Buying your home or property is a serious venture in any market, but given the sellers market we're currently experiencing, it's a huge challenge. For most people, this is the single largest investment they'll make. And this isn't the time to make mistakes when you're pressured by competing with multiple offers, offers well over asking price, limited contingencies, etc. As a buyer/investor, you need competent representation now more than ever.
Savings
David and Jamie know how sizeable the costs can be when buying a home. They'll do everything they can to limit some of those costs for you. They work with lenders and title companies that hold down the normal fees associated with their services. They'll be able to point you to very talented service providers who don't cost an arm and a leg. They also attend the sign off with you at the title company to ensure that you don't pay one dime more than you should. Mistakes on settlement statements are quite common and David and Jamie won't let that happen to you.
Services They're not high pressure agents - All of their references will tell you that you won't feel pressured to buy. They think it's more important that you take your time, get educated on the market and then make the right decision for you.
You won't overpay for a property - As soon as you get serious about a home, they'll run all of the comps in the area, show them to you and then discuss with you what might be a fair offer price. Also, as buyer's agents, they're not working for the seller- just you. They'll do everything they can to get the best price and terms for you.
They have a powerful listing alert service - There's no cost or obligation and you'll be alerted within a couple of hours by email that a property was just listed on MLS that meets all of the features that you're looking for in a home. It's a great way to find a property and possibly even beat out other buyers. This service not only shows you brand new listings, you'll also see listings that have sold and closed escrow and at that stage, you'll be able to see a selling price. There's no better way to get educated on the market!
You'll know what your closing costs will be well before close of escrow - They'll provide you with an estimate that'll be very close to what you'll see when you go to sign documents at the title company. They attend those sign-offs with their clients to ensure that there are no surprises and everything goes as expected.
They'll help you with all of the paperwork - They'll help you review the myriad of reports, disclosures and documents to make sense of them and to understand exactly what you're buying.
They have a very organized method of showing you many homes - You just let them know which properties you want to tour, and they take it from there and get you through them in a timely and organized fashion. That's the best way to get educated on the market and they make this task very easy for you.
They have access to many properties before they get listed - They work for the largest brokerage in Santa Clara County and they're always hearing about properties that aren't on the MLS yet but will be coming on in the near future.
They can help you with the financing - They'll point you to some very good lenders that will find a good fit for you for a loan package.
They have many references - All you need to do is ask. They guarantee that you won't be disappointed with the level of service they provide.
No Surprises
David and Jamie don't like unpleasant surprises for their clients. They work very hard to eliminate those from every transaction. |
