Why use a Realtor? And why use Donny and Tammy? Good questions. The simple answer is because you shouldn't go about making probably the biggest financial decision of your life without professional assistance. And buyer services are generally free for the buyer in our great city! With few exceptions, fees that buyer representatives earn are paid for by the seller.
Starting out your search for your home may be overwhelming at first. That's where we come in to help. By using our time-proven structure, we work as a team to find the best home for your dollar. Your first consultation with me generally takes about an hour, and we get to learn a lot about each other. The format for the meeting is as follows:
- Discuss the importance of getting financing pre-qualification
- Discover more about you, what's important to you and why. If we're going to be representing you, we want to be able to help you as much as possible, and we want to tailor the strategy to you.
- Go through the exercise of identifying what housing needs you have. This is where we discuss specifics such as home size, location, proximity to transit, etc.
- After making some recommendations based on your unique situation, we'll sit in front of our Realtor's MLS version where we analyze all available homes for sale based on your specific requirements
- We review each home listing individually and evaluate against your needs. This is when you elect to short-list these listings into homes that you would like to personally visit.
- Lastly, we agree to a day and time to meet, we make all the necessary appointments, and we physically visit the homes on your short list.
