Flowchart of the Process

As a Buyer’s Agent, it’s our responsibility to ensure the purchasing process goes as smooth as possible. The following is a flowchart of the major milestones in the process. There is much more to each of these bullet-points, which we will explain and walk you thru when you choose to work with us.

Properties catered to you

We can show you ANY property on the market…no matter who has the listing…even if it’s a FSBO.

Availablity

We are available to show you properties 7 days a week. Some sellers require 24 hour advanced notice, so as soon as you see a property you like, let us know so we can coordinate schedules between all parties and get you in to see the house!

When you find your dream property, we will research comparable properties that have sold to advise you what the market prices are and how much you should offer.

Negotiations

Closing & Follow-up

Closing day is exciting but sometimes a little nerve racking. We will be at the closing table with you along with your attorney and lender. Our closing team is very pro-active in making sure everything is ready for closing. Occasionally, an unexpected issue may arise. If it does, our closing team is quick to get on the phone and resolve any issues. We will check in with you after closing to make sure all is well and that you are settling into your new home nicely.
