For Buyers
|
| We would like to thank you for helping us purchase our first home! Although it's been somewhat of an adventure initially, we love our new home! We want to thank you for being patient with us throughout the search and for educating us! We'll be sure to refer our friends to you! Thank you so much for all your work. Emmanuel & Sunghee Bote |
If you haven’t already contacted a loan officer, I can recommend a few.
After our initial conversation, I’ll conduct an MLS search covering all of the suburbs we talked about. In some cases, I’ll meet with you in person to present the listings to you; in other cases, I’ll e-mail the listings.
I believe it is beneficial for us to initially look at houses together so I can find out if the houses I selected are right on target or if there is some other characteristic that suddenly becomes important to you that wasn’t mentioned at first. During our time spent together looking at homes, we’ll discuss the many aspects of buying a home: offer, accepted contract, attorney approval, inspection and closing. I’ll explain my role in the transaction and how I will work with you right through the closing.
To save time, I am willing to preview homes or at least drive by to make sure there are no negatives with the location.
When you find a property you are thinking about making an offer on, I will provide you with
