BUYER COUNSELING
Our goal is to make the complex home-buying process an enjoyable, pleasurable experience for you. To best enable us to help you, the first step is to have a conversation with us – explaining your needs and desires, as we share professional feedback.
CUSTOM HOME SEARCH BY EMAIL
We provide a truly custom home search that is specific to your criteria. First we send you the current inventory of all homes that fit your criteria. Then, we send you updates as new homes hit the market that fit your criteria. We can draw a map to pinpoint listings only to your desired area, or provide only the subdivisions that you want. Only interested in block homes? Want to exclude high-hazard flood zones? Gated communites only? It is also important that we only send homes that fit your loan type/payment method.
DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE
We have access to help you apply for downpayment/closing cost assistance. Currently up to $15,000 in Hillsborough County, and up to $7500 in Pinellas County. Inquire for more information.
LENDER PRE-APPROVAL & COUNSELING
Nearly all sellers today require for you to obtain a pre-approval letter from lender (if paying by loan) or proof-of-funds (if paying by cash). We can arrange for you to speak with a lender to determine your purchasing power and give you an idea of monthly mortgage payment & closing costs.
MOTIVATED & READY
We’re accessible and reply fast to your inquiries. We have access to all homes by all brokers. Questions about a home you see online? Just drove past a for sale sign? Text us the address and we’ll quickly help you.
EASY OFFER
We point out the most important areas of the paperwork when signing an offer to purchase a home. We are patient to reply to your questions so that you feel comfortable. Most clients love our use of electronic signatures, but you could sign by hand if you prefer.
NEGOTIATING ASSISTANCE
We use hard data of Comparative Market Analysis and look out for your best interests.
INSPECTIONS
We strongly encourage all buyers to take advantage of an inspection period. During this time, it is important to perform all due diligence, including but not limited to, home inspection, termite inspection, insurance quote – as well as address any concern you may have. A buyer can cancel during the inspection period and receive their full deposit back.
TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT
We maintain firm contact with all parties during the transaction to ensure that the transaction is moving forward. This includes title companies, lenders, inspectors, et cetera.
PREFERRED VENDORS
Our clients have access to our list of contacts in the community. We have helpful resources for anything housing-related, both before, during, and after your transaction. Home warranty, lenders, appraisers, resources for renovations and repairs, et cetera.
