Buyers & Sellers of Real Estate

Buying Procedure

First - Get Qualified

It is very important to contact a mortgage lender. A local lender will provide for a smooth hassle free process. I frequently work with Dean Vaughan of Carteret Mortgage Corporation. His toll free number is 888-482-2607.

You can be qualified over the phone within 5 minutes. This will determine your exact price range parameters. The lender can explain the mortgage programs available to you, and give you a very precise estimate of closing costs. You can also determine how much money you will need as a down payment.

Second - Check The Inventory

Having determined what your price range is, I can advise you of available properties within your price range. At our first meeting we can review the multiple listing information for all of the qualifying properties. At this time you can decide which properties are desirable to you.

Third - Make A Selection

Once your price and location have been determined, we are ready to preview properties that meet your needs. When you find the home that is right for you, we will then write a purchase offer. I will explain each additional step throughout the buying process to assure a pleasant experience.

I am looking forward to working with you!

Selling Procedure

First - Determine Value

Call me to set up an appointment to determine the value of your property. I will discuss all comparable listings and recent sales with you. Remember, market value is not the same as appraised value, therefore, a REALTOR® will supply you with the price a buyer is willing to pay for your property in today's market.

Second - Make Repairs

Sometimes you may need to make some repairs to your property before offering it for sale. I will give suggestions to make your home more appealing to potential buyers. Examples include, fresh paint, clean windows, power washing, carpet cleaning, etc... The smallest of things sometime make a big difference. First impressions are very important to buyers.

Third - Sell Your Home

Now it's time for you to sit back and let me sell your property. I will handle all pre-qualifying, schedule showings, advertising, marketing, negotiating, paperwork, scheduling inspections, and assist in the settlement process.

I take pride in the professional manner that I present myself and the service I provide to my clients assures them of a successful and pleasant real estate experience.
