Buying a Home
|
Buying a home is an exciting adventure! It can also be a very time-consuming and costly one if you're not familiar with all aspects of the process, and don't have all the best information and resources at hand. We will start our partnership getting to know each other so I can learn how to best meet your needs. This appointment--whether in person, by telephone, or over the course of many emails--may last awhile. I will ask a lot of questions and listen closely to your answers. This conversation, along with every conversation, email, or meeting we ever have, will give me the information I need to make sure your home search is focused on what you are looking for, so we don't waste your valuable time looking at homes that are not appropriate. If you have not already done so, I will help you find a lender that will tailor a loan to fit your needs. Getting pre-qualified will lend weight to any offers made on your behalf and add valuable criteria to use in our home search. I will work closely with your lender throughout the purchase and escrow process to make sure there is a smooth transition from "home purchaser" to "home owner." I will recommend inspections when deemed necessary, schedule your inspections, make sure the reports get turned into the appropriate parties, schedule repairs (if needed), work with the selling agent, your lender, escrow officer and other professionals as required to keep the purchase moving forward. I will help you measure your rooms for furniture, recommend gardeners, property managers, insurance agents, places to stay while you're home shopping (if you are coming from out-of-town) and places to eat, and be assessable to you with your questions and concerns throughout the process. I enjoy the details in assisting my clients! If you're like most people, buying a home is the biggest investment you will ever make. Whether you're buying a starter home, your dream home or an investment property, why not take advantage of my experience as a local market expert for Crescent City, Smith River, Gasquet, Hiouchi and Klamath to make the most informed decisions you can, every step of the way? |
