Working with a realtor isn’t just about finding the perfect property, it’s about ensuring you make a sound financial decision.

Here’s three ways I ensure my buyers don’t overpay for their homes!

I Research Comparable Sales

Considering similar homes in the same neighborhood helps give you a better idea of the fair market value of the home you want to buy.

I Negotiate The Terms

The sale price, escrow, and closing costs are all negotiable. My job is to negotiate these terms, to ensure you get the best possible price.

I Utilize Appraisals

An appraisal will help determine the fair market value of the property. If you’re financing, the lender will want this anyway.

Don’t let the excitement of homebuying cloud your judgment. I’m here to make sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck.

Weigh the pros and cons with me!

Renting 

•Your money from each payment is just… gone.

•You can’t make any changes to the property.

•Your Rent can increase with every lease renewal.

•And you’re basically paying a mortgage, but it’s not your own.

Owning

•Each payment builds your wealth and equity.

•You have the freedom to renovate (hello dream kitchen).

•Your monthly mortgage payment stays the same.

•You’re paying down your own mortgage.

If you’ve ever wondered “what’s the difference?” then let’s connect, and get you into a home of your own! Schedule your strategy call today.

With affordability being a big concern right now, it’s part of my job to educate you on home buying costs.

When buying your home pay attention to the factors that have a higher impact on your daily life and long term investment.

I guide all my buyers to ignore “this” and pay attention to “that”.

Ignore This

• Seller’s Style / Decor

• Clutter / Messiness

• Poor Landscaping 

• And Oddly Used Rooms

Pay Attention Here

• The Location / Neighborhood

• Your Budget / Monthly Costs

• Your ‘Must Have’ List

• Condition of Major Systems

The seller’s style, landscaping, or odd room usage are typically easy and inexpensive to change compared to aspects like location and budget.

Two big misconceptions my buyers have when purchasing their first home are…

That you need 20% down to buy a home.

That you need perfect credit to buy a home.

In reality… You just need dedication from a great agent, backed by a team of experts!

If this is you, let’s connect. Schedule your strategy call today.

Before purchasing a home, it’s important to have it inspected for any defects or issues that could potentially cost you money down the line. 

Here’s two simple tips on how to find out if there are defects in a home you want to buy:

1. Hire A Licensed Home Inspector

A licensed home inspector can conduct a thorough inspection of the property and identify any issues or defects that need to be addressed. (more on this later)

2. Ask The Seller For Disclosures

The seller is required to disclose any known issues or defects with the property, so ask for a complete list of disclosures before making an offer!

Remember, identifying any defects or issues with a home before you make an offer can save you money and headaches down the line, so it’s important to conduct a thorough home inspection and do your due diligence before making a purchase.
