So you want to buy a home?

If you are in the market to buy a home please send me an email and I will get in touch with you right away.

I have a clear understanding of why buyers hire me; To find them just the right home, at the best price, in the right time, with the least amount of problems. "Great service begins with a clear purpose of why someone should work with you".

100% Buyers Satisfaction Policy
If you notify me within 3 months of the time you purchase a home that you are not satisfied with the home, I will sell it for you for free. You will still be obligated for the selling agents commission and standard closing costs such as escrow and title but I will not charge for my services to list the home. If we are able to sell the home for a "break-even" to you or better including the listing commission then I would expect to be paid.

My Committment
First and foremost I make a commitment to find the best home possible. I counsel clients not to buy when I know we can do better. My goal is not to just sell a home but to make a difference in the process.
The Hunt

I look at the new listings in Gig Harbor every Thursday and will typically see 70 to 100 homes each month. This commitment to know the real estate inventory is a tremendous asset to my clients.
I make profiles for all of my buyers and use technology that alerts me the day a property is listed for sale that matches a client profile. This service positions my clients to jump on the great deals the very day they are listed.
The first thing I do each morning is review all the changes (new listings, pending, sold, expired, etc.) to our inventory - just another part of staying on top of the market.
When I really understand what a client is looking for, we can shorten the process of finding the perfect home.
What's it worth?

Once we find the right home we need to determine its value and start the offering process. Sometimes it makes sense to make a full price offer or even above asking price. Other times, the price needs to be negotiated. This is where having an agent with intimate market knowledge is so important.
Financing

I can help my clients get approved for financing and in most cases, provide better financing terms than they found on their own. Pre-approved clients have a better chance of getting the properties that have multiple offers.
Crafting an offer - It is vital to write a contract that will cover all the issues that can occur without intimidating the seller. I have been writing offers since 1988 and have learned the art of addressing the issues while getting the property under contract.

The Inspection
The inspection is probably one of the most important things you will do in the home buying process. I am able to introduce you to the best home inspectors in town.

Reviewing the Title
Reviewing and understanding the liens, encumbrances, easements, defects, and other issues on a title policy is a service provided to my clients through my team at the title and escrow company
Of course this is not a complete list but it does give an idea of the home buying process and hopefully conveys that I am truly committed to the needs of my clients.
