BUYER SERVICES
When buying a home, whether you are a seasoned buyer or it is your first time, the process remains the same. It can be overwhelming and stressful or exciting and fun. Working with a knowledgeable real estate agent will help to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. Our home buying services include the following:
Meet your Agent
Our experienced team of real estate agents is ready to assist you with every step. It is important to work with someone you feel comfortable and confident with. We will take the time to understand your needs, preferences, and budget to ensure a personalized experience.
Budget and Financing
Securing a mortgage is an essential part of buying a home. We can connect you with trusted mortgage lenders who will help you get pre-approved for a loan. This pre-approval will give you a clear idea of your budget and strengthen your position as a serious buyer.
Finding Your Dream Home
With your budget and pre-approval in hand, we will work closely with you to identify properties that meet your criteria. We will arrange showings, provide detailed information about each property, and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident in your choice prior to making an offer.
Making an Offer
Once you find the house, we will help you prepare a strong offer. We will guide you in determining a competitive price and assist with any contingencies you wish to include, such as inspections or repairs requests. We will draft all documents, review them with you in detail, and finalize signatures in person or electronically. Your offer will be presented to the seller promptly and professionally.
Skillful Negotiations
Negotiations are an essential part of the home buying process. We will negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible terms. We will keep you informed throughout the process and work towards a mutually beneficial agreement between you and the seller.
Due Diligence and Inspections
After your offer is accepted, we will help you coordinate inspections based on the elections in your offer. Our office has a list of reputable inspectors we can recommend, or you may research and select your own. We will review the inspection reports with you and negotiate any necessary repairs or concessions.
Financing and Title Insurance
While inspections are underway, you will formally apply for your mortgage and order an appraisal. We will work closely with your lender, ensuring all necessary documents are provided in a timely manner. We will also work with you to order Title Insurance to ensure the property is free of any liens, encumbrances, or legal issues. Based on the search results, the title company will issue a title insurance policy to protect your ownership rights.
Final Walkthrough
Before settlement, we recommend conducting a final walkthrough of the property to ensure it is in the agreed-upon condition. This allows you to verify that any repairs or concessions have been completed and that the house and property are in the same or better condition as before.
Settlement
We will coordinate with you, the title company, listing agent, and sellers to schedule your closing. This is usually held at the title company or real estate office of choice and typically lasts about an hour. This is when you will sign all loan documents, transfer title, and pay your down payment and closing costs. This is also a time for you to meet the seller, ask questions about the property, and get your keys!

"We really enjoyed working with Stacie and appreciated all of the hard work she put into helping us buy and sell our home. I trusted her completely throughout the entire process. She was always transparent and honest and gave great advice. I hope we are in our forever home, but I would not hesitate to work with Stacie again!" |
“I could not have asked for a better agent to guide me through the stressful process of buying a house. Natalie was professional, attentive, and proactive. She was able to use the areas that interested me to find great condos in the price range that I had given her. She was extremely friendly and always kept me in the loop during my search. I would give Natalie 5 out of 5 for her service and professionalism." |
