Now the fun begins! You've found a great agent, you know how much you can afford, and you've found a lender who has committed to loaning you the money…You meet with your agent to discuss your needs and wants - your "must haves" and "would like to haves." Geographic areas are defined and a price range that is comfortable for you is decided upon. I ask my Buyer Clients to "paint me a picture" so that I have an understanding that goes beyond the technical specifications of square footage, number of bedrooms and baths, and location. It is with this assembled body of knowledge that I begin the search; by programming my MLS computer with your customized criteria, scouring the papers and magazines for unlisted properties (For Sale By Owners), and initiating other creative methods of locating properties that meet your needs.

All properties that meet your criteria are forwarded to you immediately via email, phone, fax, or mail for your review. If time and market conditions permit, it's best if you drive by the properties prior to making appointments to view them. This enables you to screen locations and neighborhoods to make sure they meet your qualifications. And, I understand that your goals and objectives can change. Constant communication will help me stay focused on your needs so that we can find the property that is right for you.

Finding the "right" property can take days or months. Supply and demand in our market at any given time will have a profound effect on the number of properties that we see, as well as how broad or narrow your search criteria are. As long as you are realistic in your expectations, though, patience and diligence are the keys to success.
