Home Buyer's Guide

• We never represent any home seller or builder or developer against you our buyer in purchasing real estate (a condo, townhouse, or 1 family house). We represent only you as your exclusive buyer agent.

• We won't try to "sell" you any property or town.  

  

• We help you "buy" the condo, townhouse, or one - four family house you want at the lowest price, and best terms and conditions we can negotiate for you.

• We specialize in working exclusively ("only") for you as your buyer agent every step of the way in your real estate transaction from:   

  • the initial buyer information and counseling session (including advice regarding your financial pre-qualification and pre-approval),

  • searching, screening and finding the right property,

  • giving an unbiased assessment of the pros and cons of any property you are interested in purchasing,

  • providing a professional opinion of the value of the property you choose - before you offer on it,

  • working for the best deal for you in the offer and contract negotiations with the Seller and their agent,

  • helping with the details following an offer's acceptance including mortgage and home insurance, choice of a reputable house inspector, property inspections, and any re-negotiations,

  • and, finally assisting in the final walkthrough inspection and the closing on your new house.
