As your agent my responsibilities are to find potential homes, communicate with sellers and their agents, and represent your interests when negotiating a home purchase. I will be acting as a guide on your home buying journey.

From house hunting to closing. Among other things, I will be there to:

• Find homes for sale. I will help you understand the type of home you can afford in the current market, find listed homes that match your needs and price range, and then help you narrow the options to the properties worth considering. Additionally, I will dig up information on any listings that you find and forward their way. With access to the Multiple Listing Service, agents can see more information than you can using real estate websites and apps.

• Know the area inside and out. If you’re not a local, I can provide you with the inside scoop on schools, neighborhoods and more. Even if you’re from the area, they may be able to provide you with details about zoning or taxes that you might not know about.

• Set up tours. Scrolling through listing photos just isn’t the same as viewing a property in person. I will work with a home’s listing agent or owners (if the property is for sale by owner) to schedule showings. 

• I am here to help you make offers. After you’ve found a home you want to buy, I will advise you on how much to offer and what contingencies to include in the contract, based on the property and an analysis of the market. I will explain the contract terms, answer your questions and walk you through each step of the process.

• I am also here to help you negotiate with the seller. I will inform you of the seller’s response to your offer and advise you on the next steps, such as whether to accept a seller’s counteroffer or negotiate on price and terms.
