Buying Process

Step 1 - Search for Properties

We have developed the easiest, fastest and most complete method for buyers to find their new home, condo, loft or townhome. Simply, let us know what type of property, area, price range, etc. you are looking for and we will e-mail current active listings that meet your requirements. Virtually, all listings from all brokers are available for us to view thru the MLS. Rest assured you will be able to select from all properties to schedule showings. Simply select which properties you want to look at and we will setup the showings. Contact us if you want us to email you a list of available properties that meet your criteria.

Step 2 - Review Financing

Before we setup showings we can have a lender contact you about current available financing options and to get you pre-approved for free. Contact us for a free financing approval or any questions.

Step 3 - Buyer Representation

Keep in mind our agent will show homes and represent you for any transaction. For virtually all transactions the buyer does not pay the commission. The buyer's agent is compensated by the seller’s broker who pays the buyer's agent broker only upon a successful closing. Don’t be afraid of the buyer's representation agreement. We allow our buyer's the option to cancel the buyer representation agreement prior to any accepted purchase agreement. Contact us for any questions.

Step 4 - View Homes and Make a Contingent Offer

This is where the fun begins! We’ll schedule showings and view properties that meet your criteria. Don’t be surprised if you find a home you like the first time out. Most people find a home, and they make an offer on the first day. In actuality, you have reviewed 100’s of homes. You have searched the internet, view many homes on line, narrowed your criteria list and scheduled to view the best of the best. How can the best home for you not be on your first day of looking? Once you have selected the best home for you, we then submit an offer. Don’t be nervous. We will put contingencies in the offer so if you discover something you do not like we can cancel the purchase agreement. Some of the most common contingencies are as follows: your financing, your inspectors report, your review and accepting association documents, etc.

After your offer is accepted, we then work to remove all contingencies, finalize financing, etc. You will then hire an inspector to inspect your home for any problems. We may make a few offers, and then one will get accepted and we'll proceed to closing in 30-60 days. Throughout the process we are there to assist you with such things as title insurance, appraisals, inspections, surveys, property taxes, financing, etc. We do everything in our power to get you into your dream property as smoothly as possible.
