Giving information on how to be a successful buyer in such a tough market might be a tricky post. It is truly my ultimate goal to make you successful. If you win, I win! It's simple! So, I will be paying attention to what you say, because it is important! After all, this will be your purchase, not mine. But, ultimately, listening must be a two way street. I can go to work and find you what you want, but you may only be able to acquire it if you listen to me to! It sounds like fun right? I love this job!
OK, here I go on my little soapbox. There is no making sense of this market. No rhyme...no reason...no easy to follow rules. Sorry. But, if I prepare you for the worst,we can't lose right?
Imagine calling a real estate agent because you think you are ready to buy a home (I'm still waiting patiently for your call by the way!). You immediately want to go see homes because that's the fun part! Maybe something sparked your interest...an advertisement, a sign etc. Let me ask a seemingly unrelated question here for just a second. What's your favorite food? (Go ahead...take your time to pick). Now...imagine me holding that just outside of your mouth, but close enough to smell! How long would you trust me...or like me for that matter? The old saying "holding a sugar cube in front of the horse" (no, I'm not calling you a horse) applies here. Truly, that's what I would be doing if I took you out to see homes immediately! I would be setting you up for failure...and me for that matter.
This market is a fast paced market no matter what you are being told. There are some great deals out there. But homes are still going for very close if not more than the appraised value..and usually there are multiple offers on every home. Homes are being sold very quickly and if you are not prepared mentally and financially to purchase the day you go to look at homes, you will miss the boat every time. It is part of my job to equip and prepare you before I take you out into this big bad world of real estate, or we will all look like dogs chasing our tails! (I personally get dizzy going round and round, so it is not my favorite thing to do!)
I can and will prepare you for the market and all its many pitfalls. I know how to help you be successful, and will give the service I would expect someone to give me in purchasing a home...or anything else for that matter. I love taking care of my clients...It makes me who I am.
Quick, like a bunny, call me! I look forward to hearing from you soon!
