Why Do You Need A Realtor?
A Realtor brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the business of buying a home. In fact, a licensed real estate professional provides much more than just helping you find the home of your dreams. Realtors are not just sales agents. They are expert negotiators, seasoned financial advisors, and superb navigators of local neighborhoods. They are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and must abide by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice enforced by the NAR. A professional Realtor is your best resource in the home buying process.

The Home Buying Process
Choosing an Agent – Choosing an agent to guide you through the home buying process is as important as the actual purchase of the home.
Getting Pre-Approved – In today’s home buying environment, obtaining a mortgage pre approval is not only essential, it is easy to obtain.
A mortgage pre-approval lets you know exactly what you can afford to buy and helps us to narrow down homes to show you. It also gives you a head start in the loan commitment process. We have partners in the mortgage lending field that we can connect you to.
Creating a Wish List – This step is extremely important, almost every home purchase involves some degree of compromise. It is important to prioritize your wants and needs before we begin the home search. There are many variables depending on your lifestyle, budget, and future plans. Some things to consider may include;
Location – The Treasure Coast offers many great neighborhoods, each with its own character. Consider what is important to you: school, neighborhood amenities, shops, parks, gated developments, or properties with acreage.
Type of home – A great diversity of homes exists: single family homes, condominiums, town homes, new construction, vintage homes, re-sale homes, and fixer uppers. You most likely have a preference and should weigh the pros and cons of each type.
Featured amenities – Garage parking, hardwood floors, fireplace, outdoor space. These decisions drive you to purchase one home versus another. While making your pro and con lists, some additional things to consider are: resale value, your daily routine, and the cost of changes down the road.

View Properties – We will schedule showings and accompany you on each appointment. When you walk through a home, some things to consider: how the space functions for your lifestyle, what is included in the total square footage (balcony or garage), and in new construction, which features are upgrades and what are standard.
Open Houses – Remember, if you are attending open houses with us, be sure to mention you are being represented by a real estate agent.
