10 THINGS...
Buyers Should Consider When Buying a Home
Think about what would be beneficial for future resale. It’s just as important to think about options as you make such a big investment that would impact your ability to quickly and profitability sell the home should you have to in the future
Avoid Buying the Best House on the Block –Buying the best house limits investment growth, while a smaller or fixer-upper home can increase in value over time. The law of averages brings the smaller home's value upwards towards the middle, while bringing the larger home's value downwards towards the middle.
Consider the Home’s Position on the Lot –Sunlight, privacy, and surroundings impact desirability, resale value, and even Feng Shui.
Location is Everything – You can change a house but not its location, which affects long-term value, desirability, and resale potential
10 THINGS...Continued
School Districts Matter – Homes in top school districts hold value better, even for buyers without children.
Urban Walkability Adds Value – Proximity to stores, schools, transit, and entertainment makes a home more desirable and increases resale potential.
Check Crime Rates – Research local crime stats online to ensure you ’ re comfortable with neighborhood safety.
eighborhood Character Counts – Visit at different times of day, observe traffic and noise, and talk to neighbors before buying Assess Home Value Growth – Work with an expert like Nicole to analyze past and projected home values for longterm investment potential.
Fixer-Upper? Know What You’re Getting Into –Inspections, zoning laws, costs, and renovation logistics should be fully understood before committing.
Factor in Taxes and Fees – Consider property taxes, HOA dues, and potential assessments that could impact affordability and resale.
How will you tell me about the newest homes available?
The Multiple Listing Service website provides upto-date information for every home on the market. I constantly check the New on Market list so I can be on the lookout for my clients. I will get you this information right away the way that is most convenient for you, by phone and/or e-mail
Will you inform me of homes from all real estate companies or only certain brokerages? I will keep you informed of all homes. I want to help you find your dream home, which means I need to stay on top of every home that's available in the market.
Can you help me find new construction homes?
Yes, I can work with most builders and get you the information you need to make a decision. On your first visit with the builder, I will accompany you. By using my services with a new construction home purchase, you will receive the services I offer, as well as those provided by the builder, at no additional cost.
How does for sale by owner (FSBO) work?
Homeowners trying to sell their home without agent representation are usually doing so in the hopes of saving money, but they are still available to you. If you see a FSBO and want the advantages of my services, let me contact the owner for you and make an appointment. -15-
Can we go back through our property again once an offer is made, but before possession?
Yes, usually we can notify the seller and schedule a convenient time to visit the property again. Immediately before the closing, we will schedule a final walk-through and inspection of your new home.
Once my offer is accepted, what should I do?
Celebrate and focus on getting all requested documents to the title company and the lender. You will get specific instructions from us on next-steps as we move through the process. If we have an option period, you will organize the inspection asap. You will be organizing your information for the loan, closing, property insurance, utilities and moving dates. Don't worry, I won't let you miss a thing

We had an amazing experience working with Nicole Cooper! My wife and I are first time home buyers and she guided us the entire way with her knowledge and patience. Nicole was very responsive and stayed on top of the seller to make sure everything in the home was what we were expecting. I’m so glad she was recommended to us and I would refer her to anyone looking to buy property in the Austin area. R.Gonzales

Nicole was able to answer all of our questions and provide valuable advice that ultimately helped us secure the home of our dreams. She was always available to address any concerns we had and was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. I felt confident in her abilities every step of the way, and I could not have asked for a better realtor to help us navigate the competitive Austin housing market.
