For Buyers

You need an agent like me on your side.

You’ll have an expert to guide you through the process.

Buying or selling a house requires multiple disclosure forms including seller’s property disclosure forms, lead based paint disclosures for properties built prior to 1978 and siding disclosures. Realtors can provide helpful insight into the home inspection process. I am up to date on issues that lenders and appraisers will likely call out for repair. I know when it’s time to call in the experts in other areas. As your Realtor, I can guide you through the complex transaction.

Benefits from a Realtors Negotiation experience.

Buying or selling, negotiations are an integral part of the each step in the process of any real estate transaction. While price is a major consideration, there are other areas where negotiations are necessary. Possession dates can be critical to many transactions, as can repair issues that need to be done in order to obtain financing. Effective communication and problem solving are two areas where I excel. Attaining your goal is my mission.

Property Marketing power.

Real estate doesn’t sell due to advertising alone. In fact, a large share of real estate sales comes as the result of a practitioner’s contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and networking with other Realtors. When a property is marketed with the help of a Realtor, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your Realtor will prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property. With the use of the new electronic SentriLock lockboxes your listing agent has a record of who entered your house and when.

Realtors have done it before.

Most people buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each purchase. Even if you’ve done it before rules and regulations change. As part of the licensing process, Realtors are required to complete a minimum of 30 hours of continuing education courses to renew his or her license. As your agent, I am up to date on the regulations and rules.

Buying and selling is emotional.

A home often symbolizes family, rest, and security; it’s not just a house. Because of this, buying and selling can be an emotional undertaking. For most people, a home is the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective third party helps you stay focused on both the emotional and financial issues most important to you.
