Provide a step-by-step explanation about the home buying process – from beginning to end.  Together, we'll make sure you know all your rights and obligations as the home buyer.  If you have any questions, just ask!

Provide up-to-date Area Information.  I can help you  get to know the neighborhood, the amenities, schools, facilities, transportation, and more.  We can visit the area if possible and see your distance to work, school, etc., observe traffic, shopping, and services.

Advise you on current Market Conditions and help you get to know the market, the selling price of similar properties in the area, and more - that's my job. By having this information you will be in a position to negotiate the best price.

As your Realtor, I can help put you in touch with mortgage specialists and financial institutions, who can pre-Approve your mortgage.   This saves time and possible disappointment when you find the home you want.

Assist you in defining your ideal home, ideal location, and budget, so we'll be able to focus our home search.  I'll also make sure you're first to know about new listings as soon as they come on the market with my Free Home Finder Service.

Once you know how much you want to invest and what kind of home you need, we'll start our search for properties that fit your needs.  I have many resources to help you conduct a thorough search.

Schedule and coordinate all home viewings with selling Realtors, to prevent scheduling problems and save you time.  I'll also follow up to answer any questions you may have about each property.

Advise you as you make that final selection - an exciting and emotional decision.  I'll give you objective information about each property and the area in which it is located. Together, we'll answer two very important questions objectively: Will the property meet all of your needs in a home? Will it be a good investment that will make money when you're ready to sell the property?  Together, we'll make sure your offer is based on market value, not asking price.

Represent you upon presentation of all offers; and assist and advise you through negotiations.

Follow up to ensure your first impression of the home is followed up by a good solid home inspection.  I've put together a list of some of the things a qualified home inspector would check.  I can also put you in touch with home renovators, movers, etc.

Advise and assist you in the structuring of the terms of the transaction. There are many details to be negotiated when you are buying a home - in addition to the price.  The contract must also cover financing, terms, date of possession, plus whether the sale includes or excludes repairs, furnishings, fixtures, etc.  While it can be confusing, I'll make the negotiations as straightforward and smooth as possible.

Ensure that all legal documents, forms, contracts, etc. are completed, signed, and filed in a proper and timely fashion.

Close the deal in a professional manner and follow up, keeping you informed on all closing procedures until the keys are in your hand.
