Choosing a Neighborhood…

|
|
|
~ Schools
~ Property Values
~ Traffic Volume
~ Future Development
~ Proximity to Hospitals, Employment, Public Transportation,
Shopping, Parks, Cultural Activities and Schools.
~ Your Preferences |

| Choosing a Home… |
|
|
| Your agent will continue to refer back to your list of wants and needs to see which features are absolutely required and which features you’d like to have if possible. By narrowing down your home search, you will be exposed to all homes for sale, which are suitable for you. |
|
|
|
Once you have narrowed down your search by utilizing a home comparison worksheet, you will be ready to move forward to present an offer to purchase.

| Protecting Your Interests… |

Preparing an aggreement of sale is an important phase in the process and one of the main reasons you should have a buyer's agent represent you. When your agent works for you, she will show you what the probable sale price of the property should be. She will then help you develop a negotiating plan. After assisting you in the preparation of an offer to purchase, she will submit that offer on your behalf. When selecting a lender, applying for a loan and closing on your new home, you will have an experienced agent by your side to assist and advise you.
