I offer a locally unmatched combination of knowledge, integrity, digital & physical resources to help buyers with their purchases. Educated buyers make the best decisions, & client education is a significant focus of my business.
Here I get into some of the factors needed & some that I recommend for a home purchase, whether applicable for all buyers, or whether applicable for a limited # of buyers.
Examples sometimes include a down payment, a credit score, $ for closing costs & prepaids, & home inspection costs, but there are many exceptions.
Here I go over:
1. Offering Low or High
2. A Strong Offer
3. Repairs Visible Prior to Offer
4. Starting with a Verbal Offer
5. Counteroffers
6. Appraisals
7. Escalation Clauses
8. Letters to the Seller
9. Atypical Elements
10. Home Inspections
I review some of the factors involved with finding your home. It's typically best to put together one or more searches via MLS with an agent rather than exclusively relying on public websites. Doing that will give you access to details unavailable in public websites (i.e. photo captions and better flood zone features with many MLS), higher levels of accuracy, search features unavailable in websites, etc.
Often buyers neglect just how powerful MLS can be in searches for them, especially when detailed search templates are involved, which can take hours to create in some cases.
Here I recommend some linked resources from others as well as a number of resources that I'm providing.
A hot topic for buyers is mortgage interest rates. Here I share where they are, where we've come from, project where they're going, & share what buyers can do about it.
