With the recent NAR settlement, we've changed the way we work with buyers. We love the transparency that this settlement has brought and are creating more options for buyers. Rather than a commission, we offer a suite of services that you can choose from depending on your needs! Reach out if you have questions!
We offer deep insights into the local real estate market, including pricing trends, neighborhood analysis, and the availability of exclusive properties (not yet listed) that meet the your criteria. We ensure you find a home in a low inventory market, make informed decisions, ensure you get the best value!
Key questions we help you answer:
Is the price of this home fair based on current market conditions? We analyze comparable home sales, neighborhood trends, and the overall market to determine if a home’s listed price is reasonable, ensuring buyers don't overpay.
What are the best areas to live in that meet my specific needs? We help identify neighborhoods that not only suit the buyer's budget but also match their lifestyle preferences, such as proximity to good schools, work, amenities, and potential for property value appreciation.
Can you prescreen the homes? So that you don't waste your time, we will vet and prescreen homes for you and only make appointments for the homes that fit your needs.
One most critical aspects of buying a home is negotiating the best possible price and terms. Often this involves advocating on your behalf during negotiations with sellers and their agents, handling counteroffers, and guiding you through concessions and contingencies.
Key questions we help you to answer:
How much should I offer for this house, and what terms should I include to make my offer competitive? We advise on crafting an offer that balances attractiveness to the seller with protection for the buyer, including advice on contingencies (like home inspections) that should be included.
How do we handle counteroffers or requests for concessions from the seller? We navigate the negotiation process, helping buyers understand when to stand firm, when to compromise, and how to secure the best possible deal.
What should we do about problems found during the home inspection? We help decide which repair issues to negotiate with the seller, guiding whether to ask for fixes, a price drop, or both, aiming for a fair resolution.
We focus on ensuring all due diligence is thoroughly conducted and supporting the buyer through the final steps of the purchasing process. We assist in reviewing all necessary documents, ensuring compliance with local laws & regulations, and facilitating the closing process.
Key questions we help you to answer:
What due diligence checks are necessary before finalizing the purchase? We guide buyers on essential due diligence steps, like verifying the property's title is clear of liens, ensuring compliance with local zoning laws, and understanding any homeowner association (HOA) rules or fees.
How do we navigate any issues that arise from the due diligence review? If issues like title discrepancies or zoning violations are discovered, we advise on the best course of action, whether it's negotiating a resolution with the seller, proceeding with the purchase, or walking away.
What do I need to prepare for the closing day? We help prepare buyers for the closing process, including what documents to sign and what payments are due.
