Let’s Talk!

It’s easy to contact me by phone, email, or social media to schedule an initial consultation.  Prompt responses are one of my trademarks.

Working with Real Estate Agents

In North Carolina, it's the law!  Licensees must provide you a Working with Real Estate Agents brochure to determine how you would like to be represented in your real estate transaction.  If you would like additional information or to request a copy for digital signatures we can get right to work.  Let's get started!

Initial Consultation

Our focus during this time is to identify your real estate goals. We’ll clarify top priorities and list essential features you’re looking for in a property.  We’ll also discuss local market information, and I’ll answer any questions you have about moving forward.

Mortgage Preapproval or Proof of Funds Letter  

An understanding of ownership costs helps shape your real estate search. It’s customary to present documentation that you have sufficient financial resources with any offer to purchase.  I’m happy to work with a lender you choose, or if you’d like recommendations, I can provide them during our initial consultation. You can also visit our Resource Center at any time.  

Property Selection

We’ll utilize a variety of tools to organize our search.  The easiest way to start online is by setting up search parameters and guidelines for listing alerts on this website. At each step, I’m here to help.  When we locate properties you want to visit, I’ll arrange appointments with the seller’s agent and accompany you on all walkthroughs.

Property Analysis (Comparative Market Analysis)

After we find just the right property, one that meets your real estate goals, and you’re ready to make an offer, I’ll prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA). This report indicates a likely selling price range. We can discuss the amount you’ll offer, consider best ways to negotiate with the seller, and develop a timeline for conducting due diligence when accepted.

Offer to Purchase

Based on the decisions you’ve made, I’ll prepare the necessary buyer’s documents for you to sign and present them to the seller’s agent.      

Negotiation

Once an offer is submitted, expect negotiations to begin. It’s not out of the ordinary for a counter offer or series of counters before the respective parties come to an agreement.  

Due Diligence

When we have a binding contract, I’ll work hand in hand with you and third party providers to keep the due diligence process flowing smoothly.  Our Resource Center provides the names of vendors who can perform inspections and answer questions as they arise.

Closing

After due diligence is complete, I’ll coordinate with your loan officer, if there’s a mortgage, and with your attorney’s office to make sure the necessary paperwork and documents are being prepared.  I’ll also review the HUD closing statement with you and accompany you to the closing. Once the deed is in your name, congratulations!  It’s time to celebrate.
