Real Estate Buying Tips

Whether you are purchasing your first home or an experienced buyer these buying tips are perfect for everyone. If you are looking for additional advice feel free to contact us at anytime!


  • Chase The Right Agent. Interview the agent and ask about representation.

    List what is important to you pertaining to how the transaction takes place, and how you want to search for the perfect home. Ask to see other client testimonials. Are they a good communicator? Are they able to communicate through technology? How well do they know their service area? And, how will they protect you in your purchase.

    Neil and Marlene promise to treat you like family.
  • Go to the Lending Institution and get pre-qualified as to what you can afford.

    Avoid disappointment by finding the perfect home and not being able to afford it.

    Neil and Marlene will help you choose the right lending institution that not only provides you with the best interest rate, but also the best service. These people want your business.
  • Best Buys and Demand Properties are not often found on MLS or the local paper.

    Agents usually place these properties in-front of clients who are working with them first. By the time the property is placed on MLS, chances are it's already sold!

    Working with a Realtor assures you of being aware of these properties.

    Neil and Marlene's "Home Finder Service" automatically searches ALL companies listings and new listings that meet your guidelines and requirements.
  • Protect Yourself. Avoid buying the money pit or lemon.

    Home Inspections, Full Sellers Disclosures, Insurance Clauses, Debris Clauses, and Final Walk-through's are now the norm. Even if a problem arises you may still want the property knowing there is a problem and it can be fixed or you may simply decide it is not for you.

    Neil and Marlene will do their utmost to protect and look after your best interest. That is how you would treat your family, is it not?
  • Final Walk-Through's. When and Why most lawyers are insisting it be done. Your last chance to make sure what you bargained for is still there.
