My listening skills assure your needs will be met. I facilitate a systematic and time saving approach to purchasing a property. My knowledge of the market directs you to the best homes in the best neighborhoods in your price range. My negotiation skills help you get what you want for the price you want to pay. My attention to detail in writing your purchase agreement presents you in the best possible way for winning your offer. The team of professionals I bring to your transaction from escrow office to home inspector assures you will have all the information you need to make an informed decision.  

As your agent I am committed to provide you with the best possible service. In doing so I will:

Meet with you for a buyers interview to confirm your specific needs, plans, priorities, and timeline for buying a home.  You will get a chance to tell me about the important things you want in a property you are buying and also to ask questions about the buying process.

Help prepare you for home purchase by connecting you with a qualified mortgage broker if you don't already have one to get you pre-approved for buying the home of your dreams.

I will take you on the "grand tour" where I will show you houses in your price range in all the best possible neighborhoods. We will rule out the neighborhoods you are not interested in and focus on the ones you are to find you a home.

I will continue to search for property daily and get you out early to see new homes that come on the market before others have a chance to see them.

For the homes you like I will get you the information you need regarding disclosures, offer dates, and comparable sales to make a decision as to whether you want to move forward to make an offer on that property.

I will always keep your interests in mind and advice you according to your particular circumstances as we approach the purchase of any property.

I will keep track of time lines and deadlines to make sure we do things in a timely manner to put you in the best possible negotiating position as a buyer.

I will advise you in writing the purchase agreement and then proceed with your wishes in making the offer you want to make. I will use every situation as an opportunity to provide you with more education and information as to the market and the process of buying a home so you can feel empowered as a knowledgeable home buyer.

I will present you and your offer to the seller/and or sellers agent to make sure everything is clear and to put you in the best possible light as a buyer for that particular property.

I will negotiate for you in the offer and counter offer process to get you the house for the best possible price and terms.  I will help you win and get what you want.

When you have a "ratified contract" I will then open escrow on your behalf and schedule inspections with qualified professionals to make sure you get all the information you need on the property to feel comfortable moving forward.  I will advise you along the way and when questions come up that are outside of my experience I will make sure that you get qualified professional input from other sources.  I will negotiate for you on any repairs or credits that you deem necessary for continuing with the purchase.

I will also put you in touch with my excrow coordinator who will make sure we have everything necessary for your file and that all the paperwork is signed and that you have copies of everything. 

I will continue to oversee the transaction to make sure that all the players are working together, ie lender, title officer, seller, selling agent, insurance professionals, . . . so that you can be assured of a smooth transaction. After all,  you have to be worried about moving all your belongings.  I will make sure the lender is on top of the loan documents being prepared, sent to the title company, and I will schedule an appointment for you to sign.  

If there is work you'd like to arrange to do before you move in to your property I will give you referrals to professionals who can give you bids on repairs or improvements you wish to make, arrange for access to the house for those professionals to meet with you there, and advise you along the way as to how those improvements will effect the worth of your asset.  I have an eye for decorating and that will come in handy to you all along the way of your home ownership both for your pleasure while you are there and return on your investment later on.  

I will be proactive in the purchase process by anticipating problems that might occur and creating plans to address them before they become a road block in the transaction.

Long after you get the keys to your new home, I will be there as a resource for any referrals you need for home resource people, questions that come up about home ownership, or maybe just information about a new cool restaurant in your neighborhood.
