image

As your real estate professional, I will be able to show you any home that is available regardless of who the listing broker is. I will be more than happy to accompany you to any open house, new construction or available listing of your choice at a time of your choice, and must do so if I am to be your representative throughout the transaction.

I will save you endless hours of frustration by acting as a clearing house for all available properties in your market area. I will provide you with all the latest and possible financial alternatives, information on taxes, insurance, down payment and closing costs.

In addition, I will introduce you to new communities and neighborhoods if you choose, providing information on schools, shopping centers, recreational facilities and houses of worship.

Important Points To Remember:

  • Excellent buys are often made on homes that require a little paint and soap. Two identical homes can be priced very differently apart when one needs only a minimal amount of work.
  • Work closely with me, I can pre-screen homes that you see advertised and save you endless hours of work.
  • Your parents, family or friends can contribute to the purchase of your home by way of a "Gift Note. Ask me for details about this simple procedure.
  • Each contract offer that you make on a home must be accompanied by a deposit in the form of cash or check.
  • if you are serious about buying a particular home it is important to price your offer correctly. You don't want to lose the home to a better offer.
  • When your contract offer is presented to the seller he can accept it, or make a counter offer. Only when the seller accepts your offer and you accept his do you have a binding contract for sale.
