"Jamie expertly handled the sale of our first home and the purchase of our current one, all during a very difficult period in the market. My husband and I were continually impressed with Jamie's dedication, skill and commitment in dealing with both transactions and always felt well taken care of throughout the process. She is extremely professional and reliable, which is why we are very pleased to recommend Jamie, without hesitation, for your real estate needs."
Carolyn Blackwood- President, Warner Brothers/New Line Cinema
"My husband and I are certain that, without Jamie’s persistence and professionalism, we would not now be living in our dream home. Without a doubt, her relationships in the industry, and willingness to go the extra mile ensured a smooth closing and, more importantly, helped us secure the perfect home for our family while also selling our prior home swiftly during a difficult market. We recommend Jamie confidently, without hesitation."
Jenna Sanz-Agero- Senior Attorney for Development, Netflix

The best part about Jamie is how personable she is... she is a friend, and holds her friend's interests close to heart. In a landscape of uncertainty, she will make you feel confident and secure. All this with a smile...I can't ask for more."

AMAZING TESTIMONIALS
"Let's just say that there were plenty of times that I gave up on getting our home purchase completed, but thank goodness Jamie never did. I was having to handle this mind-numbing transaction from Louisiana, so needless to say Jamie was instrumental in not only finding the perfect home but also working with the seller's agent and the mortgage company in my absence. I remember saying over and over that this deal will never happen, while Jamie continued to make sure it did. So to Jamie, thanks for never giving up and making this happen."
Vince Morella- CPA/Executive Producer"We were thrilled to work with Jamie Austin when searching for our forever home. She was diligent, thorough, and proactive throughout the process. Jamie was patient with our needs and decisions, and supported us every step of the way. We highly recommend Jamie when looking to buy, or sell, property. She is very professional and does a phenomenal job advocating for her clients."
Jeremy O’Day- Chief Technical Officer of FathomLoop"Jamie is a pro! We bought our new home with Jamie on a recommendation from a friend. We were buying from out of state, during high Covid restrictions and knew that we might not be able to be there for every step of the process; so we absolutely needed someone we could trust. Well, I am happy to say, Jamie more than exceeded our hopes. She not only helped us find the perfect home, she helped us countless times along the way, so that we could focus on the stress of preparing for shutting down our lives, selling our home and coordinating the move. Without a doubt, we will work with Jamie again should the need arise."

MAKING AN OFFER
Once you have found the property you want, we will write a purchase agreement. While much of the agreement is standard, there are a few areas that we can negotiate.
The Price
What you offer on a property depends on a number of factors, including its condition, length of time on the market, buyer activity, and urgency of the seller.
Additional Property
The Move-In Date
If you can be flexible on the possession date, the seller will be more apt to choose your offer over others. This a key factor when obtaining your future home.
Often, the seller plans on leaving major appliances in the home; however, which items stay or go is often a matter of negotiation. Typically, you will not be present at the offer presentation - we will present it to the listing agent and/or seller. The seller will then do one of the following:
Accept the offer
Reject the offer
Counter the offer with changes
By far the most common is the counteroffer. In these cases, my experience and negotiating skills become powerful in representing your best interests. When a counteroffer is presented, you and I will work together to review each specific area of it, making sure that we move forward with your goals in mind and ensuring that we negotiate the best possible price and terms on your behalf.

Own It
Transfer of title moves ownership of the property from the seller to you. The two events that make this happen are:
• Delivery Of The Buyers Funds
This is the check or wire funds provided by your lender in the amount of the loan.
• Delivery Of The Deed
deed is the document that transfers ownership of real estate. The deed names the seller and buyer, gives a legal description of the property, and contains the notarized signatures of the seller and witnesses. At the end of closing, the deed will be taken and recorded at the county clerk’s office. It will be sent to you after processing.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How will you tell me about new homes available?
The Multiple Listing Service Website provides up-to-date information for every home on the market. I constantly check the New on Market list so I can be on the lookout for my clients. I will get you this information right away, the way that is most convenient for you; by phone and/or
Can you help me find new construction homes?
Yes, I can work with most builders and get you the information you need to make a decision. On your first visit with the builder, I will accompany you. By using my services with a new construction home purchase, you will receive the services I offer, as well as those provided by the builder, at no additional cost.
How does for sale by owner (FSBO) work?
Homeowners trying to sell their home without agent representation are usually doing so in the hopes of saving the commission. If you see a FSBO and want the advantages of my services, let me contact the owner for you and make an appointment. Most times the homeowner will work with an agent, even though their home is not listed, since the agent is introducing a potential buyer to their property.
Will you inform me of homes from all real estate companies or only Keller Williams Realty?
I will keep you informed of all homes. I want to help you find your dream home, which means I need to stay on top of every home that's available on the market.
Can we go back through our property again once an offer is made, but before possession?
Usually, I can notify the seller and schedule a convenient time to visit the property again. Immediately before the closing, I will schedule a final walk-through and inspection of your new home.
Once my offer is accepted, what should I do?
Once all applicable inspections are completed, celebrate and focus on moving into your new home! You will want to schedule your move, pack items and notify businesses of your address change. I will provide you with a moving checklist to help you remember all the details. I will also give you a good faith estimate and HUD statement, which will indicate the amount you will need to bring to closing.
