Preparing To Buy

In this sellers' market, there is a winning strategy to help you walk away the winning bidder.

The Importance of a Buyer's Consultation

In today's competitive sellers' market, buyers must put their best foot forward when placing an offer. While price is certainly an important factor in one's offer, it is just that, a factor. In order to be successful, buyers must work with a real estate consultant who takes into account all of the factors involved in successful bidding. To that end, I meet with buyers and offer them a free consultation at the beginning of the home buying process. This consultation is crucial in understanding all of the factors of successful home buying:

• Choosing a lender.

• Understanding what you can afford (PITI) & closing costs.
  
  
• The pre-approval process.
  
  
• The successful search.
  
  
• Preparing a buyer's packet...a must.
  
  
• Writing the winning offer.
  
  
• Counteroffers, relative bids.
  
  
• The contingencies.
  
  
• Exchanges.
  
  
• Timing the selling of your current home.
  
  
• Navigating inspections.
  
  
• Negotiating when issues arise.
  
  
• Choosing an escrow company.
  
  
• Choosing a home insurance company.
  
  
• Closing.
  
  
• Possession

Buyer consultations can be arranged via email at Free Buyer's Consultation or via phone at 510.452.6126.
