Tips to Buying Your Dream Home

#1 Be A Cash Buyer

#2 See Something, Say Something

#3 Be Competitive

The last few years in real estate have changed dramatically.  The experience gained by representing my clients has given them an edge over other buyers in the market.  This edge has lead to more successful closings, smoother home buying experiences and more people finding their perfect house.  Find out how my expertise will deliver a simple path into your dream home.

#1 – Be A Cash Buyer

No, I don’t expect you to have enough cash in your bank account to pay for a house, but I most certainly know how to put you in a strong negotiating position.  So many people lose out on their dream home because their contract to buy a house does not look as strong as others. In a competitive real estate market, you need to do everything possible to stand out from other buyers.  Together we can make your offer appear to a seller that your financing is very secure and they will be assured that the deal will go through and close. You will also be able to compete against a cash buyer. Let me show you how we can deliver a simple path into your dream home by becoming a Cash Buyer!

#2 – See Something, Say Something

Too many people tell me stories about finding their dream home on Realtor.com or Zillow, wait a few days to call their agent and come to find out that they are too late!  Someone else put an offer on their dream home and it is no longer available.

DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

#1 Get set up on our home search

#2 Call Us.  When you see a house you want to look at you need to call us ASAP.

#3 Pictures can be Deceiving.  Actively Look at houses, Even if a home does not look perfect online that does not mean you will not fall in love with it in person.  

#4 Act Fast.  Be prepared to make a decision quickly.  

If you follow these simple steps we will deliver a simple path into your dream home.

#3 – Be Competitive

Do not follow the lessons taught to people on HGTV; You are local and so are we.  Every city and situation in real estate is very different. In some cities, you can be more aggressive when you are negotiating a price for your home, but in others, you might have to pay more than what a seller is asking for.  More importantly, there are many other factors in buying a home that are extremely important. There is no need to stress about these things because that is what we are here to do for you.

My team and I specialize in real estate.  Let our experience and expertise guide you through the process and in the end, you will have been delivered a simple path into your dream home.

When I started in the world of Real Estate in 2010 a lot of other agents were getting out of the business when the housing bubble burst. This allowed me to cut my teeth in Real Estate in a manner slightly different than most other agents – I have learned to be precise and available. That combined with a focus on numbers and trends has allowed me to navigate the continually evolving market landscape. I also flip houses and this knowledge adds an extra element of expertise that my clients find quite useful. Buying or selling a home is a major decision; I want my clients to be satisfied with their purchase during and after the sale. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in the greater Geneva Lake area, my attention to detail is 2nd to none. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or selling your property, I have the resources, equipment, knowledge, and experience to assist you with all your real estate needs. Even after you have settled into your new home, I will continue to lend my knowledge, skills, and services.
