Working With a Buyer's Agent
As your Buyer's Agent in Southern Utah, I can guide you through buying St. George real estate. From your entire home purchase, from setting up financing, to the day you take possession of your new home. The best part is, my services are free to you, since my commission is paid by the seller in most real estate transactions.
The first step in helping you find the perfect home is defining your priorities. Some things to keep in mind when buying St. George real estate includes house size, type of lot, distance from work and downtown, investment potential, and property taxes. Next we'll help you get pre-qualified for a loan by contacting financiers, and determining how much you'd like to spend. Once you're pre-qualified, you can start looking at homes on the MLS and having me set up appointments for the most appealing listings. As your Realtor I'll provide regular updates on homes on the market that might suit you.
If you decide to make an offer on a home, I'll represent you during the negotiation process, and oversee all paperwork and inspections related to the sale. After a deal is reached, we finalize your loan and the settlement, and make sure the possession process goes smoothly.
With the help of a Realtor, you can take uncertainty out of the buying process and focus on making the best possible investment. Contact me anytime to get your next home purchase started, or if you just have some preliminary questions about my services. Click here to begin your search for Southern Utah homes for sale.
