You need an agent who can take you on house tours when it's convenient for you. We'll always adjust our schedule to fit yours – no matter how sporadic it is – so that you can find the right home, on your time.
First-time home buyer? Kevin Leatherman shares what you need to know in this 60-second video.
Our process is designed to push you from potential homebuyer → homeowner fast. When you work with Leatherman Homes, here's what to expect.
In our initial consultation, we'll listen to what you want and need in a home. We'll use this information to narrow down your options, and only send you homes that fit your criteria.
If you haven't already been pre-approved, we'll introduce you to our mortgage partner who will help you determine your buying price range with confidence.
Knock out the homes that aren't for you, and find the one that has what you're looking for. We'll make sure you know everything about the home – and the neighborhood – before you're ready to submit an offer.
At this point in the process – once you find a home you love – we'll write your offer, aggressively negotiate on your behalf, organize the inspection, appraisal, and make sure you walk away with a result you're satisfied with.
On average, many buyers find a home within a few months of when they begin their search. The buyers who are able to find homes in this market are the ones who are decisive and prepared. They've made their wish list and know their deal breakers. That way when a home hits the market - they don't hesitate.
The short answer: Yes, you can. However, it becomes a problem when you have to sell your house as a contingency in purchasing your next house. Most sellers won't be interested in accepting an offer that has this contingency. As long as you have the cash available for the down payment and/or the financing secure, you can buy a home without selling your existing one, and sell it after you sign the sales agreement.
This is the million dollar question. It entirely depends on the situation, the location, the condition of the home, and how much money you're willing to put into the home after you purchase it. These are all things that an experienced agent can talk you through. In some instances, it makes sense to waive contingencies to win the home and in others, it will be a nightmare.
People keep choosing Leatherman Homes to help guide them through the home buying process because we're ever-present, but not overbearing. Because we solve problems, instead of looking the other way. And because we always go the extra mile for our clients, when most agents wouldn't.
No matter where you're at in the home buying process, we would love to hear from you and see how we can help.
