Whether you’re in the market for a primary residence, an investment property or a second
home, purchasing real estate involves many important considerations and decisions. Phil can provide the focus, due diligence
and expertise needed to help you find the home of your dreams. Phil will: · Assist in determining
how much house you can afford and help you get prequalified or preapproved for a loan. · Simplify your search by
helping you define home and neighborhood criteria. · Screen new listings daily and alert you of homes that match
your criteria. · Keep you abreast of local market conditions, so you can make informed decisions. · Gather
in-depth detail on each home, schedule tours and point out the advantages and possible drawbacks of each property. · Work
with you in drafting an appropriate offer and serve as your representative when presenting it to the seller. · Negotiate
a contract that considers your goals and leads to a successful closing. · Personally refer you to proven service
providers, such as inspectors, appraisers, title companies, warranty providers, insurance agencies, attorneys, carpenters,
movers and more.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Real estate professionals can represent the buyer, the seller or both. When
agents represent both parties, it is called dual agency. In some states, dual agency affects the real estate professional’s
fiduciary responsibilities to the seller. Keep in mind that real estate laws differ from state to state and even from locale
to locale. For more in-depth answers, talk with a knowledgeable real estate professional and ask about local practices.
