Buying a home can be an emotional experience. For most people, it is their largest investment. We help you from start to long after the closing. Most people are only involved in a few real estate transactions in their lifetime. Real estate is our business and we work in it (and learn more) every day.
In addition to helping you find the right home, we help you negotiate an offer, make sense all of the paperwork (contracts, CC&Rs, disclosures, title searches, loan documents, etc.), understand inspections and appraisals, prepare requests for repairs, and coordinate with the more than 14 parties involved in a typical real estate transaction.
New Construction
Why is it so important to take a REALTOR® on your first visit to a model home?
The agents at model homes represent the seller. If you want the representation you are entitled to, they require your agent is with you at the first visit. There typically are no exceptions to this requirement.
You generally do NOT receive a discount on the price because the builder would then be enticing you to purchase without representation. The builder will simply make more money. Even if you do not fill out any registration forms, they can still refuse to cooperate with your agent when you come back. The compensation for a buyer's agent is already figured into the price of the home. A builder cannot deny you representation, but they can refuse to pay your agent if they are not with you on the first visit. Since you are paying for it, be sure to make sure your interests are represented.
We help you through the entire process - through contract writing, design center visits, walk-thrus and closing.
Resale
If you are looking for a resale home, we can help you find the right one. As with new construction, the choices and paperwork can be overwhelming. On average, there are over 25,000 active residential listings in the Valley. While the Internet is a great source of information, there is so much information available, and it is not always current or accurate. We can help you sort through the available inventory to help you find a home that meets your criteria and then help you negotiate the best price.
