Buying Services for Tampa Bay Home Buyers


If you're a BUYER:

Why ME and our TEAM?

  • No PRESSURE or HARD SALES - our research and customer feedback tells us YOU will let us know when you are ready to buy.
  • Our services are FREE to buyers.
  • We will show you as many houses as you like.  Normally, a potential buyer will be shown 12 - 15 homes per showing - and we do multiple days of showing!  You do the math. However, we pride ourselves on zeroing in the EXACT property that meets your requirements - to make your life EASIER.
  • Most Realtors will show you a few homes then pressure you to make an offer. WE DO NOT DO THAT.  PERIOD.  Buying a home is one of your most important purchase. YOU need to know that the property you buy is the right home for YOU.
  • We are homeowners, home buyers, and home sellers ourselves.  Thus, we have developed an excellent network of appraisers, home inspectors, mortgage lenders, and other real estate vendors.  We get it right the first time because our VENDORS (click for a list of Preferred Vendors) serve YOU the BEST!

HOUSE HUNTING without a REALTOR?  First, sellers pay commissions to brokers, not buyers. Most buyers think they can save anywhere from 1% - 3%of the purchase price by house-hunting on their own, simply because they are not represented by a Realtor? Unfortunately, all you'll do is double the listing agent's commission because they get both the buyer's and seller's commissions.  Consider this...

  1. PRICE - Do you have the latest comps?  Do you know that the public records are NORMALLY 2 WEEKS BEHIND the MLS system?  WE KNOW THE MOST RECENT SALES BEFORE THE PUBLIC
  2. NEGOTIATING - Be careful what you say...if you mention you need to buy quick or are unsure of what is for sale, you have lost money.  WE KNOW HOW TO NEGOTIATE ON YOUR BEHALF   
  3. CONTRACT DETAILS - Nothing could be worse than buying a home and realizing the seller took the appliances you bought!  WE MAKE SURE IT'S IN YOUR CONTRACT.
  4. COMPLETING THE SALE - There is much more to buying a home than getting the price you want.  There's the Home Inspection, the Appraisal, the Survey, the Closing...WE GUIDE YOU THROUGH...ALL FOR FREE!

    Our services:

We will show you as many houses as you desire and then gather comparables to show you what similar houses have sold for in the past few months. We're expert negotiators and we use that to our advantage to negotiate the best price for you.  We will save you money, and we will tell you exactly how, where, and why. Professional negotiation skills is the key and the leverage comes from having the tools and knowledge to do so. 

In the following reports, you'll find the information you need to make a wise buying decision.  We'll take you through the planning process step-by-step , to help you determine which home is right for you.  You'll find a host of informative articles on mortgages, viewing homes, the offer, closing details and moving.

Please contact us if you have any questions about buying a home in the Tampa Bay area (or elsewhere in Florida).
