Rhonda's California network provides the lock and keys to open other Realtor's lockboxes in your area. She personally can even arrange to set appointments with "for sale by owners".
If it is for sale, she can usually get it open for you to look at & the information you need!
Many people think they can avoid commissions by doing things themselves. This could be plain silly for a buyer when their commission is paid by the seller! Often there is an agent "phobia" seen in new buyers untl they find an agent they trust. The tools an agent uses can save you wasting much time. How are going to know the status of a property for sale and what is actually going on?
As your Realtor, Rhonda Ciardetti will work with the agent and broker selling the home that you are interested in.
Besides the useful browsing of property on the interent, there are other items to consider when looking to make a home investment. Unless you have an all cash offer, one of the initial things many people do is to pre-qualify. Why? You pre-qualify so you know what home price ranges are appropriate to the amount of loan possibly available to you. Obviously everyone can't afford that 4 million dollar California beach property! Sometimes what we think we will qualify for, and what we are really able to qualify for, are different loan amounts. It can be a waste of your time to look at properties that you will not qualify to get a loan for. Your realtor works with your lender and escrow company and can help you understand how to get started really buying a property.
Since an investment is usually considerable, consulting with a professional licensed realtor is often the path chosen. Unfortunately new buyers sometimes have to miss out on genuine valuable opportunities and learn the hard way. They think they are saving a commission by trying to buy a property without the help of an agent. The legal binding contracts involved, escrow process, and their investment can be in jeopardy. This can be extremely costly if not handled correctly.
Professional realtors have inside MLS confidential information about the property available in your area. They have lockbox access of other realtors as well as the broker they work with. They even make appointments with for sale by owners. Much of the contract support & complicated transactions can be addressed by your licensed agent and their broker of record. They guide you through the process. Informed decision making is usually beneficial. When your loan is approved & your realtor has gotten a letter from the lender, you may want to submit an offer.
Decide on location, home requirements, and what is affordable before searching. Consulting with a professional licensed realtor from a reputable company can benefit you through this complicated process.
1) Visit a home with a licensed agent and official Realtor from a company you trust.
2) Narrow options. Get contract assistance, and get valuable property reports by consulting with a professional.
3) Make the Offer to purchase. Legal Binding Contract.
As your agent I can: Send you reports of available property in your price range, open lockboxes to show you homes, present your legal binding offers to the seller's agent, work with your loan officer and title search company, provide overall professional property contract and transaction support, give you upfront information of expenses, estimates, and commissions.
