Buying a house
For most of us buying a home is the most expensive transaction we will enter in our lifetimes. Our goal is to make the process as simple and as smooth for our clients as possible.
However, there are many potential pitfalls which you, as a buyer need to be aware of. The best way to protect yourself from these is to work with a knowledgeable and highly experienced agent that is familiar with the area in which you would like to buy your home.
Things to keep in mind when buying:
Make sure you have met with your lender and established both what you can afford and what you are comfortable paying. They may not be the same! In a hot market, you may be bidding against one of more buyers who are interested in the same home you are.
Home Inspections after signing the contract. Be sure to get a home inspection! But don't be fooled--you may need multiple inspections done depending on the type and location of the property you are considering. If possible, attend as many of these as possible. Talk to the inspector, you'll be amazed at the valuable education you'll get! These inspections and tests may include:
So, you can see, the "Home Inspection" can consist of much more than one "Inspection". Negotiating issues and repairs identified in the various inspections has become one of the most challenging aspects of many home purchases today. This is an area where the experience of your agent can make the difference between getting the home you want or walking away from a home purchase.
The skill and experience of your agent in these matters can save or cost you thousands of dollars!

Kind words from our past clients:
"Others said it couldn’t be done. Mike and his team represented us in the successful sale of a property that involved complex negotiations with multiple parties--neither other agents nor the lawyers had been able to figure out how to do it. Mike laid out and executed a plan that ran like clock-work resulting in a seamless, drama free sale and settlement. I can’t recommend him and his team too highly!"
- Bernard Besset
"Coming in from out of the area- Mike provided excellent customer service and attention, along with his knowledge of the real estate market and area. What a great agent to have on your side!"
- Michael Isper
"Mike is a true professional. We are extremely pleased with the level of service we received from him. He was always prompt in answering questions and patient in reviewing details and sales strategies. He brought a level of calm into a very stressful time and guided us successfully through the sales process. He provided expert advice that was consistently spot-on. I would highly recommend Mike. He was very easy to work with and truly exceeded our expectations."
