out pitfalls and opportunities.

5.      Negotiate on your behalf to get the best terms and conditions.

Making the offer:

1.      Follow your Realtor’s lead in setting your offered price and terms.

2.      Be flexible and be prepared to adjust to avoid disappointment.

3.      Sit back and let your Realtor® negotiate for you.

Closing the transaction:

1.      Your Realtor® should attend your closing with you.

2.      Be prepared as advised by your Lender and Realtor®.

3.      Congratulations…you own a new home.

After the sale:

1.      Your Realtor® should be a source of information to you as you settle in.

2.      Assemble and save all papers from the transaction in a safe place.
