The Benefits of Buying a Home with Us

There are a lot of services we offer to buyers and they all come at no cost to you. Today, I’ll explain everything we offer.


Today I wanted to give you a quick overview of the services we provide to homebuyers. Of course, these services come at no cost to the buyer.

We start with the consultation where we determine what’s important to you in your new home. Then, we help you determine some of your financing options from banks or credit unions. 

Once that budget is set, we’ll go to work to find your next property. We use the MLS for active listings, but there is so much more that we can resource. 

We look at listings that recently expired or canceled, and we can look to private listings (or ‘for sale by owner’) as well. We’ll also look at specific neighborhoods or complexes where sellers may want to sell to you.

Once we find that home, we conduct a market evaluation to make sure we’re paying the right price. Once we have this established, we’ll draft the offer. At that time, we work with various banks and inspectors to do our homework and make sure you’re comfortable and confident. That’s when we’ll actually issue a deposit. 

Once we find the right home, a market evaluation ensures we’re paying the right price.

When the conditions are removed and the deposit is set, you have a certain completion possession date. We then begin to work with all various professionals involved to make sure the transaction closes properly and on time. 

The includes the banks, the appraisers, the inspectors, the seller’s agent, the insurance agents, and anyone else involved to make sure it goes through properly.

Once you move in, we’ll follow up to make sure everything is going well after the sale and handle any issues that might arise. We want you to be a client for life!

If you have any other questions about the home buying process or the services we provide, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I’d be happy to help!
