BUYER PRESENTATION AND AGREEMENT

Congratulations on embarking on your journey toward owning a home in New York and the neighboring areas! I have had the pleasure of assisting numerous clients in locating their ideal homes, and I'm eager to do the same for you. The key to a successful property purchase is being well-informed from the start, allowing you to move forward with confidence. Leveraging my extensive knowledge of the local area, I aim to remove any uncertainties you might have about this significant decision and help you identify the neighborhoods that align with your way of life. I'm excited to support you through each phase of this journey, ensuring a smooth and straightforward experience. Let's begin the search for your dream home!

Here's the plan for our first meeting. Feel free to suggest any other topics you'd like us to discuss.

Leveraging years of expertise in real estate, our team has converted an extensive understanding of New York's distinct neighborhoods and market dynamics into over $10 billion in residential sales. We enhance the home search process with cutting-edge technologies and digital tools, aiming to seamlessly find your ideal location and welcome you home.

My team and I have created this informative graphic to illustrate what you can expect from the home-buying journey.

Should you require financing, we're here to assist you with obtaining pre-approval. We have connections with premier lenders who can offer the most suitable financing options tailored to your specific needs.

Here's additional information about making an offer on a potential home. As we consider a purchase price, these criteria will guide our evaluation. Our offer package will encompass a purchase contract, a pre-approval letter, proof of funds, and signed disclosures.

We can suggest 3-5 contractors who are willing to visit the property and offer an invaluable external assessment of its condition. We strongly advise taking this step to ensure you fully understand what you're purchasing.

After your offer is accepted, the process of closing on the home starts. Here are the usual steps:

- It's important to note that closing costs often range from 3 to 6% of the loan amount.

- Typically, the process begins within one business day after the purchase agreement is accepted. Your initial deposit, as outlined in the contract, is then placed into a designated account. The period from the acceptance of the offer to the recording of the ownership transfer generally lasts between 21 to 45 days, though purchases made entirely in cash may close faster.

To add value to our service, we offer a complimentary home warranty for the first year you own your home. Here’s more detail on what’s included for you.

The NAR Settlement addresses allegations of anti-competitive behavior in real estate broker commissions, with NAR and major real estate companies agreeing to pay $418 million to settle the claims and implement changes in commission rules. Sellers may see more transparent and negotiable commission structures, potentially giving them more control over payments to listing and buyer agents, though the total fees paid by sellers may remain similar. Buyer agents may now be compensated directly by buyers, or sellers may cover their fees. These changes aim to increase transparency and marketability for sellers while requiring buyers to sign agreements detailing their agent's compensation. Practices will evolve based on market conditions.

Real estate agents are typically compensated through commission fees, which are a percentage of the selling price of a property. In most cases, sellers are responsible for paying these fees to both the listing agent and the buyer's agent. When a home seller signs a listing agreement, they agree to pay these agents a percentage of the final selling price, commonly ranging from 5% to 6%. The listing agent typically splits this commission with the buyer's agent, often in a 50/50 split, though this can vary. The commission structure is included in the listing information on the local Multiple Listing Service. With the recent settlement, there is a push for increased visibility and transparency in how real estate agents are compensated, potentially leading to changes where buyer agents may be compensated directly by buyers, or sellers may cover their fees.
