STEPS TO BUYING A HOME
The Central Valley is one of the most desirable and competitive real estate markets, and I understand that making the decision to buy a home here can be a particularly overwhelming experience. From mastering the home search to planning for closing costs, there’s a lot to learn.
​
That’s why I created a step-by-step guide to set you on the right course to owning the perfect home!
STEP 1:
PREPARATION
I will sit down with you for a buyer consultation in order to walk you through the purchase process and timeline, local market conditions, and many other important purchase-related issues in order for you to feel comfortable about the road ahead. We also spend a lot of time listening to your ideal criteria for your next home. After this meeting, we enter all of your criteria into a custom Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in order for you to receive properties that fit your needs well in real-time.
STEP 2:
FINDING YOUR HOME
I'll take you out “shopping” and view homes on the market for sale. For some, this is their favorite part. Looking at properties is more than just determining which ones you like and don’t like. For many, it helps them actually determine what it is they are looking for in a home. It also helps us understand what you respond positively to in order for us to help find you the best properties going forward. When we look at properties together, we are often able to give you valuable insight into the homes in real-time, advising on things such as the value, mechanical-related aspects of the home, as well as resale issues to avoid that you might not have considered.
STEP 3:
MAKING AN OFFER
Once you identify a property you’d like to buy, we assist in verifying the home’s value, offer strategy and paperwork, and negotiation. It’s my job to get you your home with the best price and terms possible. I have help all my clients craft a winning offer. To download our free guide to getting your offer accepted click here.
STEP 4:
THE TRANSACTION
I will manage the transaction so that things run smoothly. I work proactively to prevent issues before they arise, ensure your deposits are always protected, and keep you informed every step of the way. Throughout the process, I make sure you have the best team to assist you by providing top-notch referrals for lenders, home inspectors, attorneys, and more.
​
After you’ve purchased your home, we will stay in touch and are always available. Whether you’d like advice on home improvements and their affect on resale value, or need a referral for a good contractor, we’re here to help. The best place to start is by calling me, or registering for a home buyer consultation.
