The Home Buying Process

As you begin to think about buying a home, you're probably acutely aware that this is likely to be your greatest investment ever (short of children or a good marriage), and you might be wondering if there's anything you really need to know as you go into this process. This is where your real estate professionals come in. With the help of a trained agent, you can come out on top of a closing that might otherwise have pushed your retirement ahead a decade! This happens all the time to buyers, who are left reflecting on the relatively small commission that would have brought a Realtor into the bargain to help them.

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is utilized to list Residential Properties for sale by Real Estate Agents for their clients in the Nashville and greater Tennessee Area.  As a Tennessee licensed Realtor and Affiliate Broker, I am able to represent you as a Buyer’s Agent, and show any of these Property Listings (MLS) available for sale in this great State. Why should you use a Realtor®

I can research and suggest the best fit regarding your property needs no matter if it is a home, condominium, farm, estate, investment property, or land to build your dream house on.  If you are also needing to secure an established contractor, I can suggest a number of quality builders that you can consider in the construction of your new dream home.

Five Reasons to buy your home with a REALTOR®

  1. Get access to all the listings.
  2. Know all the facts on properties you're interested in.
  3. Negotiate with the help of a real estate professional.
  4. Finance your home faster.
  5. Make a solid investment that pays off down the road.

New homes for sale hit the market daily. As your representative, I will be in regular contact with sellers and other real estate agents to ensure you see all the newest listings right away, whether or not they're made public. Often, my clients can put in offers with little or no competition and walk away with an impressive deal on the property of their choice. As your Buyers agent, I will also make sure you see only the properties that meet your needs and investment preferences, so that you don't spend time on listings that aren't of interest. As you compare the best deals, we'll provide you with important information about the home, its neighborhood, zoning issues, utilities, and nearby plans for development.

Many real estate transactions include an extensive negotiating process, and as your buyer's Agency it will be my job to represent you here and get the best deal possible. I will also attend property inspections, make sure any and all agreed-on repair work is carried out, and handle paperwork related to the sale. I can also help set up the financing for your investment, and work directly with a broker to provide you with a seamless service package.

Transaction -

When the right home is found, I will on your behalf negotiate the best possible price and terms based on the current market analysis to ensure that you are getting a great investment. Once the offer has been accepted, I will follow through the remaining process with you with the ultimate goal of possession of your home and ensure a smooth transition into the community. 

  I can recommend local Mortgage Lenders to work with in securing the financing that you need. You can work with them directly and choose the one that fits your needs, based on a select list of trusted lenders that I have established.  You may also want to market other financial institutions of your own discretion.

  A pre-qualification letter is recommended.  A seller will generally select the offer over someone that is not pre-qualified, thus making the contract process a lot timelier. 

  My Services also includes working closely with Home Inspection, Surveying, Appraisal, and Title Companies professionals as necessary in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly and your property closes on schedule. 

  Research and evaluate property tax, available surveys, and utility records for potential issues. 

  As an e-Pro® Specialist you can be assured that I will keep you posted on all activity in a continual, timely, and professional manner.  

Closing Activities –

Ensure that all necessary documents are available to the closing agent to enable a timely closure of your property.

  Assist in final Walk-Thru prior to closing.

  Coordinates closing schedule and activities with all parties.

  Attend the closing. Also serve as liaison if out of state or absentee closing is required. 

Post Closing –

Ensure that client’s needs are met regarding area information or services.  This process is as important to me as the transaction process to ensure client’s expectations are exceeded.

  Community Information requested by you and your family, including everything from dry cleaning to great places to dine out.

  I will also assist in directing you to all municipal offices in regards to utility and support services.

  Assist with Introducing Children into the Local School System.
