HOW WE WORK FOR YOU, THE BUYER:
1.    Tell us your most important considerations in selecting a home.

2.    We will search for homes by:
ü    Reading all homes for sale advertising
ü    Driving selected neighborhoods
ü    Calling for-sale-by-owner homes
ü    Contacting expired listings
ü    Checking company listings
ü    Searching other real estate office listings 

We will be glad to make appointments to show you those homes that meet your criteria and appeal to you, or give you the addresses so that you can do a preliminary drive-by evaluation.  You can then call us if you would like to take a look inside.

 

WHETHER YOU FIND A HOME BY:

  - Seeing an ad in the paper

  - Driving by any "For Sale" sign

  - Visiting an open house

  - Hearing about a home for sale

 We can assist you in buying
any of them!

 

BUYER´S COMMITMENT

 "We preview homes every day.  Every day we´ll be out there looking for a home that meets your needs and wants.  If we´re going to take this time to work for you, will you make a commitment to have us exclusively represent you in buying your new home?  This means that if you see another broker´s sign on a house that interests you, you´ll call us first and we´ll get the information you need.  If you go to an open house and like it, you´ll call us to find out more or present an offer. 

If we commit to you, then we ask that you commit to us."
