The Home Shopping Process

As your real estate agent, my most important job is to make the home shopping process pleasant and rewarding for you.

I do that in a number of ways.

I regularly recommend properties for viewing that closely match your needs and wants, and are within your price range. That spares you the frustration of visiting homes that aren’t suitable.

I make sure you don’t miss opportunities. When a desirable property suddenly comes on the market, you’re alerted.

I help you schedule viewings that fit your schedule, so there’s little if any inconvenience for you.

Before you view a property, I provide you with in-depth details on the home, so you can make an informed decision. This includes closing dates, market value, and more. Later, if you have questions, I get the answers for you.

I also give you the scoop on the neighborhood, so you get a clear sense of what an area is like in terms of lifestyle, safety, schools, etc.

When you find a property you like, I give you my honest, professional recommendation as to how well the home meets your needs and wants. You won’t have to make such an important decision without my expert advice.

As your real estate agent, I’m committed to getting you into the right home, and I’m with you every step of the way.

What to Look for when Viewing a Property

Tips for a More Productive Home Search

Here are a few helpful questions and ideas to consider when viewing homes to make the process smoother and more productive:

• Does the home meet your “needs”?
  Think of the essentials—number of bedrooms, closet space, kitchen layout, etc.

• Does it include any of your “wants”?
  These are nice-to-have features you’d love, but could live without—like a big backyard, open floor plan, or a finished basement.

• What’s the overall condition of the home?
  Look for signs of regular maintenance and care. Are there any red flags?

• Are major repairs or updates needed?
  Will the roof, A/C, or appliances need replacing soon? Is remodeling required to meet your needs?

• What do you love about the home?
  Take note of what stands out in a positive way.

• Anything you don’t like?Can those aspects be improved with updates or renovations?

• • Check out the neighborhood.
    Are the homes well-kept? Is there a sense of pride in ownership?

  • Is the location right for you?
    Think about proximity to schools, parks, shopping, public transportation, and other lifestyle factors.
