Research & Prepare

Once we’ve decided to collaborate on finding your new home, it’s time for us to lay some groundwork and create a home buying strategy. You’ll answer some questions and work through a checklist, we’ll evaluate the market and identify areas of focus. Together, we’ll plan a timeline and home-tour strategy.

Find Your Home

With our guidance, you’ll tour homes that match your wants and needs, potentially refining that list along the way. Once you’ve found a home you love, we’ll help negotiate offers and coordinate inspections, appraisals and other closing needs. We work right up to closing to help ensure your paperwork is complete and everything is in order for closing. Bumps in the road toward buying a home are common but it’s our job to help you face those calmly and strategically, and ultimately find yourself at the closing table.

Whether you’re new or not-so-new to buying real estate, we offer comprehensive buyer support. From pre-approval to home previews and tours, to contract negotiations and closing—we strive to create a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish.

Home Buyer Frequently Asked Questions

These are just a few examples of the commonly asked questions about working with a real estate agent. Remember, each situation is unique, so don't hesitate to ask any specific questions you may have. We’re happy to help!

  • Real estate agents have expertise and knowledge of the local market, pricing trends, and negotiation strategies. They can help you navigate the complexities of buying a home, save you time and effort, and provide valuable guidance throughout the process.

  • Consider interviewing multiple agents and asking about their experience, knowledge of the local market, track record, and marketing strategies. It's important to find an agent you trust, feel comfortable with, and who understands your specific needs and goals.

  • Real estate agents assist buyers in various ways. They help find suitable properties, schedule viewings, negotiate offers, complete contracts, manage inspection and appraisal timelines, work with the mortgage and title company to secure needed documentation, and help facilitate the closing process.

  • Real estate agents typically work on a commission basis, which is a percentage of the final sale price. The commission is generally split between the seller's agent (listing agent) and the buyer's agent. The specifics of the commission structure can vary, so it's important to discuss this with your agent upfront.

  • While it's technically possible to work with multiple agents, it's generally not recommended. It can lead to confusion, conflicts of interest, and may negatively impact your relationship with the agents involved. It's best to choose one agent to represent you exclusively. This is done through an agency agreement and will ensure you receive dedicated support and full fudiciary responsibilities from the agent. Once you have an exclusive representative, you cannot work with another agent until the expiration of the agreement.

  • The level of involvement depends on your preferences and comfort level. Real estate agents can handle many aspects of the process on your behalf, including property searches, negotiations, paperwork, and coordinating inspections. However, it's important to communicate your preferences and stay informed throughout the process. Typically, the more collaborative the process, the better your experience.

  • While real estate agents are not mortgage lenders, they can provide recommendations for reputable lenders and help you connect with mortgage professionals. They can also provide general information about different loan options, but for specific mortgage advice, it's best to consult with a mortgage specialist directly.

  • The duration can vary based on various factors such as market conditions, financing processes, and the complexity of the transaction. On average, the process can take several weeks to a few months from the initial search to closing.
