Services I Provide to Buyers

1. Availability That Matches Your Schedule

I don't stop working at 5:00. I'm available seven days a week, well beyond standard business hours—because buying a home happens on your timeline, not mine.

2. Buyer Intake & Strategy

We start with a thoughtful conversation to understand:

  • Your needs, wants, and deal-breakers
  • Your preferred communication style
  • Your level of involvement
  • Any concerns or obstacles we can address upfront

I prefer meeting in person, but this can also be done by phone or email. If you'd like me to send you homes that fit your criteria, simply email me what you're looking for and I'll set up a custom property search for you.

3. Home Search—Done Right

I actively search for homes that match your criteria and send listings in your preferred format. You can also take control of your search by using my Property Tracker system, which allows you to:

  • Save favorites
  • Track listings
  • Receive alerts
  • Access helpful tutorial videos

This combination ensures nothing slips through the cracks.

4. Touring Homes

When you're ready to view homes, I coordinate all showings around your schedule. While touring properties, I'll:

  • Point out potential concerns
  • Highlight strong resale features
  • Help you evaluate what truly matters

Your honest feedback helps me refine the search so we zero in on the right home faster.

5. Understanding the Seller's Motivation

Winning an offer isn't just about price—it's about structure.

I research the seller's goals and tailor your offer accordingly. For example, if a seller wants time after closing, we may accommodate that while negotiating other terms in your favor. This approach:

  • Shows professionalism and respect
  • Strengthens your offer
  • Can save you money—or win the home outright

6. Market Knowledge & Research

I closely track market trends and neighborhood values. I'll provide:

  • Recent sold comparables
  • Pricing insights
  • Appreciation trends
  • Investment comparisons (condos vs. homes, etc.)

This research gives you the edge needed to make confident decisions.

7. Writing the Offer

When you're ready to move forward, I'll draft the purchase agreement and advise you on:

  • Protective contingencies
  • Local customs and regulations
  • Special terms (closing cost credits, repairs, timelines, etc.)

There are many negotiable elements in a home purchase—it takes experience to structure them correctly.

8. Making Your Offer Competitive

In multiple-offer situations, I'll advise you on strategies that improve your chances of success—without exposing you to unnecessary risk.

9. Negotiation & Acceptance

Once the offer is presented, the seller may accept, counter, or reject. My negotiation experience and understanding of your priorities help guide us to a favorable final agreement.

10. Opening Escrow

Once the contract is accepted, I open escrow and coordinate closely with the escrow company to ensure:

  • Funds are handled correctly
  • Documents are completed on time
  • The transaction stays on track

11. Managing the Contingency Period

I guide you through all contingencies, including:

  • Inspections
  • Appraisal
  • Financing
  • Title review
  • Seller disclosures

I manage timelines, coordinate with professionals, and ensure everything is handled correctly and on time—keeping you fully informed along the way.

12. Closing the Transaction

Before closing, I'll guide you through:

  • Final deposits
  • Loan document signing
  • Closing paperwork

Once the deed records, you officially own your new home—and I'm with you through the finish line.

13. Trusted Referrals

Over the years, I've built a strong network of professionals, including:

  • Escrow officers
  • Inspectors
  • Contractors
  • Lenders
  • Insurance providers
  • Legal and tax professionals

You'll never have to search blindly for help.

14. Your Advocate

My role is simple and unwavering: I represent your best interests—always.

15. Ongoing Support

My service doesn't end at closing. Whether it's months or years later, I'm always available to answer questions, provide resources, or help with your next move.

The Buyer/Agent Agreement

Most buyers sign a Buyer/Agent Agreement, which establishes a professional, exclusive relationship. This ensures clarity, commitment, and accountability on both sides.

That said, I believe strong relationships aren't built on paperwork—they're built on trust, communication, and results. If at any point you feel expectations aren't being met, let's address it immediately.

Why Use a Buyer's Agent?

Efficiency

I filter listings through professional tools unavailable to the public, saving you time and frustration.

Access

I can show you homes on your schedule—not just during open houses.

Negotiation

Strong negotiation can be the difference between winning your dream home or losing it.

Experience

I help spot red flags and guide you toward sound decisions.

Market Knowledge

More data leads to better decisions—and better outcomes.

Advocacy

The seller has representation. You should too.

Buyer's agent services are typically free to buyers—and having professional representation makes the process safer, smoother, and fair.

My Commitment to You

I am committed to helping you find the right home, in the right location, at the right price with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
