Collins Structured to Serve
Group Realty
“We are so grateful that we chose Collins Group Realty. Our home buying experience was wonderful. Our agent was very knowledgeable of the market and area we were buying in. Our agent made several calls during our loan process just to make sure all was going smooth and nice. The housewarming gift we received after we moved in was an unexpected surprise. Overall, my husband and myself are so happy with Collins Group Realty. Thank you for a wonderful experience!�

The Group Structure A lot of real estate agents are generalists - they try to do it all themselves, from listing homes to showing properties to taking photos and scheduling inspections. Needless to say, no one agent can effectively and proactively handle all of the tasks that are presented in any given day if the agent is truly attending to the needs of ALL their clients (buyers and sellers). And why should you settle for anything but the best? All of our Buyer Specialists are fully-licensed, experienced agents who were hand selected to be involved in Collins Group Realty. They have naturally gravitated toward a genuine interest in helping buyer-clients locate and purchase their ideal properties – this is their primary focus within the Team. Our Buyer Specialists have the benefit of the assistance of our full-support staff and the luxury of knowing that all other matters are being handled during the time that they work with our buyer-clients. When working with our Buyer Specialists, you will quickly recognize the commitment that they have to helping you meet your real estate interests and goals. You will benefit greatly from their creativity, their energetic drive, theirpositive attitude and their general love for the business.

Knowledge is Power Buying a home is not an every day activity and as such, the unknown and unfamiliar can be very exciting and stressful. We believe that knowledge is power and when the time comes to make an offer, you need to feel comfortable with the legal documents you’ll be signing. Please take a moment to review the documents that are included in this packet and, of course, don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all... - Agency Disclosure Brochure - Buyer Agency Agreement - Contract of Sale - Professional Services Selection Form - Approximation of Closing Costs
“From one initial email contact and continuing right through to the closing of our new home, Collins Group Realty provided us outstanding professional service every step of the way. Their knowledge of the local housing market combined with their understanding of our personal needs made this a truly enjoyable home buying search and purchase.�
