AS YOUR REALTOR
I'm here for you!
Hiring the right real estate agent is a vital part of the home buying journey. As your buyer's Agent this is how I support you in the home purchasing process:
Work & negotiate for YOU, not the seller's best interests
Have access to available properties not syndicated to sites like Zillow and Trulia
Access to RE/MAX of Boulder's VAULT where I can find pre-MLS listings from over 100 agents
Schedule, on your behalf, to tour properties on days and times that work for you
Navigate legal contracts to ensure you are being taken care of, not taken advantage of, when purchasing a home
Aware of ever-changing local and federal laws that are pertinent to home buying
Help you negotiate the best price and best terms so you aren't overpaying for a home
As your buyer's agents I don't collect commission from you - that is already negotiated with the seller's agent and seller. There are no out-of-pocket costs to working together.

BUYING YOUR HOME
Let's do this!
There is a process to buying a home, that can be simplified with the help of your real estate agent.
Step 1: Let me know when you are ready to start looking.
Step 2: I can recommend a few lenders so you can get pre-approved for a mortgage.
Step 3: We'll go over the perfect house in detail and I will get back to you with available properties. I will continue to sending you possible properties until we find the right one.
Step 4: We get to do the fun part of looking at properties. We can do this as long as you need. My priority is making sure you find the right home.
Step 5: Once you ' ve found your dream house, we will discuss the property and the market to determine the right price to offer.
Step 6: After an offer is accepted, you'll go into a 30-45 day contract period, while your lender works to secure the full loan.
Step 7: During Step 6, home inspections and appraisals are conducted.
Step 8: We will work together to negotiate repair requests for items you'd prefer be taken care of by the seller.
Step 9: If all conditions have been met for your mortgage approval and all parties have agreed to negotiations, then you get to make your way to the closing table. Yay!
Step 10: After the final purchase contract has been signed at the title company, you get to move into your dream home!
