My Services for Home Buyers:

  • Exclusive representation - I promote and protect only your interests throughout the transaction.  I represent you, not the seller.  Unlike some agents, I never do dual-agency (represent both the buyer & seller in the same transaction).
  • Buyer Education - I will review and educate you on the entire buying process right from the start so you know what to expect every step of the way.
  • Financial Counseling - I have resources to help you navigate the maze of loan programs available to today's buyer to find the one that best meets your needs.
  • Needs and Wants - I will work with you to prioritize your specific needs and wants in a new home, including location, price, and amenities.
  • Property Identification - I will identify properties in both area MLS systems which meet your criteria and counsel you on their specific advantages or drawbacks.  Furthermore, I will set up email alerts which notify you immediately when new properties meeting your criteria come on the market.
  • Appointments and Showings - I will work with other realtors and/or owners to set up showing appointments and I will accompany you to visit the properties selected.
  • Disclosure Review - I will review the seller's property disclosures with you in detail. 
  • Negotiation Strategy - I will prepare a complete market analysis to enable you to see how much money similar homes have sold for in the recent past.  I will make recommendations on a negotiation strategy for you.
  • Contract Preparation - I will assist you in structuring an offer and prepare all the necessary paperwork.
  • Negotiation - Working with you and the seller's representative, I will negotiate the terms of the offer in your best interests until it is acceptable to both parties.
  • Third Party Providers - I will make recommendations for attorneys, home inspectors, tradesmen, and the other third party providers that you will need.
  • Home Inspection - I will accompany you at the home inspection and will ensure that your attorney is aware of any issues uncovered.
  • Pre-Close Activities - I will work with both attorneys, your lender, and the seller's representatives to resolve all of the issues which will arise between offer acceptance and closing.
  • Final Walkthrough - I will accompany you during the final walkthrough and will counsel you on some of the items you should be looking for at that time.
  • Closing - I will counsel you as to what you should expect at the closing table and I will accompany you at your closing.
  • Post Closing - I can make recommendations as to vendors you might need after closing on your new home (movers, painters, etc).
