Give me a call and see for yourself.

• Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each home in relation to your specific needs.
• Keep you informed on a regular basis.
• Check the MLS data base and with other brokers daily for new listings that meet your criteria.
• Prepare an itinerary and “tour” map on which all homes meeting your criteria have been located.
• Keep you up to date on changing financial conditions that may affect the housing market.
• Be available to answer your questions or to offer assistance regarding your home purchase.
• Discuss market trends and values relative to properties which may be of interest to you.
• Assist you with homes offered by “For Sale By Owner.” A homeowner trying to sell their home themselves is usually doing so in hopes of saving the commission. Coincidentally, this is the reason a buyer wants to deal directly with a homeowner. Many times a homeowner will work with an agent, even though his home is not listed, if the agent introduces the buyer to the property. If you should see a FSBO and want the advantages of my services, please let me contact the owner and set the appointment.
• Show you new homes as well as pre-owned homes if you desire.
• Introduce you to local builders to discuss building your next home. I can work with most builders and can get all the information you need to make any decision, but I will need to accompany you to the property on the initial visit. By letting me help you with builders, you get all the services offered in this presentation and those offered by the builder as well. You’ll get more, but you won’t pay more for it.

Pre-Qualifying and Lender Requirements

I am familiar with the lender’s requirements and, using the above information, will be able to determine your price range and your ability to qualify for a loan. In this counseling session, I will tell you approximately how much you can anticipate in closing costs and prepaid items at the time of closing. I suggest that you actually meet with a lender before house-hunting if there is any question regarding your qualifications or simply to get a head start on financing.

Financing Options

Depending upon the price of the home and/or the amount of your down payment, there may be several options that fit your needs. They include VA (for military veterans only) which allows 100% financing of the purchase, FHA (Federal Housing Administration) which allows purchase with as little as 3% down and CONVENTIONAL, generally the best option when putting down 20%. In addition to these traditional methods, there are a variety of other creative financing options including Owner Financing, First Time Home Buyer Programs, Loan Assumptions, and Lease Purchase.

  • You won’t waste time considering homes you cannot afford.
  • You can select the best loan package without being under pressure.
  • Seller may choose to make concessions if they know that your financing is secured, and this may make your offer more competitive.

I understand the many questions and concerns of home buyers and how this information will be helpful throughout the transaction. I assure you that it is my goal to provide you with the most professional and informative service available. I am always just a call away when you have a questions.

Nice job!

While checking around for one of our clients I noticed a special offer from BW Service Experts. They are knocking $51 dollars off their normal $120 furnace tune up price. The special lasts until November 30th. Total cost for the furnace tune up which includes a filter replacement up to 1 inch think, is 69 bucks.

That's a pretty good price.

And no, we're not kicking any kickbacks for promoting BW Service Experts, it's just that I checked around and this price of $69 was $120 less expensive than the other well known HVAC company in the area I called.

So if you're thinking about giving your furnace a tune up before winter now is the time to call.
