Why Do I Need A Realtor When Buying A Home?
A Realtor is a valuable resource for the issues that invariably come up during a home purchase. Buying a home can be exciting as well as challenging, but with my help it can be a rewarding experience and result in a move-in day filled with happiness. Here are some tips to help with the process:
- Obtain a Comparative Market Analysis
A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) helps you accurately determine a potential home’s value. I’ll prepare a CMA for the home you’re considering so you can determine a fair offer for the home. - Start the Financing Process
Get pre-approved to show the seller that you’re serious and give you bargaining power during negotiations. We have an in house lender in conjunction with Wells Fargo or we have other outside options as well. Getting you the best rate for the best price is always the bottom line goal. - Narrow Your Search
Go online and compare neighborhoods and home prices. You can also compare schools at apr.com/gkurtz. - Document Assistance
Writing and presenting your purchase offer and managing the paperwork are a necessary part of the home-buying process. My role is vital during this segment of the purchase in order to keep the transaction moving and on track. - Evaluate and Negotiate Offers and Counteroffers
My negotiating skills are your best ally in a competitive market. I can help you get the best purchase price for your new home. - Get Objective Advice
My impartial viewpoint and advice on housing options and alternatives throughout the process is essential. In addition, my knowledge of the overall real estate market is a benefit that cannot be underestimated. - Set-Up a Home Inspection
A home inspection can determine if there are any problems or repairs that need to be taken care of before you complete your purchase. - Negotiate Disputes
I will negotiate, mediate and provide conflict resolution to help you and the seller come to a mutually beneficial outcome. - Prepare for Contingencies
Contractual contingencies are terms that must be met before an agreement can be binding. I will be instrumental in negotiating with the sellers to resolve contingencies before they cause undue delay.
So, make sure to call me or set up an appointment for any questions, my job is to help you thru a process that will be the largest purchase you ever make.
