Common Mistakes Home Buyers Make

  • local market

    Not understanding a local market and all that is available.

  • foreclosures

    Thinking that it is both safe and easy to buy foreclosed and short sale homes. These purchases typically have extra or different processes than normal transactions.

  • pricing

    Not understanding pricing and the value of certain amenities.

  • negotiating

    Weak negotiating. This mistake alone can cost the buyer thousands of dollars.

  • inspections

    Not requiring the proper inspections and/or not understanding these reports when an inspection is done.

  • pre-approval

    Not understanding the importance of being pre-approved by a Lender prior to beginning the home buying process.

Rules for Successful Home Buying

  • pre-approval

    Get Pre-approved for a loan prior to finding a home. Call us, we have a few good references.

  • buyer's agent

    Have your own Buyer’s Agent working for you.

  • your dream home

    Don’t settle. Keep looking until you find your Home Sweet Home!

  • market analysis

    Have a Comparative Market Analysis performed on the home prior to purchase, followed up by an appraisal while in escrow.

  • disclosure

    Transfer Disclosure from the Seller.

  • inspection

     Get a Home Inspection done.

  • expenses

    Know which expenses you can ask the seller to pay.

  • walk-through

    Perform a thorough walk-through inspection before closing escrow.

  • title policy

    Have an Title Policy performed, Review Title Report for liens, encumbrances, or zoning which may adversely affect ownership. Check the Deed for any easements, modifications or restrictions that might keep you from making improvements on the property.

Benefits of Buyer Agency

As your buyer’s agent, we represent you and your interests in the purchase of your new home, not the seller’s interests. Although the typical agency agreement spells out the fiduciary duties an agent must fulfill for the seller, the buyer is often left, in a sense, unrepresented. However, buyers too have the option of being represented exclusively by their own agent. 

Loyalty

Acting in the best interest of the buyer

Obedience

Following the lawful instructions of the buyer

DIsclosure

Disclosing all material facts about the sale

Confidentiality

Sharing info freely with confidentiality

Accountability

Accounting for all money changing hands

Skill and Care

Determining a reasonable purchase price and all material facts of sale

Utilizing Our Services to Search for Your Perfect Home

EXISITING HOMES

I use the Pikes Peak Multiple Listing Association, the Internet, our private resources and contacts, and other technologies to provide you with up to date information on each new home as it comes available on the market. We preview the “new on market” list constantly, on the lookout or the perfect home for you.

NEW HOMES

I work with most builders and can get all the information you need to make any decisions, but we will need to accompany you to the property on the initial visit.

SHORT SALES, BANK OWNED, FORECLOSURES

I'll work with you on short sale, bank owned and foreclosure properties. It is critical that you have professional representation in these types of transactions. We are sure you have read of some of the nightmare experiences buyers have had in this type of transaction. We will be with you every step of the way to avoid a catastrophe!

FOR SALE BY OWNER

A homeowner trying to sell his home himself is usually doing so in hopes of saving the commission, coincidentally, this is the reason a buyer wants to deal directly with a homeowner.
