Allow The Pros to Work and Close!

All Realtors have access to the MLS system. From there they search the inventory and send you the homes best fit for you to review.

If you love one, offer up. The seller will go with the best offer.

Once the contract has come to mutual agreement, buyer and seller will sign.

If it’s not yours, you’ll have to continue your search.

This is where the practice of patience comes handy!

Your Realtor will ask for availability to schedule your showings.

If it is, they may counter or accept.

Your offer requires you to sign the initial contract and wait for the Seller to review and respond.

TYPICALLY: •
