Embracing these six pillars help earn trust that strengthens & enriches relationships with our loyal customers.
Financing Available
Have you been preapproved to buy a home? The first step to buying a home is obtaining a preapproval letter from a lender or mortgage broker. Most sellers will not accept an offer without this document.
VA Loans - 0% down payment with little or no closing costs (you may even get money back at closing).
FHA Loans - 3.5% down. A great option of you have a low credit score or little money to put down.
Conventional Loan - As little as 3% down payment options available.
The Buying Process
Did you know?
- You rarely get a better deal by going direct to the listing agent for showings because sellers have a predetermined commission split with listing broker long before a buyer comes along.
- For the above reason, it is imperative to build a trusting relationship with one licensed real estate advisor that is on your team.
- Close the same day. We coordinate simultaneous closings when you need to sell a home in order to purchase your next home.
- Your Realtor will schedule showings, preview properties, submit an offer then help navigate, negotiate and coordinate the entire buying process.
- Realtors have access to all properties listed on the MLS as well as those listed on major real estate search websites.
- Realtors have access to Open Houses and most For Sale By Owner (FSBO).
- Did you know that real estate transactions often involve 15-20 people?
- There is SO much that goes on behind the scenes.
Financing vs Cash Purchase
- Cash is not always king, but it will likely enhance an offer when multiple offers are presented to the seller.
- Cash closings as quick as a few days and average 25-35 days
- Financed closings average 30-45 days
