Many people don’t realize how much goes into buying a home – here’s a partial list of some of the important things I do to make your home purchase go smoothly.

• Research properties that meet your needs both on and off the MLS (multiple listing service)
• Provide insight into neighborhoods, schools, etc.
• Set up appointments and show properties of interest
• Assist with the process of finding a lender and getting pre-qualified for a loan that is right for you
• Order preliminary title report to make sure that there are no issues that need to be dealt with prior to making an offer
• Walk you through all forms and answer any questions
• Help you craft a clean, competitive offer
• Negotiate counter-offers on your behalf
• Contact lender regularly to make ensure loan is on track
• Negotiate any request for repairs
• Manage appraisal process
• Regularly communicate with escrow to ensure process is moving forward and avert any issues
• Ensure all parties have all forms and information needed to close the sale
• Answer any post-close questions you may have
