Some teams strive for maximum headcount, we strive for maximum intelligence. Our team is comprised of exceptional agents with previously successful careers in law, finance, business and marketing, all of whom bring these unique skills and perspectives to the table.
We want all of our clients to love the home they purchase. So, in all cases, we tell it like it is. If we think a house isn't a good fit, we'll let you know. If we see red flags, we'll point them out. We understand our role is to advise and advocate on your behalf even if that means telling you something you don't want to hear.
This is one of the most expensive assets you'll purchase in your lifetime so it's important to have business-savvy experts by your side. Our team of highly educated and experienced agents have an eye for detail and understand how to navigate the unexpected twists and turns of real estate transactions.
All of our clients aspire to be part of the same communities in which we live, work and play. As such, post-closing, we aim to help our clients to become fully integrated into the local community by connecting them with all manner of local resources including property managers, gardeners, landscapers, pool installers, contractors, etc.
Let's Find Your Upstate Escape
Once you've completed our buyer questionnaire, we'll arrange for an initial consultation during which ask more questions to gain a complete understanding of your specific search parameters. If we both feel that it's a good fit, we'll start working together in earnest.
We’ll set up a Collection (Compass’ collaborative search function) which will include off-market listings only available to Compass clients as well as all of the publicly available listings. Both the agent and client can mark properties as favorites, participate in an ongoing dialogue that lives with the respective property and hone the Collection so that just properties of interest remain front and center.
In a competitive environment, this is one of the most critical pieces of the puzzle. We'll help you craft an effective offer, often with provisions that protect you while at the same time position you and your offer in the best light possible. Ultimately, we want you to stand out as the best option for the seller and we have a very good track record at doing so.
We'll introduce you to a list of trusted inspectors and accompany you to the inspection and then help you to digest the findings in the report and decide how to proceed depending on the nature and potential cost of any issues. In some cases, we'll help to negotiate repairs or reductions in price, all of which will be included in the contract.
Once inspection is complete, the attorneys get involved. If you don't have an attorney, we'll provide excellent local recommendations. For most transactions, the negotiation of the purchase agreement happens rather quickly. And, as a general rule, once you're in contract, the onus shifts to the lender (if you're financing) and the title company to push the ball forward. During this phase of the transaction, we'll help shepherd the transaction over any road bumps or unexpected obstacles to get you to closing.
On the day of closing we'll be with you for the final walkthrough to test all of the systems and make sure that you're getting the house for which you bargained. Post-closing, we'll continue to be a local resource for you providing recommendations for services, places to eat and explore.
