Where to get started
The first thing you need is TOTAL ACCESS to the TOTAL MARKET. You wouldn’t go shopping for a car without looking at everything on the dealers lot, but when it comes to home shopping, you might be surprised to learn that very few people give themselves the advantage of getting total access to the market, or seeing everything that is available to them.

The first thing you will need is a competent Realtor from onSite, REALTORS to help you. If the home is in the MLS “the seller” pays the commissions, the services of your real estate agent to you as a “buyer” are completely FREE. There is no intelligent reason to shop for a home without the services of a professional REALTOR.

Important reasons for using an onSite, REALTOR
Homes go on the market everyday. Your agent has almost instant access to those in the area you are interested in buying.

Your onSite, Realtor will take the time to sit down and go over your options. Make sure you are qualified to purchase the home you are interested in buying. Consider that in many instances the best buys are sold almost as soon as they come on the market, mostly to people who are working with a sharp real estate agent who is looking out for their best interest.

Negotiating an Offer to Purchase
Now you have selected the house, your onSite, REALTOR will help you negotiate the offer to purchase. This is a particularly important step and one that requires experience. There are many details to be covered.

Your onSite, REALTOR will sit you down and prepare an offer that is most advantageous to you. Once the offer has been presented we will help you with any further negotiations.
