We offer single agency and transaction agency, according to your preference. When buyers need sources for mortgage lending, insurance, home inspectors, legal counsel and more, they can take advantage of the extensive database of professionals we’ve developed over the past 40 years.
IT IS OUR PRACTICE TO:
- Provide information on communities, schools, commutes and amenities to highlight desirable neighborhoods.
- Preview homes whenever possible and qualify them according to our customer’s preferences.
- Prepare a competitive market analysis for each home that our customer is seriously considering.
- Use our negotiation skills to achieve the best price, terms and conditions.
- Exercise due diligence and disclosure to help you make an informed buying decision. We explain purchase costs and expenses, insist on a home inspection, suggest an array of financial options, offer sources for neighborhood, school and crime statistics.
- Manage the steps to closing that include scheduling various inspections and the appraisal, working with the lender and handling any pre-closing problems.
- Follow up after the closing — and beyond. In fact, we’re always here as your ready resource.
We can even handle a long distance closing when you cannot attend in person. Just one more way we can help!
