Early StagesThe Home Buying System1. Who represents you? I would be honored to be your real estate coach!

2. How much house can you afford?

3. What type of home and location are you looking for? What are your top 5 needs and wants?

4. How do we coordinate viewing properties?

5. How do we prepare and present the offer?

6. What is the Buyer Agreement?

How Much House Can You Afford?

How much do you feel comfortable spending? What will the monthly cost be?

Advantages of Prequalifying:

1. You know exactly how much home you can afford

2. You get the best financing

3. You can make a quicker, stronger offer!

Be A Saavy Home Buyer!What Type of Home and Neighborhood are you looking for?

• The Buyer Profile

• Wants and Needs Analysis matches available properties to you! I send you only the homes that match your criteria.

• The MLS Map

• MLX email Notification

Viewing Properties1. Please always text, call, or email me promptly for information and appointments. Properties move quickly in Colorado, and every hour of every day counts in a competitive market!

2. Please do not call the seller or the listing agent directly.

3. Give me the details available i.e. address, MLS #, etc. and I’ll get the information quickly.

4. When visiting an Open House, I ask that you leave one of my business cards and/or sign in as working with me.

5. In most instances, I will take you to view homes myself. I find this greatly enhances the home buying experience for you.

When You Find The Home You Want...... I will:1. Analyze the selling circumstances and comparable sales and recommend an offer strategy.

2. Prepare an offer with you that meets your needs and is also competitive in the current market .

3. Present the offer on your behalf to the seller or the seller’s agent.

4. Negotiate all the terms and conditions of the offer in your best interest.

I do all of this free of charge and just ask for your loyalty.

How I Get Paid

Because the Seller or Builder pays my fees,

you don’t pay me for my services!

1. MLS Property Listing: preset %

2. New Home Builders: preset %

3. For Sale By Owners: negotiated
