INITIAL CONSULTATION
The initial consultation will usually last anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes. During this time, we will explore your needs and wants, discuss your financing options, and ultimately ensure that you have clear expectations throughout the home buying process. We will also establish an agency relationship, should we elect to work together.
ESTABLISH FINANCING
By getting pre-approved for a mortgage loan, you will get a definitive answer for how much a bank or lender will lend to you. This will allow both you and your REALTOR® to understand your maximum budget, so that you can focus on the right homes during your home search. Unless, of course, you plan to purchase with cash. A pre-approval letter or verification of funds to purchase is a requisite to purchasing a home.
HOME SEARCH
Throughout your search for your dream home, your REALTOR® will provide you all for sale listings available through the Multiple Listing Service that best match your criteria and budget. Additionally, your REALTOR® will monitor off-market listings, pocket listings and properties being offered For Sale By Owner to help you identify the perfect home. We will then preview the most suitable properties that meet your needs.
MAKE AN OFFER
Upon finding a home that you are interested in purchasing, it's time to make an offer. Your REALTOR® will help guide you through the steps of submitting an offer, including determining an appropriate offer price and terms based on recent comparable sales, the terms of your loan, and other pertinent criteria. Once your offer is drafted, your REALTOR® will present your offer on your behalf. Typically, the seller will either accept your offer, reject your offer, or propose a counter offer.
THE ESCROW PROCESS
Once you have successfully submitted an offer and received an acceptance, the escrow process begins. During this time, a title search will provide a historical review of all legal documents related to the property ownership to ensure there are no legal claims against the title of the property, so that title insurance can be issued. Escrow will also ensure that any outstanding liens are released before the sale of the property is complete.
This is also the time period where you will receive any relevant disclosures pertaining to the property for you to review and for you to have your home inspection conducted, as well as for your lender to have the home appraisal conducted.
TIME TO CLOSE
You have completed your home inspection and appraisal, the title search has determined that there are no legal claims against title that would prohibit a title insurance policy being issued, and your lender has fully approved your loan and you have remitted the funds for your down payment and closing costs. It is time to close on your home!
Upon receipt of all funds to close and authorization from all parties involved (buyer, seller, lender) the escrow company will submit to the county recorder's office for confirmation of recording, making you a new home owner!
Wow, what can I say! This was my first time purchasing a home and Eric was there by my side the whole time. The closing process was tough and made me very anxious. He was there to comfort me and let me know all was going to be OK! WE finally closed and I could not be more happier. Eric has been so great and very informative. He knows his stuff real well! He went out of his way when I was sick to make sure Title got the EMD. He was freaking awesome and I highly recommend! Thanks for everything ERIC!!
Eric was a great realtor to use for our first time buying a home, he had great knowledge of the area and was on top of any questions we had!!!! We would recommend Eric to all of our family and friends who are looking to buy a home. Even after the sell was final, he was still very communicative and called a few days later to check and make sure things were up to par. Will definitely utilize Eric for any future real estate deals.
It may seem difficult to find a real estate agent that ultimately has your best interests at heart. However, it was easy to do so with Eric. He does not push you into making any decisions. He will provide you with all of the facts you need to make an informed decision. Eric was always available to work around my chaotic schedule or answer any ridiculous question I may have had with complete honesty. He was able to find me a great home at a great value, and I would highly recommend Eric to anyone who is looking to do the same.
Bret was great to deal with. Whenever we had a question he would respond to us very quickly via text or phone call. Bret was very patient and low pressure. His office staff was also excellent to deal with.
What can I say......this was my first time buying a house and didn't have a clue. Got in touch with Bret through a good friend of mine and well, Bret was very professional, knowledgeable and is now one of my many fiends! Good person and down to earth....Bret is very helpful I am so grateful that my friend referred him to me that I am telling everyone that wants to buy a house Bret is the man that can take care of everything and make the process go smoothly!
Bret is amazing! I initiated the process thinking finding a new home would take the better part of a year. Not so. Within two months he helped me find my perfect home - and not for lack of looking. I feel a bit guilty at how many changes in direction, and thus homes we actually looked at. Bret was beyond professional, in fact very gracious to accommodate me. Thankfully, he was also very knowledgeable - all I had to do was show up and sign. He organized and explained everything. Thank you so very much Bret!
Bret worked very hard on finding our house. He was professional and polite. Not only was he on time, he always answered all of our calls at any time of any day. I have recommended him not only to my best of friends, but to my family as well, and I will do business with him again.
