Buyers need Representation

Jane is a Accredited Buyer's Representative.

Renters,

Ask Jane about the rent accumlation chart. You are already paying a mortgage, your landlord's. Buying a home is the best investment anyone can make.

 Buyers, you want to use a Realtor®. Representation, it is a free service! The seller pays for a Realtor® to bring a ready, willing and able buyer - to get to the closing table and to close.

There are two sides to a real estate transaction. The Listing Agent/Realtor® and the Selling Agent - the buyer's Realtor®.   You want to make sure that you have representation and know who is representing you.  

Buyers you need to know the steps to find the house, negotiate the offer and take the proper steps in the proper order to get to closing.

1st Step 

Get Pre-Approval in Writing

 Call or visit at least 3 different mortgage companies and find out who will give you the best rates and who you will be the most comfortable working with.

There are over 200 different types of mortgage loans, you'll need to do some research with the mortgage broker to find out which loan will work best for you.

Paying Cash? Show me the money! You'll need a letter from your bank stating that you have the available funds.

2nd Step

The home search. Jane can email you detail listings of homes in your price range.

Pick out the homes that you want to view and/or drive by the homes at your convenience.

Call Jane to set up an appointment to view any of the homes that you are interested in viewing. 

3rd Step

Make an Offer

An Offer is just an Offer. An Accepted Offer is a Ratified Accepted Contract.

4th Step

The accepted Offer

The normal contingencies are financing and home inspections. Other contingenies may apply at the buyer's or seller's requests.

The buyer is on their way to closing.

Closing Day

And they live happily ever after, until they decide they need to relocate, buy a bigger home or downsize. And then they give Jane a call and she guides them through the entire process.

According to the NAR (National Association of Realtors®) Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, released Nov. 13, 2007

"84 percent of recent home buyers used the Internet in their search, up from 80 percent in 2006. Most of these buyers - 82 percent - used a real estate agent to help them complete the purchase."

 

"We know from our research that, rather than displacing real estate professionals, the Internet is actually helping connect them with home buyers."

 "The most effective path to today's buyers and sellers is often through their modems. Realtors® advance technology serve their clients and make the real estate transaction more efficient for all consumers."

 "If you are thinking about buying a home, but you're unsure about the timing, there are some things that your REALTOR® wants you to know. Today's current real estate market conditions - low rates and an abundant inventory - are offering buyers once-in-a-lifetime opportunities."

 "Every market's different, call a REALTOR® today."
