Here's an overview of what you can expect during the buying process and working with us.

First, unless you're a cash buyer, you'll want to be pre-approved for a loan. Be sure to choose a lender that is local and understands our market. I always recommend talking to a few lenders to understand the different terms & programs they can offer you. 

Here's a list of amazing mortgage professionals I've worked with in the past. You can call or email any of them to get started with the pre-approval process. Make sure you mention I referred you, you just might get a faster response.

If you're not already familiar with the intricate interplay of districts and neighborhoods, here is an overview of these districts. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Data, data, data! I send monthly market reports to my clients so you're in the know of the latest trends. When it's time to prepare your offer, we'll micro down on these metrics to best inform you on what the property should sell for.

There are several methods we use to find the right home for you. To start, I'll set you up with a property alert which will email you when new prospects hit the market. If you have any feedback, questions, or showing requests, you can communicate them to me through this tool. 

Every week I preview new and coming soon listings on your behalf, recommend open houses for you to attend, and arrange private showings for you. If you find a property on your own that looks interesting, send me the address so I can investigate.

When preparing your offer, you'll need to make some big decisions. The purchase price is a major one, but you'll also have to think about other terms like inspections and contingency periods. When the time comes, I'll guide you through the purchase agreement and advise you on writing the winning offer.

Here's a sample of the Purchase Agreement so you can familiarize yourself before writing offers.

What happens if you get your offer accepted and then discover something negative during your inspection period? Can you cancel the contract? What happens to your deposit? These types of questions are very common and important.  

Buyers should read and understand the "Liquidated Damages" and "Arbitration/Mediation" paragraphs in the Purchase Agreement.

You've found the perfect home- now what? The next step is contacting me for the disclosure package so you can begin due diligence.  

State and city laws require specific seller disclosures to be part of every property transfer. All of them are important to read, although many of them are generic advisories used state-wide for all types of listings. Sellers provide their knowledge of the property by filling out a Transfer Disclosure Statement and other supporting forms; they may also choose to provide various inspections, such as a pest/termite inspection or a home inspection. 

It's my job to help guide you through the seller disclosures and to advise you on how to do your due diligence. Here's the table contents for what you should expect to see in a standard disclosure package for a single family home.

The term 'closing costs' basically means how much it costs a buyer to do the deal. Bulked into this term are: lender fees, escrow fees, title insurance, pro-rated property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and pro-rated HOA dues (if applicable). 

Here's an example of what an Estimated Buyer's Settlement Statement looks like. Of course, each estimate is different based on the property details, downpayment amount, and month of close (for tax pro-ration purposes). Upon acceptance, you put your deposit into escrow, and then just before the close date, you'll need to come up with the remaining funds, which includes the balance of your downpayment and all of the fees. I explain all of this as we go. 

And here's some good news: buyers typically don't pay any commission for agent representation - that's usually a seller fee.

If you're not already familiar with how the fiscal year works in terms of property taxes, here's a handy chart. Some lenders may require that the borrower/buyer set up "impound accounts" at the close of escrow, which means that a monthly amount is added to your mortgage payment to cover your yearly property tax bill. 

Some buyers like this arrangement because it breaks up the tax payments into monthly amounts and the lender sends the funds to the assessor; but if you choose to decline impound accounts, then your tax bill is mailed to you directly, and it's due twice a year. Don't be late, because there are stiff penalties for delinquent payments.

Single? Married? Sole ownership? Joint tenants? Community property? Right of Survivorship? Your type of ownership taken, also known as 'vesting of title' will dictate how you sign your closing papers and record the transaction.  

Here's a great informational brochure explaining the common ways to hold title.
