Buying

Protecting you from start to finish, including fighting for the lowest price, working with thorough home inspectors, setting you up with a complimentary moving concierge and protecting your asset with a full home warranty

As somebody who works with sellers as well, I know that homeowners like to work with buyers the feel they know and like. That’s why I take the time to investigate the sellers online and key in on details inside their home to uncover if you share any passions, interests or hobbies with them. We then craft a love letter or video that I’ll put front and center in your offer. I have personally witnessed sellers of mine drop the price 5 figures for a buyer with a love letter that resonated with them.

Getting a lender pre-approval proving your ability to buy is free, confidential, easy and doesn’t hurt your credit score as they use a soft-pull. Seller’s will not look at your offer unless you have one of these attached to the offer.

My lender Amy will ask you how much you’d like to spend or what you’d like your monthly payment to be, collect some info from you and generate a number! All you need is last two years tax returns, pay stubs and bank statements including assets like retirement portfolios. Click below to get started!

Imagine having a free assistant who’s ONLY job is to help make your move easy! The MoveEasy concierge provides you a full time assistant whose job is to help you with all things moving, including finding movers and storage, setting up utilities at your new home, finding the best deals on internet and home insurance, arranging mail forwarding and more! As soon as we go pending on your new home, the Concierge will start seeing what you need to make your life easier.

77% of home buyers face unexpected repairs costs in their first year. This means things our home inspection couldn’t predict that could cost over $10,000.

 

Paying another massive bill after parting with your home down payment sounds scary right? If you buy with us we purchase a 12 month FULL American Home Shield warranty meaning your plumbing, heating/cooling, electrical and all appliances are covered with no annual cap.

 

If your furnace dies on Day 1 and costs $9,000 to replace we’ve got it covered! 

Deposit Your Earnest Money

EM is Typically 1% of Offered Price Due From You to Escrow within 2-3 Days of Pending Date. If we end up closing the sale, these funds are wrapped into your closing costs (down payment etc) but if we back out using a contingency you’re fully refunded.

Pending

“Pending” means we have a purchase contract but there are contingencies that have to be satisfied the sale closes and you legally own the home.

Inspection Contingency

During this phase we order inspections, contractors bids and canvass the neighbors to ensure they’re not crazy. Consider it a “Get Out of Jail Free” card; its buyer’s sole discretion which means we can use the inspection to back out without giving cause. Once we waive this contingency you are committed to the sale unless there is another contingency in place.

Financing Contingency

This clause protects you in case for some reason you become unfinanceable before the sale closes e.g. losing your job.

  • If buying cash, the buyer has to provide evidence of funds within 3 days of pending.

Other “Buyer’s Sole Discretion” Contingencies

This means you can back out with no justification;. Examples are Well, Septic, Leased Property and Homeowners Association contingencies. Seller delivers reports on these things to us which can then play and move forward or back out regardless of the results. Even if the septic report comes back good you can still legally disapprove it and back out.

Possession

Typically you’ll possess the home on closing day. You can start moving in that night or in a month, up to you but you’ll be making the mortgage payments so may as well get on it!

Operating with ethics and integrity is the heart beat of our business. The Code of Ethics holds us to a higher standard of ethics and transparency then does Washington realty law and is our “True North.” We promise to always keep your interests at heart, disclose any relationships with vendors and referrals and shoot you straight if we think you’re overpaying on the buying side or accepting too little on the selling side.
