I can give you more resources if these are not fruitful for you, and then we can move on the the next buyer essential: your buying criteria.

Search Criteria: What am I looking for in a home?

Your criteria will lay the foundation for our property search together.  When you let me know exactly what type of home you desire, we can narrow down the prospects until I hand you your new keys. 

It will be most helpful to me if you will take a moment and give me a precise description of the home that's right for you.  For example, tell me your purchase price range, number of bed, bath, garage, square footage desired, back yard/pool, city and school district, freeway access, and all other criteria (such as recreation, employment location, etc).  Please use the "comment" space on the "Contact Form" found on the menu to the left side of your screen.

We will spend time touring homes together, which will give you an understanding of what features are available at current market prices.  Whether it takes a week, a month, or longer, we will be diligent as we narrow the field for your final home selection.

Take a closer look...

Now that you've seen the home you want to purchase, get a throrough inspection done right away. 

No home is so new or so well built that it couldn't benefit from having a home inspection completed.  Almost every home contains some defective conditions, no matter how well built.  Some of these defects are obvious, but some are only apparent to those who know how and where to look for them.  Defects will be found.  The question is what, where, how serious, dangerous or expensive these may be.

Home inspections are designed to help you, the homebuyer by preventing loss.  It tells you exactly what you will be getting and outlines any potential future problems.  This enables each homebuyer to make a thorough, informed decision.  After all, statistically speaking, your home is probably your most valuable asset.
