The Home Search

As your real estate agent, my most important job is to make the home search process pleasant and rewarding for you.

I do that in a number of ways.

I help you discern what properties are suitable and likely to sell at a price you’ll be comfortable with. I make sure you don’t miss opportunities.

I help you schedule viewings that fit your schedule, so there’s little, if any, inconvenience for you.

I provide you with in-depth details on the home, so you can make an informed decision. Review any available seller disclosures and give in-depth observations in an effort to identify potential red-flags. Provide you with comparable sale data to determine market value. Later, if you have questions, I get the answers for you.

I’ll share my candid insights on the neighborhood, so you get a clear sense of what an area is like in terms of lifestyle, safety, schools, etc.

When you find a property you like, I give you my honest, professional recommendation as to how well the home meets your needs and wants. You won’t have to make such an important decision without my expert advice.

As your real estate agent, I’m committed to getting you into the RIGHT home, and I’m with you every step of the way.

What to Look for when Viewing a Property

Here are a few questions and ideas to consider when viewing homes to help make the process easier and more productive:

• Does the home have your “needs” features (those features you must have)? (For example, number of bedrooms, closet space, kitchen size, etc.)
• Does the home have any of your “wants” features (those features you’d like to have but would be willing to forgo)? (For example, large backyard deck, spacious family room, etc.)
• What is the general condition of the home? (Are there signs that the owners have kept up with repairs and maintenance?)
• Will the home need any major repairs, remodeling or renovations? Is there anything, such as the furnace, that may need to be replaced soon?
• What do you like most about the home?
• Is there anything about the home you don’t like? Can that be changed with a remodeling or renovation now or in the future?
• Take a walk around the neighborhood. Are the homes well-kept, indicating pride of ownership?
• Do you like where the home is situated in the neighborhood?
• Does the neighborhood have what you want? (For example, access to public transit, shopping, local parks, etc.)

Viewing properties should never be a frustrating ordeal. It’s my job to help make the process easy and productive for you, so you can find the home you want.
