The Home Buying Process

Buying a home is one of your greatest investments. Going through the process without representation can be exhausting and can leave money on the table. You may be wondering what all is necessary to go through the process. Committing to a real estate professional can help you come out on top. We are here to help you get the best deal and guide you through the process


Representation

Unless you are buying a property that is for sale by owner, the seller has professional representation on their side. By negotiating directly with the seller's agent, you put yourself at a severe disadvantage. The seller's agent is legally bound to share everything you tell them in order to get the best deal for their client.


You wouldn't go into a courtroom without a lawyer, so why risk the biggest purchase in your life in buying a home without representation?


Information

While there are a variety of online resources for finding homes for sale, there are no consumer websites that provide home sales data in the Austin area. This information is only available to REALTORS through our membership with the local Multiple Listing Service. While many consumers look to Zillow for this information in other areas, Zillow does NOT have the actual prices of homes that sold in the Austin area.


The only way to determine the correct price of a home is to analyze the prices at which similar homes recently sold in the same neighborhood.


Experience

When you have an experienced Buyer's Agent working for you their primary job is to keep you from making a mistake.


The knowledge we gain from working with so many clients throughout our career is invaluable when it comes to helping you pick the right Austin-area house, on the right street, and in the right neighborhood. This experience also comes into play when we negotiate on your behalf as armed with intimate knowledge of the pros and cons of similar homes recently sold.


Once you are under contract to purchase a home, my team will help you locate a great inspector, negotiate repairs with the seller, get estimates from trustworthy contractors and obtain financing from the most reputable lenders.
