Select Your Buyers' Specialist Who Works Exclusively for You
The seller will have their listing broker so who will be there to protect your interest? It is in your best interest to select a buyers' specialist who is commited to representing your needs throughout the buying process for the competitive real estate market in the Silicon Valley. Our buyers' specialist will work for you to insure your needs are met and every detail is managed on your behalf.

Mortgage Pre-Approved
Obtaining a pre-approval letter from a lending consultant will offer you a distinct advantage when negotiating an offer on your new home. It sends a strong, clear message to the seller and their agent that you are financially qualified to buy the property. Having trusted resources is important to you and that's why we have a reputable lending consultant who offers competitive rates and outstanding service. Providing information in easy to understand terms really is important. Our lending consultant will fully explain all of your financing options and provide a letter of pre-approval.

Consulting Session
Because your time is precious, you can count on your SV Home Team buyers' specialist to only show you homes that meet your search requirements. Together we'll sit down and talk about how many bedrooms and bathrooms you want, your taste for architectural styles, and how close you want to be to schools and work. We will listen carefully to your needs and determine what your home buying priorities are. If you’ve already selected a neighborhood, we’ll limit the search to that particular area.

Now The Search Begins
Now it’s time to start looking. Matching properties to your prerequisites against our vast database of available homes, we will schedule to preview homes that match your needs. When the time is right, we will meet to preview those properties in person after you have searched the MLS. Remember, even if a home is being sold by a homeowner (FSBO), we can arrange for you to see those homes too!

Your Offer to Purchase
Once you’ve found the one, we will research and recommend an offering price based on the values of comparable home sales recently sold in the area. We'll then present your offer to the seller and/or their listing agent, fully explaining its merits.

The Offer is Accepted
When the seller accepts your terms and price of your offer, you'll want to make sure that every detail is handled accurately and in a timely manner. Our buyers' agent will guide you through every step of the process to make sure that your home closes on time. Avoiding issues and negotiating on your behalf are some of the key reasons for selecting our buyers' agent.

The Home Inspection
If the sellers have not provided a recent home inspection report, it is recommended you employ a qualified home inspector. We will offer several reputable inspectors to you who will make sure everything in the home is in good working order. If any items are noted to be in need of repair, you may choose to negotiate with the seller to make reasonable repairs.

The Home Stretch - Signing the Loan Documents
Now you're in the “home” stretch of the home buying process. Once you have the lender’s final commitment and a date is set to sign the final papers, these are the final steps to take you to home ownership! One of the last items will be to schedule and conduct the final walk through to insure the property is in the same condition as when you tendered your offer.

Congratulations!
With closing behind you, the home is finally yours! After the deed is recorded, you can pick up the keys and move into your new home!
