Buying a home is exciting and hopeful. It symbolizes a new beginning for you and your family. Selecting the home that will fit your individual needs is a big decision and can be confusing as you begin the evaluation process. In addition to finding your dream home and determining your property requirements, the process also involves - determining what you can afford
- how much down payment you will need
- finding a lender
- evaluating market prices and neighborhoods
- negotiating an offer
- getting inspections
- navigating the escrow process
This is where the expertise of a knowledgeable and experienced real estate professional can make the process efficient and easy for you. At Prudential California Realty, we have access to every home on the market and can show you any home available. We also have access to detailed reports to help narrow down your search so you won’t waste time on properties that are not what you are looking for. We look at comparable sales to determine values in the marketplace with your best interest in mind. We work for you as your real estate agent and negotiate the best deal for you. What I Offer BuyersWhen I work with the buyer, I become “your buyer agent” and I assume the role of a knowledge resource and troubleshooter. I provide information that will help you along the way to make informed decisions, while trying to spot issues that may cause delays or effect those decisions. My goal is to keep you fully informed and facilitate protecting your interest during the buying process. As a buyer, you take a large role in this process, since your needs are the determining factor in completing the service that I provide to you. I view myself as a host to present you with options and opportunities. I will help you search for your new home and present listings for your review and keep you updated with the latest information on new opportunities. You will be able to search our current MLS and select homes that are of interest. I will obtain additional information, if necessary, to determine the existence of any special circumstances in effect or disclosures on the property that are available.
I will be a second set of eyes to learn more about your requirements and preferences as the process moves along, which will help in my efforts to target opportunities that will be appropriate for your needs. We will filter selections and arrange to view properties that you have selected and determined to be possible homes for you. "It’s always fun to work with home buyers."Buyers are embarking on a new phase in their life, usually purchasing their place of residence. It’s an important purchase with many factors to consider. I will represent you as your “buyer agent” to negotiate the best price and represent your interests in the purchasing process. I also have a wealth of lenders that I work with to obtain suitable financing for your home. There are many types of loans and you can shop around to find the best type of loan, rates and fees for your home purchase. I will communicate with the seller and seller’s agent to obtain any additional information and keep you informed of new developments as they occur. I am available through the escrow process to be sure that everything proceeds as smoothly and expediently as possible. When one door closes, another one opens.This was never more true, in literal terms, than in real estate. I promote win-win relationships and have found that both parties in a transaction can meet their needs and feel satisfied that they found beneficial solutions for themselves. As the seller moves on to a new adventure, the buyer is beginning a new phase in their life and finds opportunity and new discoveries in their new home. Mutual respect, paired with a fair and equitable transaction, make the transfer of ownership a pleasant experience for everyone involved. -Kathy Coulston |
