OUR JOB IS TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THE HOME BUYING PROCESS WITH CONFIDENCE AND CARE.
Before heading out to even view homes, determining your financial parameters will help you better understand what you can and cannot afford.
That will also help you narrow down your choices and focus you on paying more for what you value. Part of the buying process is determining what’s most important and less important to how you invest your money into real estate.
- House hunting is probably the part of the process you’ll have the most fun. While you pay attention to what matters most to you in a home, an experienced agent by your side will be focused on pointing out challenges or defects in the home to make sure you are aware of them. The agent will also review disclosures and address those on-site if possible.
Each property in California has significant disclosure requirements. Disclosures can be extensive along with detailed property reports leaving buyers feeling overwhelmed, anxious and clueless as to how to proceed.
Reviewing disclosures in depth and understanding what it would take to address the issues brought to light in the disclosures is crucial before deciding to proceed to write a contract. Knowing which inspections and trusted inspectors can help reveal the condition of the property.
The negotiation with the listing agent begins right when a buyer shows interest. Leveraging good agent to agent relationships can make the difference for the buyers winning in a multiple offer situation.
Negotiation is understanding what its going to take to win compared to other buyers and what will appeal to the sellers to choose you as their lucky buyers. Sometimes it can be a great savings below offer situation as well.
Getting to the close of escrow seems so close but so far. There are many different people involved in the escrow including mortgage brokers and lenders, escrow and title officers, inspectors, agents and appraisers.
Juggling each one’s role, access to property and helping everyone get their part done is essential.
Congratulations you made it to the finish line with keys in hand!
