| WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF HIRING A BUYER'S AGENT? |
Choosing a licensed agent to represent you during the purchase of your home has MANY advantages over doing the tedious work yourself. One of them, which many find to be the most important, is that the services of a buyer's agent are almost always completely free of charge to the buyer!
These are a few of the other advantages of choosing me to assist you:
● By using the power of the multiple, I can instantly search thousands of homes and narrow the results to your specific criteria and area.
● By negotiating the sales price.
● By negotiating repairs pursuant to property inspections.
● By negotiating personal property into the sales price.
● By helping you find the lowest mortgage costs and negotiating sellers into paying closing costs when possible.
● By obtaining home warranties and other extras within the final sales price.
● By consulting with you to find the best value and location for your situation.

| HOME BUYER 101 |
Congratulations on your decision to buy a new home! There are many important things to consider throughout the process, especially if you're a first-time homebuyer. Here's some information that will keep you on track.
In general:
A home purchase may be your largest financial transaction to date, so it's important to make the right decisions and to keep an eye on the details. With my assistance and that of your Loan Officer, it should be an efficient, pleasant, and ultimately rewarding experience.
Count on me to:
● Preview available homes to weed out those that are overpriced or undesirable in some other way.
● Present the homes that suit your needs as you've defined them.
● Help you determine the difference between a "good buy" and a property which, because of its nature (neighborhood, market appeal, etc.), might have to be discounted if you decide to sell in the future.
● Negotiate the best deal for you. With a pre-qualification letter from your lender in hand, I will be able to demonstrate that you are a qualified and capable borrower. This will strongly influence the Seller, and may make the difference between the Seller accepting your offer or someone else's -- even if your offer is lower!
Count on your Mortgage Broker and Loan Officer to:
● Assist you in selecting the best loan to meet your personal situation and goals. This single decision can save you thousands of dollars throughout the years!
● Keep you informed of your loan status throughout the entire process.
● Keep your Real Estate Agent informed of the loan progress.
● Get the appropriate loan for you at the best rates and fees. This will save you significant money "up front" and throughout the years to come.
Count on yourself to:
● Keep your Real Estate Agent informed of any questions or concerns as they develop.
● Keep the process moving by providing documentation and decisions as soon as reasonably possible. By doing so, many of the details are taken care of early in the process so you can comfortably concentrate on any last-minute details or events that require your attention.
● Enjoy purchasing your home, but do remain objective throughout -- make the business decisions that are best for you.
● Make sure you are pre-approved as early as possible. This will put the power of financing behind you so you can concentrate on selecting your home.
