Buy your house with confidence

Why Hiring a Seasoned Realtor is Important 

Buying a home is so much more than "finding" the perfect one. With today's technology, anyone can look at available homes on a variety of external apps and websites and identify what they're interested in. A Realtor should do much more than let you in to see it and subsequently draft an offer for you. It is not that simple. If you think about your profession/job, you'd probably agree that it is pretty complex and not just anyone could jump in and take over. There is a lot of knowledge that person would need first before performing well or just properly, right? You'd probably also agree that not everyone performs their job as well as you do. This is true in any profession. The same is true about Realtors. If you want great representation, it requires someone who is experienced and very knowledgable in all facets.  There are many moving parts and there is a lot to know! Casey Gores Realty has a proven high-end track record for decades.

Basic considerations

• Financing: You'll have to get pre-approved for a mortgage before you submit an offer. In this market, the seller will not take your offer seriously without one. There are so many lenders. How do you know which one is the best? It does matter who you use, as they are not all created equal. There are some that create concern for Sellers, so talk to us and get a recommendation before shopping around.
• The Offer: You may have noticed that homes are selling very quickly. This is due to low home inventory, creating a larger buyer pool. This creates a great opportunity for a Seller, as properties often times have multiple offers in a very short period of time, driving prices up and allowing the Seller to cherry pick the "perfect" offer with all of the best terms. This is challenging for a buyer to be competitive, as there are a lot of unknowns. It is absolutely imperative that you hire a Realtor who can counsel you through what all of this means and can write an offer that is competitive in this market. Price is NOT the only thing that matters. There are a lot of other creative, attractive terms and a sophisticated firm like Casey Gores Realty can help you position yourself for a win.
• Negotiation: Even after your offer is accepted, negotiation often continues through various contingencies in the contract. You've probably heard the phrase: "the art of negotiation"; it truly is an art. Negotiation throughout a residential real estate transaction can be a bit challenging at times. People tend to make decisions on more of an emotional level vs. logical-- it's personal. Casey Gores Realty prides itself on helping you navigate through this and get the best results.
• The Inspection: In this competitive market, some buyers have made the mistake of making an offer without a home inspection contingency in an effort to make their offer more attractive. Unless you are highly skilled in looking for potential defects, it may not be advisable to purchase something for hundreds of thousands of dollars without knowing what potential liabilities you could be facing in the future. You can make your offer attractive while protecting yourself at the same time. Casey Gores Realty can discuss this with you and guide you in the right direction.
