15+ Years experience serving YOU with a genuine heart.  Pushy, salesy is NOT in Brenda's vocabulary OR character while serving and PROTECTING her clients.  A person should NEVER have to fear inquiring or contacting a REALTOR® because sales tactics, pushiness, or not serving the client's VERY best interests is NOT supposed to be the job description. If you contact or inquire with an agent you do not know and they seem pushy or salesy, they are not your a match for you.  

YOUR FIRST STEP buying

Your first step to buying a home is to first ask yourself why you want to buy a home: to stop paying rent? To start building equity? To have a place of your own? To raise a family? To entertain business associates? To move up to a bigger house? Next, list what kind of home you'd like and where you would like to be. Be specific. Separate the "must haves" from the "want to haves."

Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to the specific. Consider area (city, suburban neighborhood, country); community (north, south, east, or west side); neighborhood (older and settled or sparkling new; a particular school zone; recreational facilities; and other community services such as transportation, day care, library, stores, entertainment). Ask yourself how many minutes you are willing to commute to work.

Legal Tip:

Whether you are buying a home or selling we must have the talk regarding Real Property Reports, Title Insurance, what they are and how they can effect your sale.  These are very important areas that are the central to your contract whether selling your home or buying.  Being ready to sell or buy is not when you are ready to make the move, it's after you had good informative discussions with your REALTOR® and to have any deficiencies in your preliminary stage be complete.  Real Property Reports and Title Insurance is often overlooked and yet they are the most central to the core of a sale and the biggest liability a seller can have if the purchase contract is not amended and customized to protect the client whether you are the seller or the buyer.

YOUR NEXT STEP: LOAN PRE-APPROVED

Note: As of April 2022, sooner is better than later to get your preapproval locked in and a low rate guaranteed.  Brenda's clients love using Arian Leroux with Dominion Lending.  You can go ahead and start your online application https://arianaleroux.com/

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company. This can be done over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes.

Call/Text me and I will refer you to a mortgage professional that has an excellent reputation and track record for successfully acquiring loan approval.  The professionals my clients use are tried, tests and proven to be the best nation wide. Before going to the bank.... ask me for your "Buyer Guide" to know the difference the bank vs mortgage broker, mortgage specialist, mortgage planner...

I WILL FIND THE RIGHT HOMES FOR YOU

Once you've been pre-approved and know what price range you want to stay in, I can help you determine which properties fit your needs by using the the MLS® System of a real estate board to locate them, and searching the Coming Soon inventory. 

We totally go your pace, I love guiding clients along the way.

I WILL HELP YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

I will help you complete your financing and inspections, and close on the transaction. My top priority is to make sure that your home buying experience is pleasant, cost-efficient, and successful.

If you are needing to sell your home, ask me to set you up on your Seller Guide, its an 11 day in-depth tutorial of all the legal documents you must have prepared before you even think about putting your home on the market.  We go over your Real Property Report that a buyer will demand for with offer, is it old, is it compliant, are there changes since you bought the home, permits, etc.

And very crucial you go to my Selling 101 Page Here,

On this page, you will get a strong impression on how I like to navigate the balance of selling your home with preliminary preparation and buying.  There is a way of managing it!  Don't stay "stuck" browsing homes and doing nothing to be prepared for the quick sale of your own home.  You will for sure miss out on any homes you are interested in.

ACTION STEP:

Take a break from browsing houses for a sec, read my articles on the different pages and if you like have a quick phone consultation of your particular situation and answer any questions you may have.  Knowledge is power, you are always in control of the situation, you run the show, but you need the tools WITHOUT sales tactics by your agent, but your guide and advocate on your side, your pace.

Brenda has had the same clients for over 15 years, she is trusted and your Consultant for a lifetime.
