Buyer Consultation

Service Description

Buying a home is a major investment, and I'm here to make it seamless. Backed by the Guy Blume Group's expertise and resources, I'll guide you every step of the way. Step 1: Initial Consultation This is where it all begins. I sit down with you to learn your goals, timeline, must-haves, and deal-breakers. This conversation shapes everything that follows, so the sooner we connect, the better positioned you'll be. Step 2: Get Pre-Approved A mortgage pre-approval establishes your price range, strengthens your offers, and speeds up closing. I can connect you with trusted local lenders, or you're welcome to use your own. Step 3: Sign a Buyer Representation Agreement This formalizes our working relationship and legally obligates me to act in your best interest throughout the process. Step 4: Find Your Home I leverage MLS access, local expertise, and our team's professional network to find properties that match your criteria, sometimes before they hit the market. Step 5: Make an Offer I run a Comparative Market Analysis, draft your offer with the right terms and contingencies, and negotiate on your behalf to get you the best deal. Step 6: Earnest Money & Due Diligence Once the seller accepts, you deliver earnest money (typically 1%-3%) to escrow. From there, I coordinate inspections, the appraisal, a title search, and any repair negotiations to protect your investment. Step 7: Secure Financing & Insurance Your lender finalizes underwriting during this period. Respond promptly to document requests and avoid major financial changes. Step 8: Closing Day Final walk-through, sign your documents, pay closing costs (typically 2%-5%), and receive the keys. **Congratulations, you're a homeowner!** After Closing I'm still here for you: contractor referrals, market updates, and guidance for whatever comes next.
