You've Decided to Buy a Home!

Buying a home is more than looking at houses. It's finding the right home, at the right price, in the right location. Hopefully, with a minimum amount of time and inconvenience. The best way to achieve these objectives is to work with a professional realtor who understands your needs and wants, your time frame, and the financial boundaries to work within.

Buyer's Contribution

• Provide details of your property needs.

• Describe what would be a suitable location.

• Provide financial information.

• Communicate your likes and dislikes on each property.

• Commit to the salesperson.

Working together as a team, with a professional salesperson you respect, should achieve those objectives you seek - the right home for you.

Let the agent do the searching. The best buys are not always in the newspaper ads. In fact, most opportunities are on "Hot Sheets" available every morning to salespeople with access to M.L.S. information. Once you connect with a salesperson they can do a more complete search for you. A salesperson will commit time to you if you will commit loyalty to them. If you "Play the Field" you cannot expect undivided attention.

Selecting a Real Estate Agent

It is important that the salesperson understands your needs. A good salesperson will define your needs before they start to show you homes. Questions you should ask a real estate agent when making your selection:

• Do you have access to M.L.S. information?

• Would you provide market evidence to support the price?

• Will you look after the details to closing and possession?

• Can you be contacted at any time?

Real Estate Agent's Function

• Provide information on the property.

• Provide information on the area.

• Negotiate a price and terms, agreeable to buyer and seller.

• Assist in arranging a source of financing.
