Buyers
of Bend Oregon real estate . . .
The
2 most important tips for buyers are:
1) Get your finances in order and a pre-approval
letter from you lender.
2) Use a Buyer's
Agent
Helping
YOU find the "Perfect" home is my passion.
Nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping others
find their "Oregon Dream Home".
I also enjoy the thrill of negotiation- making sure
my clients get the house they want for the least amount
of money.
My
primary obligation is to listen to your "wants
and needs". Whether it's over the phone or in
a convenient meeting place - tell me what is most
important to you so I can help guide you in the right
direction. Notice I said "guide"
you . . . please rest assured that I will never
try to rush you in this important decision.
And
remember, my service to buyers is 100% FREE!
Why
Use a Buyer's Agent?
Only a Buyer Broker can GUARANTEE to negotiate on
your behalf. As such, my job is to provide
the true facts as to value, market/neighborhood conditions,
and obvious physical defects. My knowledge of the
area and negotiation skills will "level the playing
field" when it comes to making your next purchase.
Important Note:
Listing Agents (the ones with their sign in the
front yard) represent the SELLER - not the buyer!
Their job is to get the SELLER the highest price
- at the best terms.
Keep
in mind . . . a listing agent cannot
tell you about many things that would be detrimental
for the BUYER because they work for the SELLER.
An experienced Buyer's Agent will help you with your
financing alternatives.
It just makes sense - if you are buying real estate
in Bend Oregon you need an expert protecting your
interests! Take a moment and read my Buyers
Broker Agreement as I only will work
for clients who want to work exclusively with me.
Get
Your Financing Approved FIRST!
The
first step to avoid paying too much for a home is
to know what price you can afford. The best way to
know for sure is to get pre-approved in writing
by a lender- such as a bank, credit union or mortgage
banker.
Mortgage
brokers can arrange such pre-approvals, but don't
be fooled by a mortgage broker's "pre-qualification
letter," which means absolutely nothing. Only
after you have a letter of "Pre-approval"
from a lender will you know for sure what price property
you can afford to buy. That letter also "locks
in" your interest rate - guaranteeing you the
lowest possible rate.
In
Central Oregon there are hundreds of Mortgage Brokers,
but here's the most important thing to remember .
. . choose a company and/or individual you know and
trust. I would be happy to provide a list of several
lenders that I have had personal experience with.
