Buyer Advisory Services

Our Agents will conduct an initial strategy session to ascertain your needs and wants.  Our Agents will ask questions like: “Describe your ideal Florida home and situation”?  Beyond the basics of bed & baths, our Agents will get an understanding of the lifestyle you aspire to so they can recommend specific areas, communities and/or clubs that are a fit with your lifestyle goals.  Our Agent will explain the home buying process and review the current state of the market with you.

This is a collaborative process with recommendations flowing in both directions.  It is fun and exciting for you, the Buyer, to identify properties online that an experienced Agent can ‘vet’ from either their personal knowledge of the home or previewing the home on your behalf.  If a view of the beach from your condominium is important an experienced agent will know when a specific condo’s view is really lakefront or because it is on the 2nd floor you will not see the sand.  Your Agent will leverage all of the latest technology to search for not only on-market homes listed on the MLS but also bring to your attention off-market opportunities known to our office and Agents.  We will also prospect for homes not on the market that fit your needs through direct mail, word of mouth and door knocking.

Your Agent will review the contract in detail with you prior to submitting the offer to ensure all items important to you are included.  Your Agent will contact the listing Agent to build rapport and understand items that are important to the Seller or flexible with the Seller to ensure a ‘smart’ offer is submitted.  Your Agent will utilize market-based information to negotiate the best possible deal on your behalf using market based information to achieve your objectives.  Through multiple rounds of negotiation, your Agent will gain agreement on your behalf on price, down payment, financing, inspections & repairs.  The contract will be executed by all parties with a copy of the contract provided to your lender (if financing) and the title company along with any required deposits.

Prior to your move, your Agent will assist you with the pertinent utility information as well as homestead information from the property appraiser’s office.  As local experts, should you need any assistance with moving, handy-work, renovations or decorating, your Agent has an extensive network of frequently used vendors.  Should you be joining one of the local Clubs, your Agent can facilitate club tours and the membership application process with the respective Clubs.  Consider your Agent a lifelong resource to assist you with every aspect of your home and living in or around Flagler County.
