We give our Buyers control.
Whether you are a first time homebuyer or a seasoned investor, our proven buyer process gives you the advantage. We make getting to know you our top priority so that we can help provide every potential option. We offer cutting edge search tools and can provide access to listings before they hit the public market. Our proactive networking and targeted mail-in program increases your chances of finding the home you want, while our deep experience and negotiation skills help structure your winning offer. Here’s how it works:
Step One:
Connected & Committed
From the moment we meet (whether initially on the phone or in person) our goal is to make you feel comfortable that you’ve made the right choice—and show that we’re committed to providing honest and caring advice. Whether it’s your first home or you’re already a home-buying pro, we’re ready to help with all the details you need.
Step Two:
Needs
Assessment
We’ll get to know you and your real estate goals. Learning more about what you desire in a home and location, as well as your timing and budget, will help us help you. Our proven process combined with over 20 years of experience will give you an advantage. We know the market and understand housing inventory. We’ll help clarify options, explain what’s currently on the market and what we may anticipate coming to the market.
Step Three:
The Search
Once we understand what you’re looking for, we will use everything at our disposal to help you find it. Our cutting edge tools and technology will maximize your ability to track down the right home. Our proactive approach gives you a competitive advantage. We won’t just set and forget the searches—we’ll make suggestions of homes that may not “exactly fit” the search criteria or are coming soon to the market and could be a good fit with your lifestyle goals.
Step Four:
Viewing and
Selecting
We have a depth of resources to help you get out and see homes quickly. While viewing we bring everything to your attention (good or bad) so that you can have the benefit of professional prospective. It’s easy to be emotional when looking at homes and we can help you see both the realities and the possibilities so that you select the home that fits you best.
Step Five:
Counseling &
Negotiating
When you’re ready to make an offer, we’ll gather all the critical information: sales history, upgrades, sellers’ motivation, and comparable sales. As Certified Negotiation Experts, we know how to ask the right questions and obtain information that will help ensure a successful negotiation. We know to structure an offer to get the sellers attention and will make sure you are comfortable with all the terms that are meaningful to you.
Step Six:
Contract
Management
We make sure that every detail is attended to. After terms are negotiated, we manage the contract deadlines and contingencies to ensure we get you to the closing table. The process from contract to closing typically runs 45-60 days and we have systems in place to oversee and communicate all the major milestones including home inspection, attorneys review of the contract, the appraisal, and final loan approvals.
Step Seven:
Packing &
Moving
If you’re selling your home with us, at this point you may have done a good amount of packing in order to prepare the home for sale and if you’re a first time buyer, your items may need to be moved from your apartment, storage unit, or Mom and Dad’s place. We have packing, moving, and improvement resources to help as needed—including downsizing experts, senior moving specialists, local and cross country movers, and a host of trusted painters, handy people, and renovation specialists.
