My Services for Buyers
Assisting a client with buying a home in the Seattle area or surrounding Eastside communities is my specialty. I am up-to-date on the current community market conditions, as well as the pricing differences between each neighborhood. I am also “in it for the long haul” and will work with you for as long as it takes to find you the perfect home.
There is no one more educated than I on the local school districts and what they may provide for your family. In fact, I have so much local family, I would be hard-pressed to find a local school district where I did not have a family member enrolled! This up-close and personal local knowledge is invaluable when you are trying to find a home with great resale value or finding a great neighborhood to raise your family.
Here is a bit more about what I bring to the table:
Expertise
Making your home search simpler requires a high level of expertise to define the target, set the process and find the perfect home. I have honed my skills over the years to the highest level expertise in the region and know where to find what you are looking for.
Communication
When you hire a professional you want to be kept informed every step of the way, you want to know what is being done to help you move forward. Regular, consistent communication about the goal, the market, new homes, finance trends…it all matters.
Availability
Finding the right property could happen on any given day. I won’t let you down; I am available 24/7, and will keep you ahead of the home search curve.
Negotiation
Obtaining the best negotiated outcome is what I do. Respected in the industry for fair and data-driven analysis, I am always proud to obtain best pricing for my clients. Even when our offer isn’t the highest, my strong industry reputation for getting transactions closed is that extra advantage my buyers need to help win the offer.
Process - what to expect
Our first meeting’s agenda will allow us to get to know each other and will provide an opportunity to chat about what you would like to find, your lifestyle, your dreams. I understand there are seasoned buyers, familiar with the process along with those who have never bought a home before. There is a learning curve and I want you to be comfortable all along the way. We won’t just have one overall conversation about the process, but I will explain what is coming up at every step.
Financing is always a big part of the process. We will review your current preapproval and recommend comparative lenders, if requested.
From there we will launch a discovery campaign to find just the right home. I will work within a schedule that is convenient for you. Contingencies will be built into your purchase allowing for an inspection, title review, neighborhood review and other feasibility reviews as needed. Contract deadlines will be calendared and monitored to closing as we work with the Title Company, lender and closer ensuring a smooth and successful purchase.
