Steps in the Buying Process

10 steps to buying a home

Buying a home is one of the most significant purchases in a lifetime. It is essential to have an experienced broker in your corner, always looking out for your best interest. A buyer broker’s fiduciary responsibility is to represent the buyer and to ensure that they are protected.


After all, a seller has someone in their corner. A listing broker has an allegiance to the seller. Their goal is to get the seller top dollar for their home. There is incredible value in having someone working for YOUR best interests when buying a home.


GETTING YOU IN THE DOOR

We will narrow down the homes that fit your unique wants and needs and get you in the door! I look at dozens of homes every week, and I can help you identify potential problems within a home. When repairs or changes in price are needed, I will be your guide and will handle requesting any repairs or changes in price to the sellers.


STAYING ON TOP OF THE PAPERWORK

Buying a home involves many types of documentation. I have the experience and knowledge to navigate real estate contracts. Ensuring that nothing is overlooked, and that you truly understand what a purchase and sale agreement means before ever signing on the dotted line.


ON YOUR SIDE

A buyer’s broker will represent your best interests. With a pulse on the local market and a sound understanding of how various amenities effect the value of a home, we will make sure we submit a competitive offer on the right house for you.


NEIGHBORHOOD EXPERT

I work daily in neighborhoods with inspectors, contractors, and negotiating with sellers. I have the market knowledge you need to get you the home of your dreams at the best price! Understanding the local real estate market is essential when it comes time to make an offer on a house.


PROBLEM SOLVER

I will work hard to protect all of your interests and take on any issues that may arise throughout the entire process. I work tirelessly to make sure buying a home is a fun and stress-free process.


AFFORDABILITY

The seller typically pays the commission for both the seller’s broker and the buyer’s broker.


Overall, our buyer agent services aim to help buyers make informed decisions, save time and money, and navigate the complex process of buying a property.
