Alliance Home Team - A Guide to Home

home THE ROAD TO

hello!

I am excited to be working with you as you navigate this exciting journey.

Investing in a home is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. It is so much more than a roof over your head; your home is where life unfolds and memories are made, all while building a financial foundation for your future.

Deciding how you’ll navigate your journey to homeownership is equally critical to the agent you work with. I am familiar with what’s cycling through your mind, and as a real estate agent, I have mastered the ins and outs of the buying process. When you work with me and the Alliance Home Team, you’ll benefit from our combined experience, and together we’ll work toward making sound, smart decisions for your future.

It is my experience, a home isn’t a dream home because of its room dimensions.

It’s about how you feel when you walk through the front door, and the way you can instantly envision your life unfolding there.

I understand you are looking for a new home, and I want to be the real estate professional to help you. I work with each of my clients individually, taking the time to understand their unique needs and lifestyle, and I want to do the same for you.

It’s incredibly fulfilling to know that I am helping my clients open a new chapter in their lives. That’s why I work so hard to not only find that perfect home, but also to handle every detail of the purchase process, from negotiating the terms of sale to recommending moving companies.

This package contains helpful information for you, my home buyers, including an overview of the entire purchase process, answers to frequently asked questions, and fact sheets to help you discover the home and neighborhood characteristics most important to you.

FIND THE RIGHT AGENT Buying a home is one of the most significant purchases in a lifetime. It is essential to have an experienced agent in your corner, always looking out for your best interest. A buyer agent’s fiduciary responsibility is to represent the buyer and to ensure that they are protected.

After all, a seller has someone in their corner. A listing agent has an allegiance to the seller. Their goal is to get the seller top dollar for their home.

There is incredible value in having someone working for YOUR best interests when buying a home.

GETTING YOU IN THE DOOR I will narrow down the homes that fit your unique wants and needs and get you in the door! I look at dozens of homes every week, and I can help you identify potential problems within a home.

HANDLING CHALLENGING CONVERSATIONS When repairs or changes in price need to be made, I will be your guide and handle requesting any repairs or changes in price to the sellers.

STAYING ON TOP OF THE PAPERWORK Buying a home involves many types of documentation. I have the experience and knowledge to navigate real estate contracts. Ensuring that nothing is overlooked, and that you truly understand what a paper means before ever signing on the dotted line.

ON YOUR SIDE

A buyer’s agent will represent your best interests. With a pulse on the local market and a sound understanding of how various amenities effect the value of a home, I will make sure we submit a competitive offer on the right house for you.

NEIGHBORHOOD EXPERT I work daily in neighborhoods with inspectors, contractors, and negotiating with sellers. I have the market knowledge you need to get you the home of your dreams at the best price!

Understanding the local real estate market is essential when it comes time to make an offer on a house.

PROBLEM SOLVER I will work hard to protect all of your interests and take on any issues that may arise throughout the entire process. I work tirelessly to make sure buying a home is a fun and stress-free process.

PREPARING

for a home loan

PREPARE FINANCES HOW MUCH HOUSE CAN YOU AFFORD?

Mortgage lenders recommend you do not buy a home that is more than 3 to 5 times your annual household income. If you are not purchasing a home with cash, you will need a mortgage pre-approval provided by your mortgage lender. A lender will work with you to get a loan that meets your needs. Some buyers are concerned with keeping their monthly payments as low as possible, others want to make sure that their monthly payments never increase. We strongly recommend using a local lender who is familiar with our market and local customs. Having a lender that is familiar to the selling agent, can help to win a deal!

CHECK YOUR CREDIT A mortgage requires a good credit score. You can improve your score by: Paying down credit card balances Continuing to make payments on time Avoid applying for a new credit card or car loan until you have been approved Avoid making big purchases until you have been approved If possible, avoid job changes until you have been approved TIP: It is always advisable to check with your lender before doing any of the above, they can let you know the most strategic way to improve your credit score and increase your buying power.

SAVE CASH FOR A DOWN PAYMENT & OTHER EXPENSES In order to make your dream of buying a home a reality, you will need to save cash for your down payment, earnest money, closing costs & home inspector.

TIP: The earnest money, home inspection fees, and appraisal fees, are due PRIOR to settlement.

A Down Payment is typically between 3.5% & 20% of the purchase price Earnest Money is money you put down to show you’re serious about purchasing a home, we recommend a minimum of $1000. It’s also known as a good faith deposit.

Closing Costs for the buyer run between 2% & 5% of the loan amount A Home Inspection costs $300 to $500 and is usually based on the size of the home and if there are any additional inspections (i.e. radon, septic).

GET PRE-APPROVED Being pre-approved, unlike being pre-qualified, means you've actually been approved by a lender for a specific loan amount. You will need to provide documented financial information (income, statements, assets, debt & credit reports etc.) to be reviewed & verified by the lender. This helps with your negotiating power.

MAKE AN

offer

MAKE AN OFFER WHEN TO MAKE AN OFFER:

So you have found THE house! Congrats! In today’s market when the demand is higher than the amount of homes available it is important to act fast!

HOW MUCH TO OFFER:

We will sit down and look at recent sales and current buyer activity in the area, as well as the value of the property in it’s present condition. Putting all this information together, we will determine the price that you would like to offer.

SUBMITTING AN OFFER

There are some components to an offer that makes it more appealing to the sellers.

•Put Your Best Foot Forward We will work together to discuss your options and create your very best offer.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have only one chance to make a good impression.

THE PROCESS

•Put Down a Healthy Earnest Deposit A large earnest money deposit shows the seller you are serious

AFTER YOU SUBMIT AN OFFER,

•Cash Talks A transaction that is not dependent on receiving loan approval is more attractive to a seller •Shorter Inspection Periods Try shortening the inspection period to 10 days •Offer to Close Quickly Many sellers prefer to close within 30 days.

•ACCEPT THE OFFER

THE SELLER COULD:

•DECLINE THE OFFER This happens if the seller thinks your offer isn’t close enough to their expectations to further negotiate.

•COUNTER-OFFER A counter-offer is when the seller offers you different terms. If this happens, you can: •ACCEPT THE SELLER’S COUNTER-OFFER •DECLINE THE SELLER’S COUNTER-OFFER •COUNTER THE SELLER’S COUNTER-OFFER You can negotiate back and forth as many times as needed until you reach an agreement or someone chooses to walk away.

OFFER IS ACCEPTED - CONGRATS!

You will sign the purchase agreement and you are now officially under contract! This period of time is called the contingency period. Now inspections, appraisals, or anything else built into your purchase agreement will take place.

ESCROW

period

ORDER AN INSPECTION

During the inspection period, we will schedule an inspection with a reputable home inspector to do a thorough investigation of the home.

Once this is complete, the inspector will provide us with a list of their findings. You can take the issues as-is or request the seller to address some or all of the findings. We will be mindful and reasonable on smaller items, while being very cautious and vigilant of potentially significant issues. This is an expense that you will pay for at the time of inspection.

NEGOTIATE HOME INSPECTION Issues typically arise after the home inspection, and those issues tend to result in another round of negotiations for credits or fixes.

1. Ask for a credit for the work that needs to be done. Likely, the last thing the seller wants to do is repair work.

2. Think “big picture” and don’t sweat the small stuff. Tile that needs some caulking, or a leaky faucet can easily be fixed. Repairs are still up for negotiation and perhaps a small credit would help with closing costs.

APPRAISAL ORDERED Your lender will arrange for a third party appraiser to provide an independent estimate of the value of the house you are buying. The appraisal lets all parties involved know that the price is fair. The loan file then moves on to the mortgage underwriter.

If approved you will receive your final commitment letter that includes the final loan terms & percentage rates.

Homeowner's Insurance

This ensures that the seller truly owns the property, and that all existing liens, loans or judgments are disclosed.

You'll need insurance for the new home prior to closing. This will protect against things like fire, storms and flooding

CLOSING DAY

closing day

Closing is when you sign ownership and insurance paperwork and you receive your new home’s keys! Typically, closing takes four to six weeks from the time you write your offer and it is accepted. During this time, purchase funds are held in escrow, where your money is held safe until the transaction is complete.

CLOSING DISCLOSURE Lenders are required to provide you with a closing disclosure, at least three days before closing. This will show you what your final loan terms and closing costs will be. You will have three days to review the statement. This is done to ensure that there are no surprises at the closing table. If there is a significant discrepancy between the loan estimate and the closing disclosure, we must notify your lender and title company immediately.

FINAL WALK THROUGH We will do a final walk through the home within 24 hours of closing to check the property’s condition. This final inspection takes about an hour. We will make sure any repair work that the seller agreed to make has been done.

We will be sure to: • Make sure all appliances are working properly • Run the water in all the faucets and check for any possible leaks • Open and close garage doors with opener • Flush toilets

CLOSING TABLE Who will be there: Your agent A title company representative Your loan officer Any real estate attorneys involved in the transaction The closing typically happens at the title company. You will be signing lots of paper work so get your writing hand warmed up! Some of the papers you will be signing include: the deed of trust, promissory note, and other documents

Time to throw a party and get to know your new neighbors!

REVIEWS

REVIEWS

"Kudos on a job done to perfection!

My husband and I relocated our residence from Florida to Charlottesville, Virginia in early November. We only had a weekend to locate a property in the Charlottesville area.

We were so fortunate to obtain Amanda Spigone as our real estate agent. A native of Charlottesville herself, she could not do enough for us. We trudged from morning to night for the entire 3 days we had allotted to look. She found us a spectacular home in which we now happily reside." -Sharon & Pat

We recently moved from NY to Virginia and as we did not have much time to get a house, we did most of our house showings virtually.

Amanda was amazing though all of it and she was so patient with all of our needs and cold feet situations! We were able to close and move in before I started my new job!

Amanda is right person to go to if you’re looking for an agent/ house. She is very proactive when it comes to sending you listings or touring open houses. She waited for us when took a hiatus, always checked to ask if we were ready to start again, definitely recommend her. Thanks Amanda!

"My husband and I decided to move our family to Charlottesville, VA (from Falls Church, VA). We are sitting in the living room of our dream home, as I write this review, because of our awesome Keller Williams Alliance agent. After walking away from 2 homes, post-inspection, we were discouraged about finding the right home for our family. She kept searching and the only home she was insistent about us seeing is the one we ended up purchasing. Amanda knew what we wanted and needed, and she was extremely attentive and accommodating throughout the entire house-hunting process. We are so grateful for her guidance, patience and professionalism. Highly recommend!!!!!

"Amanda is so friendly and great to work with. She came recommended to me and I am so happy that we were connected. We are new to the area, first-time homebuyers, and did not know where to begin looking.

Amanda is a second-generation realtor who grew up in Charlottesville, so she knows the area extremely well. Additionally, I had no idea the style of home that I wanted and she was willing to be patient with me and frequently sent me homes that matched my criteria until we found the perfect home.

She was always very easy to contact and quick to respond. She also knows many other realtors and was able to contact them directly, which was helpful in such an aggressive sellers market.
