Benefits to working with me Jean Silver as your Buyer’s agent Buying a home is one of the most exciting times in one's life. The possibilities of what you might find, envisioning yourself somewhere new and different, can be almost intoxicating. It will change your life, in many great ways. It's also important to be realistic about the process and what to expect. This is why I believe that open and honest communication is the key to a successful real estate transaction. I'd love to help make this happen together, as a team. Below you'll find my commitments to you and the steps I take to make the process as streamlined and convenient as possible. I use a blend of innovation, technology and truly personalized service to custom-fit your needs. The best thing about being a buyer is that you get an ally and a consultant, usually at no cost to you. Scroll down and get started! My Commitments to You as a Buyer: The best thing about having me, a professional, full-time Realtor, in your service when looking for a home, is that I often hear about properties before they hit the market. Every Wednesday the Agents in my office meet to discuss listings that are “coming up”. As a result, many sell before they actually make it to the market. When you’re a Buyer working with me, I’ll talk about your needs as well. Wouldn’t it be great to buy a home before anyone else knew about it? I’ll also send you new listings on a daily basis, so that you can see all that comes on the market and all the properties that have prices adjustments. Having lived in Portland for over 20 years, I know and understand each of the distinct neighborhoods of Portland. I consider it part of my job to be able to describe to you the schools, proximity to parks, great grocery stores, shops and restaurants. You buy a house, but you live in a neighborhood. I provide a wealth of information about Portland. Especially for my out-of-town clients who are moving here, I've done my research and can provide you with the best links about Portland, these include schools and neighborhoods, parks and recreation, and an ever-upgraded Business Referral Directory, for all kinds of services from Barbers to Veterinarians. If you need help finding a great mortgage broker, I have several contacts with loan officers who specialize in many different programs, from the basics of an owner-occupied house to more interesting situations that might require some finessing. All of the people I have found to work with have an incredible focus on customer service, and have proven themselves to be amazing resources. From first-time buyers who may need down payment or closing cost assistance, to retirees buying second homes, the Lenders I refer can handle your needs. After your offer has been accepted, and while it is in escrow, I will be in constant contact with you, your lender and the escrow office, making sure all is on track. After your transaction has closed, I will be in touch to give you annual updates on the value of your home, as well as sending information throughout the year, and being available for questions that may arise concerning taxes, service questions, etc. Plus, you’ll be included in my on-going Client Appreciation Program And remember … the Service is Platinum! |
