HIRING THE RIGHT AGENT TO REPRESENT YOU IS KEY. Buying a new home is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. There are questions that need answers, as well as important decisions to make. That’s why you need the right agent to represent you. When you decide to work with me, my goal is to provide you with the most positive home-buying experience from beginning to end. As your dedicated agent, I WILL: • Evaluate your specific needs and wants – and locate properties that meet your exact requirements. • Assist you in determining the amount you can afford (pre-qualification) and only show you properties in that price range. • Accompany you on showings or preview properties on your behalf to ensure your specifications are met. • Research selected properties to identify any problems or issues to help you make an informed decision prior to making a purchase offer. Helpful Tips to Make Your House-Hunting Experience Positive and Rewarding. Pick an Ideal Location You’ve probably heard the old saying, “location, location, location.” This point still bears repeating. Location is everything. When deciding on a new home, ask yourself these important questions: • Advise you on how to best structure an appropriate purchase offer, including an analysis of the selected property’s market value. • Present your offer to the seller’s agent and/or the seller on your behalf. • Negotiate on your behalf to help obtain the property you desire, while always keeping your best interests in mind. What is your desired commute time? • Coordinate any appropriate inspections. • Assist in securing appropriate financing for the property you choose. Are high-quality schools in the neighborhood? • Provide a list of qualified vendors if any services are needed. What is the proximity to grocery stores and shopping malls? • Counsel and guide you along the way – but I’ll never pressure, push or direct you into making any decisions unless you’re 100% comfortable with them. Are senior services available? You can be confident knowing I’ll fully represent you throughout the entire real-estate transaction by providing: • • • • • • Truthful and honest communication Superior service Extensive experience and market knowledge High standards and ethics Skillful negotiation Continuous follow-through Is public transportation nearby? You can find your dream home, but if it’s in an undesirable location, it can be a poor choice, especially if you anticipate reselling your home within a few years. Always pay close attention to where the home is located.
