Home Buyers

Looking to Buy a Home

For buyers, my goal is simple - to find you the best properties available for sale that meet your criteria and price range, so you can make an informed purchasing decision. Once you find the "one" and decide to move forward with submitting an offer to the seller, I can help you get the best price and terms that meet your needs. From submitting an offer to facilitating inspections and coordinating your closing day, my services go far beyond other agents as I listen to my clients and get them exactly what they are looking for.

What is Needed Prior To Submitting an Offer

You’ve found your dream house, now let's make it your Dream Home. Begin your home-buying process by cleaning up your credit report and credit score and ask your bank for a Pre-approval Letter so you know exactly what amount you are qualify for based on your personal income and financials. If financing partial or the full amount, you will need a pre-approval letter which makes up an important part of your offer package.

Get The Service You Deserve

When you are out there trying to find a house that is perfect for you and your family, it’s a good idea to prepare a list of all your needs, wants, and don’t-wants. Yes, an open mind is helpful when shopping for a house, but you don’t need to compromise on the things you truly care about. Prioritize your top 5 “must-have” qualities in a home, your top 5 “like to have” qualities, and you top 5 “we absolutely don’t want” qualities and take the list with you when you go house shopping. You will be able to quickly eliminate homes that don’t fit your needs and wants and be able to spot the homes that deserve some greater attention.

Have a Professional Buyer's Agent in Your Corner

When you are buying a home, there is a lot to do to prepare for Closing Day. Once your offer is accepted it does not stop there. That's where my invaluable expertise and knowledge helps you navigate issues that may come up during the inspection period, setting up an appraisal, purchasing title and property insurance to name a few things I assist with. I work hard to get you the best terms so that you are 100% satisfied with your new purchase.

 

READY TO START LOOKING, LET ME HELP!

 

Before you start submitting an offer for a property you like and that meets your criteria, you will need a few things to set yourself up. Some common items that are needed include but are not limited to a Letter of Pre-Qualification or Pre-Approval from your lender, Home Inspector, Title Insurance, Property Insurance and a Contract. I can help you with all of this and more, so you don't have to worry about anything. 

 

Lender's typically ask for a lot of information before approving a loan including Personal Tax Returns (for the past few years), Proof of Employment, Credit Score, etc. Just as they have questions for you - you should have some for them too such as what type of loans to do they (FHA, VA, Conventional) and how long should the approval process take.

 

I believe communication is key during the closing process and I work hard to make sure my clients remain in the driving seat during Closing. I ensure the Title Company, Lender, Seller's Agent, Home Inspector, etc. are all on the same page so you get what you need at the time you need it to close properly.
