Buyers Services

Our services are FREE to buyers. We will show you as many houses as you like until you find the best house available in your price range. It is not uncommon for us to show a potential buyer 5 to 10 homes a day. And if he/she cannot find one, we'll do it over the next day! ... and the next... until you find your dream home. Most Realtors will show you five homes then pressure you to make an offer on one. Not us. We provide service and that is exactly what we do.

HOUSE HUNTING without a REALTOR?:
First of all, the sellers pay our commissions, not the buyers. Think you can save money by house-hunting on your own, and asking the seller for a discount since you're not represented by a Realtor? Guess what? You'll just do the listing agent a favor by doubling her commission! Now she'll get both the buyer's and seller's commissions. You still will not get a discount. Consider this... How do you know you are getting the best price from the seller? OK, you got the house for $250K. The seller's original asking price is $280K. How do you know that's a good price? We may have gotten it for you for $235K! What are your negotiating factors? If the seller refuse to lower the price, what do you do? Are you sure the window treatments, fans, water softener, etc. will be staying? Is it in your contract? What if the appliances break within a year? Or the roof, A/C need replacement sooner than you thought? How are you covered? Who's looking out for your best interest? How do you know you really saved money by doing it on your own? Do you have appraisal comps to prove it? The house may only be worth $240K. We'd rather take care of that for you... besides... we're FREE!

Our services to all home buyers:
We will show you as many houses as you like until you find the right one. We will run comparables to show you what similar houses have sold for in the past few months. We're savvy negotiators and we'll use that to our advantage to negotiate the best price for you. We have several different strategies. We'll tell you if the house is over-priced, under-priced or price just right. We negotiate any additional terms for you including strategies for closing and closing costs. We will be able to tell you the most common things to look for in a house, both inside and out. What to do if the house appraises above or below contract price, what your options are. Where you can lower your closing costs and how. We will save you money, and we will tell you exactly how, where, and why. Negotiation is the key and the leverage comes from having the tools and knowledge to do so. Best of all... IT's FREE. If you know anyone who is thinking of selling a home...we offer the area's best commission rates.
