ARE YOU READY FOR HOME OWNERSHIP?

My real estate team is dedicated to helping you find the right home, at the best price. We want you to find the home that will make you happy and successful in real estate ownership.

When you hire me to help you buy your first home, we will discuss what you want and how much you can afford. Then we'll find a home that will meet your needs and budget.

When visiting a home, your objectives come first. Keep a list handy of the features that you need and want in a home, and judge each home by the list instead of by details that could distract you from your goal. When you're alone with your agent, you can go over the pros and cons of each home. We can help you stay on track while still keeping our eyes out for a great property.

I can recommend several lawyers in the area who might be a good fit for you. Interview them to ensure that you get someone you can work with. The legalities of transferring land ownership can be hard to navigate, and a lawyer can be your best defense against future legal troubles. A good lawyer can charge several hundred to over a thousand dollars for their services, but the thousands of dollars saved in legal fees later on makes this a good expense.

This can be an overwhelming process of "buyer", "seller", "chattels", "deposit", and "completion". We are here to prepare the paperwork and walk through it step by step before submitting. There are three possible outcomes once we submit the offer, the seller may reject, counter your offer, or accept your offer.

A home inspector will check for signs of harmful materials like asbestos, lead paint and mold. They'll also check for evidence of pests, faulty wiring and leaks. This is a crucial part of the home purchase. Not getting an inspection done means that you could be stuck in a home with a bad case of black mold and no recourse other than to pay for its removal. Inspections will cost a few hundred dollars, but again, this is more than worth it in the end. There are several inspectors in the area that we'd be happy to recommend.

Before closing the deal, we will do a final walkthrough together. I'm happy to do this with you to make sure that everything agreed upon is completed prior to the final signing.
