THINKING OF BUILDING?

READ THIS FIRST!

 

Trying to decide who-what-where?

 Turn the anxiety of building into peace-of-mind.  
You’ll save time and money by having Jim represent you from start to finish.

 

Choose YOUR NEW COMMUNITY
One of my specialties is new construction.  Since I do not represent any particular builder or development, my job is to help YOU decide which is best for you and your family.  I am not “pushing” one particular community over another.  My loyalty is to you.  Together, as a team, we will find the neighborhood, floor plan and builder that gives YOU the best value. 

Check Resales first.  
By checking out existing homes in the area, you may find a home you like already completed.  Special amenities you want, like fences, swimming pool, private lot, etc. may already be in place yet sell for less than new construction due to increasing material and land costs.  Remember, the best lots and locations were the first sold!

Get the BEST VALUE.
Building is a very complex process and not something most people do frequently.  I have been involved in the sale of many new construction homes and have a good working knowledge of what should be done and how.  I will stay with you through plan modifications, option package and price negotiations, building, final walk-thru inspection and closing.   The service doesn’t stop there, either!  I will see to it that you receive proper warranty service during the term of the builder’s warranty.   You, the Buyer, need to be professionally represented.

I represent YOU!
You need your own agent, not the builder’s agent!  Think about that for a moment.  In a legal matter, you would never think of using the other side’s attorney to negotiate in your behalf.  You want someone who will look out for your best interest.  It’s the same in real estate……you want an Accredited Buyer’s  Representative. 

ADDED-VALUE SERVICE
When you buy a home, whether new or existing, you are paying for the services of an agent.  Think about it….even though the Seller pays the commission, it’s from the proceeds of the sale.  Who brought that money to the table? YOU!   Use your own agent……you’re paying for it!

HERE’S HOW COMMISSION WORKS!
Since the REALTOR is paid from the Seller’s proceeds, if you don’t have an agent, the commission all goes to the Seller’s agent.  When you have your own agent, the commission is split with the Seller’s agent.  You don’t save any money by using the Seller’s agent, so why not call me today and put me to work for you?

I SELL your existing home for top dollar.
With the technology and marketing expertise I provide, we can maximize your equity position.  Your home will be open for potential buyers to see 24-hours a day, 7 days a week via virtual tours on my website.  Certain rooms will be highlighted to draw the buyer’s with the most potential to make an appointment to see your home. 

Try my “TOP TEN” system.
Why waste time driving around or sorting through print media (obsolete by the time you see it) and making dozens of calls to the Seller’s agent for information?  Remember, you want your own representation!  E-mail your wants and needs to me, such as location, rooms, size, etc. and I will link you to the top 10 homes that meet your requirements.  You will even get directions so that you may drive through the neighborhood and get an idea if the right amenities may be there.  Also, I will program your information into my database and you will immediately be notified by E-mail of any new listings that match your criteria. 

 

 MOST OF THE TOP-SELLING HOMES HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON……..
