What to Look for in a Real Estate Agent

When buying a home, you want a real estate agent who:
     ■ Takes the time to understand your needs and goals, so you have a true partner in

         your home buying journey.
     ■ Explains everything clearly and answers your questions, so you're never in the dark.
     ■ Has expertise and a track record of success in the local market.
     ■ Knows how to find great properties in your price range.
     ■ Will alert you to new listings, quickly, so you get the jump on those opportunities.
     ■ Will advise you on the best price to offer for the home you want.
     ■ Will prepare and present the offer, and skillfully negotiate such things as

         price, conditions, closing dates, etc. so you get the best deal.
     ■ Will save you potentially thousands of dollars by ensuring you don't overpay for

         the property you want.
     ■ Will recommend reputable home inspectors, movers, and other professionals you

         may need.

Not every real estate agent offers all these services. Our clients say that we do. They also tell us how much they appreciate our professionalism, expertise, and accessibility. The best way to select the right real estate agent is to meet with him or her in person. Ask questions. See if it is a good fit.

Arrange Financing

Get a Mortgage Pre-Approval

An essential step in ensuring a successful home search is understanding your budget. Falling in love with a property only to discover it's outside your price range can be disheartening. That's why we strongly recommend obtaining a Mortgage Pre-Approval. This document, provided by your bank or another lender, specifies the mortgage amount they are willing to offer you. There are two key advantages to securing this pre-approval:

     ■ Peace of Mind: Knowing you can afford homes within your view and won't

        encounter issues securing financing.

     ■ Serious Buyer Signal: It signals to sellers that you are a committed and prepared

        buyer, providing you with a competitive edge when making an offer.

You can arrange for a Mortgage Pre-Approval directly with your bank or lender. Alternatively, if you'd like recommendations for reputable mortgage brokers or lenders, please take a look below this section. We have links to TEAL Pro Team's preferred lender partners. As seasoned professionals in the local real estate scene, we have an extensive network.

How Much Home Can You Afford?

Banks and lenders evaluate specific criteria to determine your mortgage eligibility, including your income, expenses, credit history, employment status, and the planned down payment. While this may seem like a daunting process, it is straightforward, and you can usually obtain a Mortgage Pre-Approval in a day. The peace of mind it provides is invaluable.

By understanding your affordability, you can confidently explore homes within your price range. For instance, if you qualify for a $450,000 mortgage and have an additional $100,000 for a down payment, you can comfortably explore homes in the $550,000 range.

Viewing Homes

The Home Shopping Process
As your dedicated real estate agents, our primary goal is to ensure that the home shopping process is not only pleasant but also rewarding for you. We achieve this in several ways:
     ■ Tailored Recommendations: We regularly suggest properties for viewing that align

         closely with your needs, wants, and fall within your specified price range. This

         proactive approach saves you from the frustration of visiting homes that may not

         suit your criteria.

     ■ Timely Alerts: When a desirable property enters the market, you're promptly alerted

         to ensure you don't miss valuable opportunities.

     ■ Convenient Viewings: We assist in scheduling viewings that align with your schedule,

         minimizing inconvenience for you.

     ■ Detailed Information: Before you step into a property, we provide you with

         comprehensive details, including closing dates, market value, and more. This

         empowers you to make well-informed decisions.

     ■ Resourceful Neighborhood Insights: We equip you with the tools and resources

         needed to research the neighborhood thoroughly. This encompasses factors such

         as lifestyle, safety, schools, and more, ensuring you have a clear understanding of

         the area.

     ■ Expert Recommendations: Upon finding a property you like, we offer honest

         and professional recommendations on how well the home meets your specific

         needs and wants.

What to Look for When Viewing a Property
To make the viewing process easier and more productive, consider the following questions:
     ■ Needs vs. Wants: Identify if the home has your essential "needs" features (e.g., number

         of bedrooms, closet space, kitchen size) and any additional "wants" features.

     ■ General Condition: Assess the overall condition of the home. Are there signs of

         regular maintenance and repairs by the owners?

     ■ Future Considerations: Determine if the home will require major repairs, remodeling,

         or renovations. Are there components like the furnace that may need replacement soon?

     ■ Likes and Dislikes: Reflect on what you like most about the home and any aspects

         you may not like. Can disliked elements be addressed through remodeling or

         renovations?

     ■ Neighborhood Inspection: Take a stroll around the neighborhood. Are neighboring

         homes well-kept, indicating pride of ownership?

     ■ Location Preferences: Evaluate if you like where the home is situated within the

         neighborhood.

     ■ Amenities and Access: Check if the neighborhood provides the amenities you desire,

         such as access to public transit, shopping, local parks, etc.

Viewing properties should be an exciting and informed experience. Our role is to simplify the process, ensuring it's both enjoyable and productive for you. Your dream home is out there, and we're here to help you find it.

Making an Offer

Preparing the Offer
The moment you find a home on the market that truly captivates you, the excitement of envisioning life there can be overwhelming. Waiting for the keys can feel like an eternity. But rest assured, you have a team of experts on your side – the TEAL Pro Team. As your dedicated real estate agents, our mission is to secure that home for you at a price that aligns with your budget. The initial step in this process is preparing the Offer – a crucial document that outlines the proposed price and any conditions.

Critical Pricing: Determining the right price is paramount. We ensure your offer reflects the true market value of the property, a figure that the Seller will view seriously. Striking the perfect balance is our expertise, avoiding the risk of overpaying while making your offer competitive.

Expert Guidance: We specialize in crafting winning offers, advocating for your interests throughout the entire process.

How the Process Works
When you decide to make an offer, the following steps typically unfold:
     ■ Price Recommendation: We recommend a price that optimizes the chances of

         acceptance without overpaying. While Sellers prefer offers with no conditions,

         we may propose safeguards, such as a professional home inspection, for your

         protection.

     ■ Document Preparation: We handle the preparation of all necessary documents,

         ensuring a comprehensive and well-presented offer.

     ■ Direct Presentation: Your offer is personally presented to the Seller and their real

         estate agent.

     ■  Negotiation Expertise: If the initial offer isn't accepted or if a counteroffer is made,

          we skillfully negotiate with the Seller's agent to reach a favorable deal.

          Communication with you is continuous, keeping you informed at every stage.

     ■ Deal Finalization: Once the Seller agrees to the terms, we guide you through the

         process of removing any conditions and closing the deal. The home is then officially

         yours – congratulations!

We understand that making an offer can feel like a nerve-wracking step in the process. However, with us, the TEAL Pro Team, you have a team of professionals who prioritize your interests. As you pursue the property you truly desire, take comfort in knowing you have experts by your side – professionals who know how to secure that home for you.

Closing the Sale

Ensuring the Closing Goes Smoothly
There are few things we enjoy more than saying to a client, "You're Under Contract!" This means the Seller has accepted your offer, conditions have been waived, the closing date has been set, and you're soon to be preparing for moving day. However, just because the purchase has been made doesn't mean our work for you stops. On the contrary, we continue to support you through the myriad of details to ensure a seamless process.

Administrative Details: We take care of many administrative details on your behalf. Working closely with the Seller's agent and your mortgage lender, we ensure that all necessary paperwork is completed and submitted promptly.

Professional Recommendations: Don't worry about finding a good home inspector, insurance agent, or moving company. We're well-connected in the local real estate scene and can personally recommend reputable professionals and companies to assist you.

Ongoing Support: If, at any time leading up to moving day, you have questions, problems, or concerns, we're here to help. Count on us to be your real estate agent before, during, and after you cross the threshold into your beautiful new home.

At TEAL Pro Team, our commitment to you extends beyond the initial transaction. We take pride in ensuring that your entire home-buying journey is smooth and memorable. From navigating the complexities of the closing process to recommending trusted professionals, we're here to make your transition into your new home as seamless as possible.
