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.

- Provide insight into neighborhoods, schools, etc.
- Set up appointments and show properties of interest

- 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
