LEARNING WHAT YOU WANT AND DON'T WANT IN YOUR HOME As your Buyer's Agent, I will ask for and carefully listen to what you want to accomplish, your wants and needs, your goals and dreams and then use this information, along with my knowledge of the real estate market, to locate the neighborhoods and the homes with all of the features you told me were most important to you. Please complete this Phoenix Dream Home
SEEING ALL HOMES WITH THE FEATURES YOU WANT WITHIN YOUR PRICE It is important for you to see all homes on the market in your price range, without regard to the real estate company or builder marketing them, so you can have the widest choice of homes and the best opportunity to get what you want at the best value your money can buy.
DISCLOSE THE GOOD AND BAD FEATURES OF THE HOMES WE SEE My job is to guide and advise you, not to make a quick sale. As we view properties, you can count on me to provide you a thorough and unbiased evaluation of every home, as though I was the prospective buyer for the property your are about to buy, when you decide to sell it. After all, don't you want your home to rise in value over the years you own it? It is important you buy a home that will perform at least as well as the market. I know why some homes rise in value better than others and I will share these reasons with you as we view homes.
DEVELOP A WINNING NEGOTIATING STRATEGY I will customize a winning negotiating strategy so the purchase offer we write, on your terms and at a price you can afford, should be acceptable to the Seller. You don't want to insult the Seller with a "low ball", way below market offer. But we offer less than the Seller initially thought they would accept for his property, and get the home at a very good value. It it important to structure your offer so the Seller feels you are serious about buying his home at a "fair" price and he is, therefore, willing to find a mutually acceptable sales price.
CONTINUOUS MARKET UPDATES UNTIL WE FIND YOUR HOME I'll keep you updated on the changes in the housing market and future trends using the latest statistical data for our local area. I will continually monitor homes as they come on the market and immediately alert you to those homes that meet your needs, giving you first choice to make an offer, until we find your new home.
MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITY FOR HOME APPRECIATION Whether you are considering the purchase of your personal home or you are ready to make a real estate investment to increase your wealth, diversify your portfolio, and have a hedge against future inflation, my expertise will help you purchase a home that will appreciate at a higher rate of return.
