Crossing
the threshold of your new home
for the first time is exciting. The process of finding that
home, negotiating the price and closing can be too, if:
- You establish priorities early
- You choose the right Realtor for you and
your family
Family.
Make sure, as a family, you discuss needs, such as location,
lifestyle, home size , yard, and neighborhood amenities.
Individuals.
Identify privacy and space needs of individual family members
too—keeping in mind that children’s space needs
change as they grow. Think about hobbies and interests.
You don’t want a high maintenance home, if you’re
at your beach house in Emerald Isle during summer weekends
and snow skiing at Sugar Mountain in winter.
Budget.
What can you really afford? With today’s financing
options, you may be able to afford more than you think.
On the other hand, you want to maintain a comfortable budget
going forward. It would be wise to consult a professional
mortgage lender to get pre-qualified before house shopping!
 Unique needs.
Is the home priced right? What tax issues will you be faced
with? Do you prefer new construction or a “Craftsman
charmer that needs TLC”? What is the quality of neighborhood
schools? How about community attitudes, events, and activities?
Choosing the right Realtor
for you
Buying a home is a personal endeavor.
I believe you will find me to be reliable, dependable and
professional.
- Listen between the lines.
- Work to protect your interests throughout
the transaction.
- Show you properties and neighborhoods
that meet your needs and requirements.
- Be honest. If you tell me you want to
live in a golf course community on an acre of property
in Cary for under $500,000, I will tell you we may need
to re-prioritize.
- Communicate with you in a timely and professional
manner.
- Help you bring an attractive offer to
the seller.
- Help coordinate the closing and inspections
- Do my utmost to make your home-buying
experience as hassle-free as possible.
