We listen carefully to your needs and preferences. We will not waste your time showing you properties that are not relevant to your needs. We will make sure you understand what the market conditions are in the neighborhoods you are interested in, and how aggressively we need to negotiate.
We help you make an informed choice about home values and neighborhoods in Montgomery County.
How Do We Find the Right Home?
We will make sure you have all the information you need to determine if a home is right for you: schools, neighborhood, home values, etc. Well priced homes are getting multiple offers, so you need an aggressive agent who is on top of the market. Most of our buyers look for homes on the internet, you can use this site to search for homes for sale in Montgomery County.
How Do We Make a Winning Offer?
My clients will tell you that we are available 24/7 to show you the home and write the offer. We know how to write a strong offer and how to negotiate to get you the best value for your money. Some neighborhoods in Bethesda, Potomac, North Potomac, Gaithersburg, Kensington and Chevy Chase have homes that sell quickly. Other neighborhoods in Germantown, Silver Spring and Clarksburg have a high proportion of short sales and foreclosures which may or may not be priced aggressively to sell.
How Do We Find Financing?
There are so many financing options available besides the traditional 30 year fixed and ARMs. You need to understand the scope of your options and the pros & cons of different financing programs. We will refer you to qualified mortgage companies and help you evaluate the different products they offer. Once you are prequalified, you are ready to make an offer on the home of your dreams. We will also give you all the details on the closing costs and cash needed for the offers you may make.
Who Manages all the Details Until Settlement?
Our team will stay on top of all the details, from the appraisal and financing to the final walkthrough. We will make sure that all of the contingencies are completely satisfied before settlement. We accompany you on your home and/or radon inspection. We can help you interpret all the details of the home inspection report. If any issues crop up, we are there to advocate for you. We will also review the settlement papers before we walk into the settlement together.
Why Do You Need Buyer Representation when Purchasing a Brand New Home?
When buying a new home, it is to your advantage to have an experienced negotiator and evaluator of home value on your side. We can advise you about the developer/builders track record. We will help you find a superior home inspector for the pre-drywall and settlement inspections. We can advise you as to which options add the most value to your new home. We have experience with new construction in Clarksburg, new homes in Germantown and Boyds, new luxury homes in Darnestown, and new condos in Montgomery County. With our extensive experience we might ask some relevant questions of the builder you might overlook. And best of all, we can rebate you part of the builders' commission if you are also selling your home with our team.
