Your Guide to Buying a Home
Working With Us
We are your team of trusted real estate advisors with the EXPERIENCE to get the job done; we consistently provide exceptional SERVICE and a solid COMMITMENT to you!
Experience
We pride ourselves on experience and education. Each licensed real estate professional on our team has a formal college education, is a Realtor, a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and is a certified Ninja Agent. A real estate sale or purchase is often the largest financial decision a person makes; we take this seriously and are here to advise you to the best of our ability.
Service
We are your full-time, full-service team, whether you are buying or selling; client service and delighting you is job #1. We drive the process; you always drive the decision. We work by repeat and referral business and hope you will share your positive experiences with your family and friends.
Commitment
As your exclusive buyer agent/exclusive seller agent, our goal is to build a long-term relationship with you versus ‘selling you something.’ Buying and selling real estate is a complex process, and our goal is to simplify it as much as possible to ultimately reduce the stress and increase your satisfaction throughout the entire process.
Give Where You Live
We are proud to support local charities in Mesa County – a portion of our annual revenue is donated to charitable organizations that impact our community. Our goal is to give back to our local Grand Junction neighborhoods, and we are so thankful for our amazing clients and the incredible opportunity to make Mesa County a better place to live, work, and play! We believe in the abundance of giving back. It’s about community effort, and we hope that it will encourage others to give back as well!
Make Your Plans
After answering the following questions, you will be in a great position to research your housing and mortgage options as well as create the appropriate action plan and timeline for moving forward.
SET YOUR PRIORITIES:
• What do you want from a home?
• What does your family want from a home?
• Do you want a turnkey home, or would you prefer to renovate?
• Choose the top five ‘must-haves.’
• Choose the top five ‘would-likes.’
• Are you pre-approved for a mortgage?
• What can you afford on a monthly basis?
• When is your ideal time to move?
Understanding Market Value
The current selling price of a home does not mean that a property is worth that amount – market conditions and what a buyer is willing to pay for a property affect the true value of the home at any moment in time.
When deciding the value of any property, the following criteria should be considered:
• Location of the property
• Condition of the property
• Buyer demand
• Current prices of similar properties
• Recent sales of competitive properties
• Availability of financing
Ultimately, the value of any property is dependent on what is important to you and whether this is the home that you wish to buy.
