I am dedicated to providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the home-buying process. Our goal is to inform and guide you through each phase of your journey to find the perfect home. As a buyer specialist, my mission is to deliver an exceptional experience characterized by integrity, and professionalism. Whether you are making your first home purchase, relocating, or exploring real estate opportunities, it is essential to work with experts who truly understand your unique needs.

My approach is supported by thorough research, accurate market data, and clear direction throughout the buying process. Your satisfaction is my priority, and I look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals with confidence and ease.

Understanding Buyer
Representation

I provide you with a Buyer-Brokerage Agreement that clearly explains the role of your Buyer Agent. Signing a Buyer-Brokerage Agreement is necessary for the buy side of the transaction prior to touring a home.

Similar to the Listing Agreement provided to Sellers, Buyers can complete a contract for professional services between themselves and their Agent. This also confirms the compensation for the Buyer’s Agent and Brokerage. It should be noted that the amount a brokerage charges is not fixed by law, the commission amount is negotiable, and brokerages may set minimum fees.

Seller Paid Broker Compensation

When listing a property for sale, Sellers complete a Listing Agreement to authorize payment to the Listing Broker. In most cases, the Listing Agreement also offers a commission amount to be paid to the Broker representing the Buyer, which is then listed in the MLS.

Buyer Paid Broker Compensation

A Buyer Brokerage Agreement allows your Agent to represent you even when no offer of commission is published on the MLS. Your Agent can search for properties that are not in the MLS, and may be For Sale by Owner, Off-Market, or Coming Soon – as the Buyer Brokerage Agreement covers the payment for buy-side representation.

Let Us Guide You Home

I go above and beyond to support my clients search for their perfect home, providing guidance and advice through every step of the process to make it seamless and hassle-free. Together, we will collaborate to find a home that meets your needs, your budget, and your lifestyle – so that you can confidently make your dream home yours when you find it.

STEPS TO A

Successful Purchase

1. Buyer Consultation

There are many reasons you may be interested in buying a property or moving to a different home including additional space, living closer to work, income and vacation properties, tired of renting, better location, and better school district.

The sooner you are able to identify the main reasons to purchase, the better your chances of easily identifying the right property that suits your specific needs by focusing on that specific criteria.

2. Getting Pre-Qualified

If you are obtaining financing, getting a pre-approval letter from a lender before submitting an offer is important because it shows you are more likely to meet the proposed settlement date.

A pre-approval letter and a good faith estimate from a lender will also give you insight into the projected down payment, closing costs, and expected monthly payment.

3. Finding the Right Property

Once you have established a budget and identified your home’s criteria, I will run market analyses on comparable properties in the area to give you a clear understanding of current market value. Together, we will identify your ideal home’s location and amenities, and attend open houses in a range of areas. I will listen to your continued feedback and activate a ‘collection,’ or specialized search for properties as they hit the market until we find a home you love.

4. Visiting Properties

Your experience will be a lot more enjoyable if you have realistic expectations. Your decision will be affected by your individual requirements including your budget, available homes (inventory), the size of the lot and home, the number of beds and beds, and the school district.

Understanding everything earlier in the process enables you to find the best condo or home for your needs, without missing out on your potential dream home.

5. Submit and Negotiate Offer

Once we find the right home, we will collaborate on a competitive offer. The offer is an agreement to pay a certain price for the home if accepted and may include other terms, such as whether you are waiving any contingencies or in how many days you are willing to close.

It is my job to guide you through the decision- making process to ensure you are confident with our offer.

6. Sign Contract

Your contract is the agreement between you and the seller to purchase the property for a specific price. Also defined in the contract of sale is the settlement company, date of settlement, and earnest money deposit amount.

If required, an Escrow Deposit is the amount of money that the buyer will put in an escrow in good faith to demonstrate to the Seller that they are serious about purchasing the property. The money will only be deposited if the contract is signed and agreed by both parties.

7. Inspection Period

It is my responsibility to coordinate all desired home inspections within the agreed timeline and contractual contingencies. We will also review and discuss the disclosures and preliminary title report. You may approve or negotiate credits and/or repairs. Prior to closing, remember to schedule a final walk-through of the property to verify property is still in acceptable condition and any negotiated repairs were done.

If you are buying a condo, townhouse, or house that are part of a Home Owner’s Association (HOA) you will be required to apply and get approval before you schedule a closing.

8. Loan Application and Appraisal

If you are obtaining financing, your lender will let you know the list of financial documents necessary to provide to the lender, including a couple months of bank statements, tax records, pay stubs etc. Typically, you will have a mortgage contingency of the agreed upon length to obtain a mortgage commitment.

Once your lender has all of your documents, they will review them and issue a Clear-to- Close, which means your loan is complete and the file will be sent to the title company for closing. Your lender will have an appraisal done on the property.

9. Closing

The Closing is the final step in a real estate transaction. On the closing date, the seller signs the deed over to the buyer and officially transfers ownership and delivers keys to the home.

The buyer (or the buyer’s bank) delivers payment for the balance owed on the purchase plus closing costs which include; title search services, title insurance, prorated property taxes, mortgage insurance, homeowner’s insurance, HOA and condo fees if applicable.
