Santa Cruz Real Estate-5 Steps To Success

Using the internet to find your new home is great!

The internet is a wonderful tool for home buyers and sellers. Personally, I enjoy working with buyers and sellers who are comfortable using the internet. Internet enabled home buyers and sellers are much more realistic about their real estate transactions and often have a better understanding of the process.

Many home buyers don't realize the hard work starts after a potential new home is located. Having an experienced realtor who knows the area and will negotiate on your behalf can save you money right from the start. Equally important, is for your agent to guide you through the inspections on your new home to ensure that the property has no defects that will seriously effect value.

If you follow the 5 steps below, you too will be successful in locating a quality home in the Santa Cruz area, and you will have all of the advantages that the internet savvy buyer enjoys!

1. Study the Santa Cruz real estate market by viewing current property listings on my web site. Also, you sign up to receive automatic email notification of new listings that meet your specifications.

2. As you find homes ( or other properties ) that you like, write down the address or MLS numbers and email them to me with a note about what features you found attractive and any questions you have about the properties. If you wish, we can set a time to view them at your convenience.

3. I'll do deeper research on your MLS choices and email you with more details. As we go back and forth this way, we both get a clearer idea of the kind of home you want. You also learn to trust me based on my concern and responsiveness.

4. Because of all this, when you are ready to look at homes in person, we visit only homes that are closest to meeting your needs.

5. Then, as your "buyer's agent" I represent you during the purchase of your home. I handle all of the paperwork ensuring that all aspects of the home purchase are as favorable to you as possible. I will work hard to negotiate the lowest possible purchase price for your new home and guide you through the escrow process.
