When you're serious about buying your home - you NEED expert assistance! When you own your own home, your hard-earned dollars contribute to your mortgage. The equity you earn is yours. It's important to work with an experienced, caring, FULL TIME Realtor who really listens to your needs, knows the market and works hard to find YOU the right place. IT'S A HUGE DECISION and you deserve top of the line service to make your goals a reality!
A friend from work or part time or "sometime" agent doing real estate as a "hobby" may not be your best choice.
There are many steps to the process to ensure that you get all that you are entitled to every step of the way and the best care possible. Don't let anyone tell you that it's not a big deal or it's not that difficult. You would not go to a "part-time doctor", or probably not even take your dog or cat to a "sometimes vet" . So why would you trust help from an agent with little experience who does not take their job as seriously as you do this decision?
I hear many terrible stories from people about pitfalls in their "last" or "last failed" real estate experience. About 80% of the time when I hear this, the bad experiences are prompted by an agent that did not: communicate; take care of all of the details; or take seriously the transaction. You have one chance to get things done right and you deserve an agent that will work hard for you. There is nothing wrong with interviewing several agents before committing to just one. You should never be worried and feel pressure because an agent is a personal friend new to the business, a part time agent/full-time coworker, or a friend of a friend that sometimes "does real estate". You can ask them for information on their track record, education and how much they really know about the residential real estate business. LIFE CHANGING DECISIONS DESERVE TOP OF THE LINE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE SO YOU HAVE A GUIDE YOU CAN TRUST. When you decide to really get serious about buying and want a great agent to help you email me at vicki_owens@hotmail.com or just give me a call on my cell at (614) 440-5174.
Confused about the difference? New built spec, pre-owned, short sale, bank owned, HUD home? Let's talk about all of the opportunities out there and how together we can find the best opportunity for you. The market is changing so fast. It can benefit you to find the best home for the best price if you have an honest professional assisting in your search - that's me! My goal is that you find what you are looking for and negotiate in your best interest to get it. I help every client with market comparables and good resources to ensure you are at peace with your decision.
Many times my clients seem to apologize for "taking so long" or for "taking up too much time". I have to smile at this because just like you probably have a job you go to everyday, right? Well, this is my job. People ready to buy the best home for them are never wasting my time - it's what I do! Buyer representation from me is FREE. There are no hidden fees AND always added benefits. How does "free" work for you as a buyer? My fees are paid for by the seller for bringing you to close on the home you choose. There are many steps to make sure you get all that you are entitled to as a home buyer. I do not require any extra contract or filing fees up front from you like some brokerages do. And you even use our moving truck free.
 As an Accredited Buyers Representative, I have been certified by the National Association of Realtors by taking specialized training and achieving sales volume requirements to be a recognized consultant working with home buyers. Only 5% of all agents nationwide achieve this honor. This not only gives me advanced skills in helping you locate your home, but also to negotiate on your behalf and coordinate all the necessary steps and resources to closing.
FINDING THE RIGHT HOME IS JUST THE BEGINNING. I can provide wonderful recommendations for lenders, home inspectors, home warranties and title companies. We have no "affiliated relationships" with the professionals that I recommend. I base my recommendations on the great service they have demonstrated to my clients. Communicating with everyone involved in the transaction and keeping you informed from start to when your closing is complete.
In the following reports, you'll find some information that may help to make a wise buying decision. You'll find a host of informative articles on mortgages, viewing homes, the offer, closing details and moving. I hope you will also take a look at the "See what my client's say" page to see how I've been blessed to be a trusted advocate for so many wonderful people in the purchase and sale of their home.
