Determine Your Wants and Needs

This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions I will establish what you are looking for. My goal is to not waste your time by looking at properties that are not
in your price range or homes that don't meet your needs. Throughout the buying process I will maintain your confidentiality and represent your best interests.

Help You Get Pre-Qualified

This step will show you how much you can afford. This is accomplished by speaking with your financial institution and establishing what monthly payments you will be comfortable with.

Home Shopping

We will use every available method to locate a property that matches your search parameters. This will include properties listed with our office, offered through other real estate companies, as well as unlisted properties. We will disclose all known facts about the property that are likely to affect your decision. When we find the home that meets your criteria, I will assist you in writing an offer and act as a liaison between you and the seller.

Nicely stated, Ace.

Only if people would follow these steps and be honest with themselves as to what they need versus what they want in a house.

So very very true. To bad so many people pushed the limits of income and home price over the past several years.. now we are seeing a real spilt in the market foreclosure pricing - re-sale & new construction. At least it isnt three tier, yet.

All the right steps and sounds good but putting all that to practical use is another story. It's not always the seller or the selling agent who is at fault for putting a buyer into a home he can not afford. In the meantime; there is another 350B out there for someone to use.

to by a home you must have a job. with out having a job you have no money to by sed home. to mantan a home it tacks money this is why they are losing there homes. so the big thing is MONEY NOT LOCKING TO BY A HOME BUT TO SAVE IT FROM THE BANK. and get a better job then you have right now which will not happen till the economy gets better.
