NEED TO MOVE INTO A MARIN HOME BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS?

The Marin Country schools starts in three weeks,  Do you need to move into the county by then? 

Don't panic, you still have time and I can help you to do just that! Give me a call at (415) 717-0293 and we will work together to get you settled in before then.  

Here is what we will do together (abbreviated version);

1). Buyers Interview - I like to talk to my buyers first about their needs and wants.  Most of these come from the understanding of some of your personal information - you family, your jobs and office location - how long a commute you are willing to take, your hobby, your likes and dislikes, your financial situation, how long do you plan to stay in the house, .. etc. This sets a background for me when I look for the right house for you.  

2).  Get Pre-Approved.  Even through there is a lot of houses on the market, until you know how much mortgage you can comfortably afford, we will not be able to know the kind of homes you will be able to buy.  Without the pre-approval letter, the sellers will not have the comfortable level needed to close your purchase quickly. 

I have a team of mortgage brokers I work with and we can get you pre-approved very quickly if you have al the required information together.

3). Find the Right House.  Now we have the financial perimeter and your needs and wants,  we will set out and find the right house for you and your family.  As there are many houses on the market, you will need a realtor who knows about the area, the schools, communities and the surrounding areas to point you to the right direction.  

4). Make a Successful Offer.  Since I know the local real estate market inside and out, you will be able to make a winning offer when you find the right house - I will advise you on the sale price of comparable properties so you are confident that you have made the right offer.

5).  Working through the Escrow.  Once we are in escrow, I will make sure that you meet all contractual obligation for the escrow process. I will help you set up timely inspections with reputable inspectors, evaluate the inspection reports and title report produced, and assist you in negotiating for any repairs or credit back for the house.  You will be the loan set up for close of escrow.

6). Close of Escrow.  With due diligence, we will be able to close escrow within 14 days or even shorter if needed.  This will allow you ample time to move into the house you like.

This, of course, is an abbreviated version of the whole process, but don't get discouraged or intimidated.  Give me a call and let's get started so you can move into your new home before school starts!!!

By Working Together, We Can Make It Happen!
