The first
step in purchasing your new home is to find a realtor
that you feel comfortable with and communicates well
with you. When selecting a Realtor, knowing who the
Realtor really represents is very important. A listing
agent really represents the seller. Can a listing agent
represent both the seller and buyer? Yes, but is that
the right choice. A buyer's agent only represents the
buyer. During our introduction meeting, we will discuss
the different agent relationships. We will also identify
your needs and wants.
The Financial Process
This is the second most important topic to discuss.
We will discuss why this is important, how you can go
about being pre-approved, and what will be the impact on
your credit score. If not being at least pre-qualified,
you may end up wasting a lot of your time looking for
your new home. I will help you find the right mortgage
person/company for your needs
Resales - Short Sales - Foreclosures
We will be happy to discuss the pros and cons of
each.
The Contract Process
We will review the contract, the seller's
disclosure, the initial deposit, selecting an attorney,
and how a contract is processed including the different
stages of the contract.
The Contract was accepted - now what?
There are additional deposits, inspections, title
insurance, homeowners insurance, home protection plan,
and much more.
The Closing
This part of the buying process includes the
mortgage commitment, walk-through, attending the
closing, and how I and Coldwell Banker work with you
after you have purchased your new home. Don't forget to
ask me about our free
HomeBase management system.
Buyer's Consultation
To aid my buyers in purchasing their new home, I
have developed a Buyer's Consultation Power Point
presentation. This presentation can be done in my
office, or on-line. I have found that meeting in-person
is by far the best approach. You get to meet the Realtor
and I get to meet the buyer. I also ask my buyers to
come prepared with all of their question.
We are
Internet Proficient and able to communicate with you
wherever you are via e-mail, e-fax, e-signature,
texting, and creating a web page if needed.
