Why Do You Need A REALTOR®? A Realtor brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the business of buying a home. In fact, a licensed real estate professional provides much more than the service of helping you find the home of your dreams. REALTORS® are not just sales agents. They are expert negotiators, seasoned financial advisors and superb navigators around the local neighborhood. They are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and must abide by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice enforced by the NAR. The Jean Gross Team, with 23+ years of experience, has sold hundreds of homes in Chester County....this is our value proposition: We are REALTORS® and members of the National Association of REALTORS®.
Step by Step... The Buying Process
Find a REALTOR® You Can Trust... Getting Started: Whether you have done it once, a dozen times, or never before, a real estate transaction can be a terrifying, stressful and exhilarating experience. The decision to buy a home will be one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make. Buying a home is not an event but a process. Let The Jean Gross Team guide you through this critical process with the expertise to make your transaction successful. We would like to provide you with the “Consumer’s Guide To The Agreement of Sale.” Call or email us today to receive this free booklet!
Looking For a Home... The Next Step: The search begins with a “Needs Analysis” to establish the kind of home and neighborhood that will best suit your lifestyle. The Jean Gross Team knows the housing market inside and out and can help you avoid many a “wild goose chase.” Our Buyer Specialists can help you with any house -- even if it is listed elsewhere, or is being sold by the owner directly. The Jean Gross Team knows the best lenders in the area, can help you get pre-qualified for a mortgage and can discuss down payments, closing costs and monthly payment options. Our Team is an excellent source for general information about the community, specific information about schools, churches, shopping, transportation, plus tips on home inspection and pricing.
Your Offer... Be Careful: This is a BIG Step: When you find that home, you will want to present a competitive offer. The Jean Gross Team has extensive experience in contract negotiations. They will ensure that you get the most house for the best price -- a transaction in your best interest.
The Contract... We are Starting to Jog Now: When the Seller accepts your offer, the home will go “under contract.” You will want to make sure every detail is handled accurately and in a timely fashion. The devil is in the details. That is when The Jean Gross Team Closing Manager steps up to the plate. His mission: Contract to Close -- a grand slam every time!
Inspections…You are in the “HOME” Stretch! Inspections are performed to ensure that you know what you are purchasing and there are no surprises. Contract details are further negotiated and we head to closing!
Now it is YOURS! Congratulations! The next step will be into your new home. The moment you have been anticipating has arrived. The closing is where home ownership is legally transferred from the seller to the buyer. It is a formal meeting that most parties involved in the transaction will attend. Closing procedures are usually held at the Title Company’s Office. The closing officer will coordinate all paperwork and disbursement of funds.
The next steps you will take will be over the threshold of your new home! |
