Services I Provide to Buyers:

 Round the clock access: I don't go home at 5:00 and say my working day is over. I am available to you 24 hours a day       7 days a week. This is on your schedule.

·Intake: I ask questions to assess your needs and desires around your new home purchase. I determine your areas of       concern so that I can address and remove those for you in advance. I like to meet with buyers in person initially to             this conversation, but I can also do this via email if you'd like to.

·Search, search, search!: I go to work looking for homes that meet your criteria. I usually email these listings to clients,     but I can provide them in other formats as you like.

·Visit homes: When you select listings that you're interested in, I coordinate with the seller to get you inside their home -   all based on your schedule. While touring properties, I can point out areas of concern about the home, as well as               positive aspects. I like buyers to be candid with me about what they like/dislike about the homes so that I can further       tailor their search if they are not finding something they like initially.

·Determine the seller's motivation and needs: Structuring the offer to best fit your needs while keeping in mind what          the seller wants can mean the difference between getting the home you want and not. For instance, if the seller                 desires to stay in their home for a month after closing, I could suggest adding that into our offer, but possibly                     changing other things in your favor.This can also mean the difference between obtaining a great buy and paying too         much.

·Market knowledge and research: I know the market well. I study it closely and know the value of neighborhoods for           buyers trying to secure a new home. I'll also do research of recent sold comparables to show you what the market is         like in your area and to help you structure an effective offer to purchase. Many times it is this extra edge that saves           you. Curious about appreciation rates for your particular neighborhood? Or how condos compared to houses as an           investment? Writing Offer to Purchase: When you are ready to make an offer on a particular home, I'll draft the                     Purchase and Sales Agreement, advising you on protective contingencies, customary practices and local                             regulations. You won't believe how many times I've seen uninformed agents write contracts for buyers that are                   harmful to them.

Present offer: If possible I will hand deliver all offers to the seller or their agent. This gives a personal touch and                 puts a face to the contract.

Make your offer compelling: There are certain things I can advise you do to improve the odds that your offer                      becomes the winning one in a competitive bid situation.

Acceptance of Offer: After I present your offer to the agent and seller, the seller has three options: they can accept            your offer, counter your offer, or reject your offer. My negotiating skills, experience, and knowledge of your needs                will benefit you in reaching a final agreement.

Open Escrow: When the Purchase and Sales Agreement is accepted and signed by all parties, I'll open escrow for              you. Escrow will receive, hold and disburse all funds associated with your transaction. They will also handle the                  final paper work and record the sale with the County. Throughout the transaction (typically ~30 days) I will be in                  close communication with escrow to make sure all is progressing smoothly and get them anything they need.

Contingency Period: I'll assist, consult and facilitate during the contingency period to confirm financing/appraisal,           inspections and any other contingencies to which your purchase is subject. Typical contingencies include: approval           of the sellers Disclosure Statement, approval of the title report, loan approval (including an appraisal of the                         property), inspections of the property and possible subsequent repairs. I will manage all of these activities to make          sure they are done on time and correctly. I will advise you through every step of the process.

Close Escrow: Several days before closing you will need to submit your down payment funds and sign your loan               documents/closing papers. On the closing date, the deed will then be recorded at the County Recorder's office and           you will take ownership of your home. I will assist through all of this making sure that it goes smoothly and your                 questions are answered.

Recommendations: Over the years, I have cultivated a network of industry contacts to help support you through                the transaction process. I can recommend a good escrow company, contractors, home inspectors, tax/legal                        specialists, insurance companies, mortgage brokers, etc.

Be your advocate: That is my sole purpose - to be on your side and advocate your best interests throughout the                  process.
