Buyer Resources...

Communication skills are a critical factor in selecting a professional Realtor. They should mostly listen and ask a few key questions.  As you interview Realtors to represent you, are they offering to just set up showings based on your criteria, a 2 bedroom /2 bath home or do they tell you to call them when you come to town in a couple weeks/months?  

It is important to remember that good communication works both ways. You need to be open and honest about your financial situation and expectations.  We promise to keep your confidence and never share anything you tell us with anyone else--ever.

Certain condos preclude buyers from getting conventional financing for one reason or another. Other situations require as much as 30-40% to obtain an approved loan. If you are a first time home buyer and can only get 5% down for a home, be direct.  

With full disclosure, it is possible to find solutions to most situations. 

 Just some of the conversation starters to better serve you. 

1. Are you, your spouse, or partner going to be commuting?  To what part of town?

2. Do you have children?  If so, are they school age?  

3. Is it important to be able to walk or bike ride to restaurants and shops? 

4. Preference, new construction, modern/contemporary, smaller/larger building? 

5. Importance of a water view? 

6. How much space do you need?  Closet space? 

7. What amenities are important to you? 

8. Tennis/Golf/Biking?

9. Do you have pets?  

10. Is the kitchen important to you? Do you cook? 

11. Do you want move-in condition or would you consider a home that needs some TLC?

12. Will this be a cash purchase? If not, are you approved for a mortgage? Are your customers raving about you on social media? Share their great stories to help turn potential customers into loyal ones.

Purchasing a home or investment is all about your needs, wants and budget. 

We are not in a hurry, we are here for the long haul and if it takes you three months or three years, we will still be by your side.

We are here to work for you, on your terms and schedule.  We  work full time in real estate.  This is our passion and profession.  We answer your call day and night. 

We work one on one with you throughout the entire process.  After the initial call or first showings, you will not get handed off to another agent.  

We tell the truth and show the pro's and con's of each property. We give you the "scoop" on a property, why it has not sold, whether or not it backs up to a cemetery or if the street floods every time it rains.  We know about the potential pitfalls with condos, just as we are familiar with septic tanks in single family homes.
