R E Realty's skilled Buyer's Agents have assisted everyone, from first time home buyers to savvy investors, in obtaining the home of their dreams or the perfect addition to their portfolio.
Are you a First-Time Home Buyer?
Congratulations on making the decision to purchase a home a priority in your life! You have taken the first exciting step in educating yourself to understand the process. We are working hard to make this area your personal interactive home buyer's universe, but until that happens you can still receive the same valuable information directly from the staff of R E Realty! Here are some of the things you should be thinking about:
*Getting Prepared
Our first consultation with you is a fact finding mission. What's important to you? What do you know? What don't you know? We can help you get organized and put a proper game plan together.
*Financing
Due to the irresponsible lending of recent years past, qualifications for borrowers have tightened up and there are now far fewer financing options for buyers to choose from. Fortunately for you, there are still some great programs out there with historically lower fixed interest rates and requiring very little money down. Don't worry if all of this is new to you! There is no reason to feel overwhelmed. We can help educate you and show you how to pick a great Loan Officer.
*Finding a Home
For us, this is the fun part! This is where we bring the information we have gathered from you and use it to find properties you will want to see. Getting out to look at homes with us is a fun and educational experience. You are going to learn so much! And, of course, there's that exciting moment when you discover the home that's perfect for you. Time to make an offer!
*From the Offer Through Closing
We will research the property, and it's surrounding area to determine our professional opinion on what it's worth. From there, we will consult with you on making an offer and then begin to negotiate with the other party.
Once your offer is accepted, we will show you how to find an experienced home inspector to inspect the home. This is a great time to learn everything about your new home - how things work, where they are located, etc.
While all of this is taking place, we will coordinate with your Loan Officer to make sure the loan is progressing smoothly and that you're well informed regarding your closing costs. Again, we will be working very closely with you and educating you throughout this entire process.
Finally, the closing day has arrived! While there is much to be excited and proud about accomplishing, there is still plenty to be done. Let's get through the paperwork, get your keys, schedule your movers, call the utility companies and then we can celebrate! You will look back on this time as one of the most amazing experiences of your life.
Are you an Investor?
C'mon! You know you've thought about investing in real estate! You couldn't avoid this topic right now if you wanted to. Whether the foreclosure market is old news to you, or investing in real estate is completely new territory, we can help.
Great real estate companies have survived and thrived in this depressed market because of their involvement with bank-owned homes. Realtors with little experience, and that don't have the fortitude to adapt with the market, have quit the industry.
We have short sale and foreclosure experience. While the foreclosure market is more competitive for buyers right now, there are still great deals to be had. We talk to investors all the time about the market and where their opportunities lie. We can help you turn talk and ideas into action and profit. Call us today!
