The
buyers I work with are a diverse group with varying
real estate needs. I represent young, first-time buyers;
suburban families; high-end buyers, and people who are
downsizing.
Here
are the key steps I take to ensure the successful purchase
of your home:
1. Creating a "wish list" of all the home
and neighborhood features that are important to you.
2. Previewing properties for you so that you can focus
on the ones that most closely meet your needs.
3. Emailing daily updates of houses you may like from
the Hilton Head Multiple Listing Service.
4. Lining up financing: I can put you in touch with
numerous lenders who will help you understand your financing
options and provide you with loan approval.
5. Writing a contract: Through years of experience,
I know how to write contracts that "win."
6. Presenting the contract: I'll advise you at every
turn until a contract is ratified and a written agreement
is in hand.
7. Contingencies and the escrow period: I'll provide
names of inspectors and settlement attorneys and also
accompany you to your inspection and advise you on any
inspection issues.
8. Settlement: I know that this final step, when the
deed and money change hands, is potentially the most
nerve-wracking. As with every other step, I'll be there
to make sure it all gets done correctly and smoothly.
9. After the sale - I'm always there for follow-up.
If you need the names of any contractors and community
resources, I'm just a phone call away.
I
pride myself on being able make buyers comfortable as
they go through what is often a daunting process. How
do I do that? By listening well and being patient. By
advising you on when a particular house is right for
you-or not. By operating within your time frame and
preferences. By working closely and personally with
you at each stage of the process. By sharing my extensive
familiarity with the neighborhoods and houses in the
Hilton Head area. By having a thorough knowledge all
the "nuts and bolts" aspects of buying a house.
To
provide the best possible service, I do ask a couple
of things of you as a buyer. They both have to do with
communication. One: Talk to me. Tell me what you're
looking for, what you like and don't like. Tell me if
you change your mind about something. Two: Ask questions.
Ask about neighborhoods, about the features of a house,
about what to expect at any point in the process. Remember
that the only bad question is the one you don't ask.
I
like to think that I form a team with the buyers I represent,
that we join together to explore many excellent options
and reach a wonderful result.
