It helps to know if you are in a Seller's, Buyer's or Balanced market. In a Buyer's market there is a lot more competition and Buyers have plenty of choices and room to negotiate, forcing you to be very competitive when setting your price. In a Sellers market prices usually come very close to or even over the listed price. View and print our Home Buyers Toolkit and our Home Buyers Reports.
Here are some of the steps I will take to find your perfect home:
Determine Your Wants and Needs
This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions I will establish what you are looking for. My goal is to not waste your time by looking at properties that are not in your price range or homes that don't meet you needs. Throughout the buying process I will maintain your confidentiality and represent your best interests. There are many different and diverse areas in the Columbia Valley all offering something unique.

Help You Get Pre-Qualified
 This step will show you how much you can afford. This is accomplished by speaking with your financial institution and establishing what monthly payments you will be comfortable with.
Home Shopping
We will use every available method to locate a property that matches your search parameters. This will include properties listed with our office, offered through other real estate companies, as well as unlisted properties. We will disclose all known facts about the property that are likely to affect your decision. When we find the home that meets your criteria, I will assist you in writing an offer and act as a liason between you and the seller.
