The search for your home.

Together we will write a client profile to get specific information on the type of home in which you envision yourself in the near future. I will set up a “Custom Search,” so that every day a new house comes on the market, I can e-mail you or call you with that information.
Please Remember: There will be days when no houses are listed that match the home you are looking for. In that case, I will keep looking for you and searching on caravan days until another one becomes available.

If you see a home you like during this search, please call me right away. I will make an appointment as soon as possible for you to view that home. Pre-approved buyers have the advantage in a competitive market, so please be sure to call one of the loan officers on the Buyer's Corner page of my website as soon as possible.

My Commitment

As a Realtor, I am paid by commission only. My commitment to you is to show you homes that meet your parameters and lifestyle. I will be working every single day to watch the market for opportunities that may arise in your favor. After all, it is not just a home you are purchasing, it is also an investment in your future. I honestly don’t care if it takes us 3 days, 3 months or 3 years to find that home…I will stay committed to serving you. So PLEASE never feel like you are asking too much of me…I love opportunities to get out of the office, and showing properties is fun!

Client Relationship

In return, I only ask that you are equally loyal in your commitment to me in looking for your dream home or property together. My relationship with my clients does not end when I find them a home. Please ask me about my “After Care Program” to help with the issues of being a new homeowner with referrals and important information you may need from time to time. Does this make sense to you?

Open Houses: If you happen to go to an open house in our area, please inform the agent present that you are working with me as your Realtor. If you are interested in that home, please call me immediately so I can research information on that property and write an offer for you, in addition to informing you of special circumstances that may be attached to that property.

Multiple Offers: In a multiple offer market, it is important that I negotiate the best deal possible, in order to have the best opportunity at successfully starting the escrow process for you. While in escrow, we will be working together and communicating closely to make sure we meet all timelines…inspections, loan approvals, sale of your home (if you own one presently) and bring escrow to a successful conclusion. I will be your partner in this process taking you through it one step at a time, hopefully alleviating some of your anxiety.

Congratulations!

We have now successfully closed escrow and we have a moving date. I will help you transition into your new house by accompanying you to inspect the property within 5 days before your close of escrow to make sure the property is clean and presentable for your move-in date. I will ask the present owners to work with you to keep the electricity and heat on in the house so you can have a smooth and warm transition into your new home.

After Move-in

Once you are settled into your new home, I will continue to send you valuable information monthly, and I will meet with you, if you wish, to show you how to pay down your mortgage faster and build equity in your home. Your home is the greatest investment you can have, and I want you to be my client for all your future real estate needs and referrals.

Your Referral to Your Friends & Family

If you know of someone who would appreciate my services, please call me with their name and number and I will be happy to help them. The highest compliment my clients can pay me is to feel confident in referring me to their friends and family.
