— we offer BUYERS —
Efficiency
We are proficient at sorting through available properties to find homes that meet your needs. Our MLS tools provide advanced search functions more detailed and specific than the public sites available online. We send you properties that specifically meet your needs, and we save you time by previewing potential properties before we show them to you.
A+ Access
We have access to all homes listed for sale through our industry-standard electronic key box system. We can show properties when you want to see them, and we can show you new listings right away.
Local Knowledge
We work with you to help you understand current market values. Our years of experience help us interpret recent comparable sales and determine a favorable offering price for your purchase. We have a keen eye for value gleaned from years of touring houses and attending inspections.
Negotiation Expertise
We are experts at negotiating the best price and terms for your purchase. We work with you to explain the needs and conditions of a given seller and property, and we work with the seller’s agent to help them understand the favorable nature of your offer. We have experience in all types of markets. In both a seller’s and a buyer’s market, we can recommend ways to increase the attractiveness of your offer. We have a very high success rate on offers submitted.
Inspection Resources
We have cultivated a network of industry experts from home inspectors to engineers to help you understand your purchase. We guide you through the inspection contingency process and negotiate on your behalf.
Flawless Follow-through
We follow your purchase through closing, tracking contingencies, communicating with the escrow company and mortgage brokers, and advising you through the preparations for closing and moving.
No Cost to Buyer
Our compensation is commission-based and paid out of closing by the selling party. In rare cases where no commission is offered, payment arrangements are negotiable.
