We Don't just sell houses, we sell a lifestyle.

View several properties, analyze your wants and needs. Review at least ten properties with your agent and seek advice as much as possible, from your agent, families, friends and work colleagues.

Closing dates are not written in stone. Allow for contingencies and have a back-up plan. If you or the sellers need a little more time to conclude the final arrangements, don’t let these delays upset or frustrate you. These types of circumstances are not uncommon in a real estate transaction.

Check out all costs and expenses before you sign, including utilities, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and home owner dues if applicable. Make sure all utilities (gas, electricity, and water) are on during your walk-through so you can inspect everything in working order. Ask lots of questions and be very detail conscious.

Use everyone who is involved in the transaction, your agent, your mortgage broker, everyone. Use them as much as possible and explore beyond the limit before you sign anything.

Be open, honest and up front with your team. Hard feelings and disloyalty will cause headaches, delays or may even keep you from getting into the home you worked so hard to locate. Take the time to select the right team in the beginning and your first home purchase will be a pleasing and memorable experience.
