If you are like many people looking for a new home you may wonder, when do I need to get a Realtor on board, and what will they do for me? In the current fast-paced market in which listings often arrive and disappear within days or weeks, it is important to be well prepared. You should get your agent on board within six months of when you want to be in your new home. This allows time for your agent to inform you of the process, set up your searches, understand what is most important to you and research properties of interest so that you are completely comfortable and ready to act when the home you love come along!

Securing a new home is one of the most monumental life changes you will make. Yet it is not something you do every day, so how would you know what you don’t know?

There are many components to the process that need to be managed including everything from honing in on your true priorities to tempering the emotions and personality types of all parties involved. There is property valuation and strategy when considering your offer terms, especially in the current competitive market of multiple offers. Your agent must work to bring everyone together to work as a team serving your best interests, including the two attorneys, the seller’s realtor, the lender, appraiser, contractors, town hall personnel, the sellers, and you. There is due diligence to conduct and there are pitfalls to avoid. There are laws, regulations, and legal forms. There are incremental deposits that need to be carefully handled. There is a strict timeline that could result in the loss of your deposit if not adhered to and managed. There are a wide range of inspection items to consider and negotiate. And before any of this, there is the process of considering all your lifestyle factors and priorities when choosing a new location, neighborhood and home. 

So my service for you falls under the categories of understanding your wants and needs, providing key information so that you feel comfortable in making informed decisions, and managing the communications, negotiations and relationships to ensure the smoothest possible experience for you.
