 I am a Certified Buyer Representative (CBR®) , specially trained to represent buyers. Many buyer agents have not taken the training that I have. Hire me and I will represent you as a buyer and look out for your best interests in the real estate transaction. So sign me up for your home buying team today!
We don't just work for sellers
You don't need an exclusive buyer agent that only works for buyers and has never worked with a seller client. You are better off with someone who works with both buyers and sellers and knows the whole picture. Since we have experience representing sellers as well as buyers we are better able to deal with other companies who represent sellers too. We are also happy to introduce our buyer clients to our own seller clients via disclosed dual agency. When we represent both sides we always treat buyers and sellers equally and fairly. We can also represent buyers who are looking outside our listings as exclusive buyer agents.
 We take the buying process as seriously as our buyers do, therefore we offer nothing but the highest quality of service to our clients. When you decide to purchase your home, make sure you hire someone whom you can trust and someone who wants to earn your business. Buying your home is one of the most important purchases you will make, so make sure you have the right agent who can provide you with the experience and the service you deserve.Understand the Sellers prospective
Since most Sellers have a real estate agent working for them you need to understand their prospective. When you understand current market conditions, you are better able to position yourself as a Seller. It helps to know if you are in a Seller's, Buyer's or Balanced market when setting your asking price. In a Buyer's market there is a lot more competition (other Sellers) and Buyers have plenty of choices and room to negotiate, forcing you to be very competitive when setting your price. Buyers actually are the ones who determine sale price under all market conditions. You as a Buyer must remember you are in competition with all other buyers out there in the market. Many buyers don't have a real estate agent who is working for them. You have the advantage with me on your buying team and my CBR® skills. Most Sellers will have someone working for them and helping them sell. Why not have someone working for you and helping you buy?
Here are some of the steps I will take to find your perfect home:
Determine Your Wants and Needs
This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions I will establish what you are looking for. My goal is to not waste your time by looking at properties that are not in your price range or homes that don't meet you needs. Throughout the buying process I will maintain your confidentiality and represent your best interests.
Help You Get Pre-Qualified
 This step will show you how much you can afford. This is accomplished by speaking with your financial institution, if you are working with one, and establishing what monthly payments you will be comfortable with. Don't worry if you have not been speaking with a financial institution. I am able to pre-qualify you as well and can offer you the brokerage services of Washington Mortgage Company and others.
Home Shopping
We will use every available method to locate a property that matches your search parameters. This will include properties listed with our office, offered through other real estate companies, as well as unlisted properties and FSBOs (For Sale By Owners). We will disclose all known facts about the property that are likely to affect your decision. When we find the home that meets your criteria, I will assist you in writing an offer and act as a liaison between you and the seller.
Negotiate and Win
When we find the right home for you, It's time to focus on getting that home! My main goal is to get you that home whatever it takes and go in for the kill. You can't win if you don't buy! In order to win we must feel good about the sale and in fact so should the seller. I will keep this explanation simple. I'm not going to reveal my secrets on how this will happen, but I hope to see everyone at the closing table with a smile on their face! |
