Fairfield Glade Homes; Buyer Frequently Asked Questions

Buyer Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is your primary real estate market area?

I specialize in Fairfield Glade real estate but Crossville and Cumberland County, Tennessee are also included in my primary real estate market areas.

2. What is the importance of your years of experience in providing professional real estate advice and guidance?

Multiple years of professional real estate agent and broker experience. Real estate sales are complex transactions that most people only do several times in their lives. My experience and commitment to keeping up with new advances in real estate means that I am able to guide you through the complexities of a real estate purchase and help insure a low-stress purchase process.

Finding an appropriate property is only part of the process. Making sure that negotiations and the numerous details are handled correctly is also a vital part of any real estate transaction. Heading off potential trouble spots and effectively dealing with problems that arise can save you thousands of dollars, lots of time and reduce the stress involved in your real estate purchase.

3. How will you help me find properties that fit my criteria?

I will set up an automatic daily search of listed properties that meet your criteria and have any new listings automatically emailed to you each day. I will also search for unlisted properties by checking newspaper classifieds, for sale by owner websites and publications and working my network of contacts to find the best property for you.

4. Once I find a property that I am interested in buying, how can you assist me?

I will assist you in evaluating the property and the asking price and preparing and negotiating your offer with the seller or listing agent. I will continue to guide you throughout the process - negotiating needed repairs found upon inspecting the property, making sure that all of the proper documents are in place for your closing, etc. Heading off potential problems and effectively dealing with those that arise can save you considerable time, money and stress.

5. I am confused about financing my purchase. How can you help me with that?

While I can’t loan you money, I can help you understand your financing options. Getting pre-qualified or pre-approved for a loan is an important part of the purchase process. I can help you understand credit scoring and learn the pros and cons of the many types of financing available so you can make an informed decision in choosing financing.

6. How are you paid for being my buyer’s agent?

Buyer agent commissions are built into the price of listed properties for sale.

7. Do I have to pay any money up-front?

No. My fees are paid at closing.

8. I am interested. What is the next step?

I offer a free initial consultation to answer any questions you may have about the process. If you decide that you want me to be your Buyer Agent, we complete the necessary paperwork and start down the path of finding you the right property.
