Counseling with the Buyer

Counseling with the Buyer is a process that occurs prior, during and after the sale. It begins with our initial phone call, at our first appointment, continues through the transaction process and after the sale. Counseling and preparing you is part of my buyer agent services.

Comparative Sold Properties

I will help you make an educated and informed decision on price. This alone may overcome many objections you may have. By showing you recent comparable sold properties, you will understand the current market conditions and thus helping you make a strong offer. In fact, a great tool is the John L. Scott Comparable Sold Property Search on the website. This, along with a detailed Comparable Market Analysis will assist you in preparing an offer.

Neighborhood, Community and School Information

Through the John L. Scott Community Detail Pages and my knowledge of the area, you will be informed on the neighborhood, community, and schools. By accessing the John L. Scott Community Information Pages, you will be able to make an informed and educated decision on the right neighborhood, community and school.

Communicating and Working with the Listing Agent

It is very important to develop a good working relationship with the listing agent. This begins on the very first call to the listing agent requesting information on the property. I will call the listing agent for documents relating to the property including the Property Disclosure, Lead Based Paint Disclosure, Legal Description and any other information you request of the property.

Title and Escrow

I will recommend a Title and Escrow Company that best meets the needs of you and your transaction. I have an established relationship with many of the companies in the area that will provide us with timely updates and make sure your transaction is on track.

Plat Map, Well and Septic

It is very important to collect all information about the property in order to help you prepare your offer. These may include plat maps and documents from the Health Department or County pertaining to septic designs and well tests.

Answering Your Questions

At any time during the home buying process, if you have questions pertaining to a property, the transaction, or the process itself, I will make sure we take the time to answer all your questions to your satisfaction.
