How We Help You with Buying Your New Home
Buying a home is very exciting! Today’s buyers prefer to begin their search online and then attend open houses without an agent. Our clients are intelligent and savvy home buyers. They know what they want, conduct their own home search, know how much to spend and have a good understanding of home values. They don’t want a full-commission agent to chauffeur them around town to find and “sell” them a home. We provide honest expert advice throughout the search process. Once you identify a home you would like to purchase, we take over from there and do everything a full-commission agent does plus we give you up a 1% real estate commission rebate.
