Shopping For Property:
Time to Go Shopping-
Now that you’re prepared, it's time to go shopping for your new property. By now you should have a checklist of the qualities and features that you’re looking for in a property, which will keep you focused on properties that match. Since you had the foresight to seek pre-approval from your lender, your pre-approval letter lets you know exactly which properties you can afford.
Know Your Neighborhoods-
It’s a good idea to take a drive around some of the properties to familiarize yourself with the neighborhoods to see exactly what your money will buy. We are also happy to escort you on a guided tour of properties in your chosen neighborhoods, as it provides us the opportunity to understand your preferences.
Selecting Properties & Making Appointments-
Pick the few properties that embody your ideal qualities and instruct your real estate agent arrange viewings. We look at hundreds of properties each year, and can offer insight into each property’s features and strengths, and drawbacks. Typically we can provide printed fact sheets for each property, including pictures, to help you keep track of the properties you liked. We often serve as a sounding board to contrast your favorite properties.
Make an Offer-
Leverage our knowledge and experience when formulating your offering price; specifically in providing comps (what similar properties sold for) and assisting in writing an offer that is likely to be accepted. We also guide you in understanding the possible costs for any deferred maintenance and repairs prior to making an offer. We are also comfortable making recommendations for a title insurance company and an escrow company to help make the purchase process go even smoother. We also make sure that the proper safeguards for your purchase offer are in place, covering issues like loan contingencies and physical inspection contingencies.
Purchasing a property is an emotional, potentially stressful situation, so it very important to have your trusted Real Estate professional watching over your interests during your interactions with the seller.
