Working With Jim to Buy Your Home

The very first thing you NEED to know is that my services to all buyers are free. I do not charge a fee or commission to help you with the entire process. I am paid by home sellers when I help you find the perfect home. So... relax, and take advantage of my services!

Buyers often ask to review the 'buying steps'... so forgive me if this may seem too basic, I just want you to be comfortable with the entire process:)

I typically chat with you by phone first to discuss what you're looking for in your home and answer any initial questions. I'll then meet with you to go over the market information and answer your questions. I understand that it's a big step and you may have a lot of questions. I'll also do my best to anticipate the questions you may not know to ask as well. Although you'll be spending time with me, you'll also get the behind-the-scenes team work of my Broker with over 22 years of experience!

When I take my clients out to tour homes, the first thing I do is sit down with you and go over what it is you want in a home. We'll look at the listings online together (or they can be emailed to you) and you can choose the homes you'd like to view.

Once we go out and actually tour through some homes, I'll have a better feel for what you like and don't like. You will also have a better idea... because as you get more familiar with what is available to you, you may find yourself fine tuning your original criteria. It is a changing process and it is fun to see how it will lead you to the home that's perfect for you. It's a fun and exciting time and I enjoy helping my clients get into their first home!

I will make recommendations, set up showings, give you my opinions and help provide you with information about the properties, as well as negotiate the best offer when we find the perfect home. Once we find your home, I'll write the offer with you and help you with the negotiation of the terms. I'll also assist you with setting up any inspections, appraisals, and the closing. Finally, I'll be there at the closing, and congratulate you on your new home:)

I will be honest with you and share with you my experience in the market about the properties you are interested in but I don't believe that being "pushy" gets anywhere. There is no place for that in how I do business and I don't appreciate it when it is done to me. We'll find a home in your time frame when you feel completely comfortable!

If you would please call me at 952.934.2035, I would like to chat with you further about your expectations, wants and needs. It will help me get a better feel for what you want, where specifically you would like to focus your search and allow me to do a more professional job for you. I'm ready to get started... so give me a call:)
