Buying
Nothing beats the feeling of waking up to the first day in a new home. Looking around the room you
realize, that just a few months ago this was still a dream, but now these walls, doors and windows
all belong to you.
However, the process to get to this point can sometimes be intimidating and confusing. As an
experienced real estate agent, I am here to guide you through the entire process from selecting the
right home, to closing at the right price. I will help you shop for the best rates, terms and can even
suggest mortgage lenders.
Before Purchasing a Home
Check Your Credit
Get copies of your credit report. If need be, clean it up. Remember, the higher your credit score, the
better your loan interest rate. You should check all the three major credit reporting companies:
Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, as each may have slightly different information.

Price Range
Determine your price range before you consider the areas you would like to live, so you can look at
homes only in your budget.
Find a Lender
Most people have to take out a loan to buy a home, and you want to be prepared to make a purchase
offer as soon as you find a home you’re interested in. So, you want to make sure that you are
approved for a loan before you look at homes. If you need help finding a lender, I can recommend
trusted lenders in your area.
Research
The details count when looking for the perfect home. If you have children, you will want to consider
the school districts in the area. Do you want more bedrooms or bathrooms? Would you prefer a
newer or older home? These are all things to keep in mind when looking for your new home.
Found Your Home?
When you find the home you want to buy, I’m ready to prepare a written offer. Since I’m familiar
with market value, I’ll help you arrive at a price that gives your offer the best chance of being
accepted.
Once Your Offer is Accepted
After your offer is accepted, you’ll have a grace period to get the house professionally inspected.
This is the time to request repairs or submit a counter offer if need be.
Moving Time
Now that you’ve obtained your home, the next step is moving arrangements. If you plan on hiring a
professional mover, schedule accordingly. I can also suggest reputable companies. Don’t forget to
submit a change of address form and contact the local utility companies.
Selling
Why do I need a real estate agent?
This is a question I hear from people trying to sell their home every day. Studies show that home
sellers who use a real estate agent to represent them generally get a better price than those who

sell their home themselves. That is because agents stay up to date on critical processes, and can
keep your home sale to the letter of the law.
I can help you get your home sold at the best price possible, in the right time frame, by marketing
your home locally and online, and by making myself available to interested buyers whenever they
call.
Before Your Home Is Listed
It’s important to have your home in good showing condition before buyers start going through it.
Here are some steps to take:
Spot Paint
Touch up interior and exterior paint as needed.
Update Carpet
Install new carpeting and flooring if it appears worn or dated.
Trim and Rake
Trim bushes and plants as needed, and make sure the lawn is kept mowed and trimmed. In autumn,
rake the leaves; in winter, keep the snow shoveled.
Minimize You to Maximize Them
Minimize personal items such as family photos. You want buyers to see themselves living in the
home
Start Packing
Consider putting excess furniture and belongings in storage. Now’s the time to clean out the garage
and basement and sell, give away or throw away items you don’t need any more.
Find Potential Problems Early
Consider having a pre-listing inspection performed. Buyers will be hiring professional inspectors;
here’s your chance to address problems in advance.
During the Listing Period
When potential buyers visit your home, either find something to do away from your home for a
couple hours, or make yourself as inconspicuous as possible.
Have fresh flowers in the entryway. It makes for a friendly introduction into your home.
