time-accountable real estate transactions™

We have nailed down our buy-side real estate services into two core areas: pre- and post-offer services. We have distinguished between pre- and post-offer services based on a buyer’s knowledge of the real estate process and that of the neighborhood he or she is interested in purchasing. We have found that significant commission savings can be realized by using less agent billable time and more transaction processing billable time, which saves you money.

Our pre-offer services are focused on helping a buyer get an acceptable offer out the door. This can mean educating the buyer on the real estate process, helping him/her think through detailed listing criteria to narrow the search results, or simply validating a price and writing up the offer.

For buyers more familiar with the real estate process or those who have already found a home and made a decision to buy, we offer price validation services. These services can be in the form of our signature Benchmark Tours or an industry standard Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of like properties. Whichever service you choose, our goal is to get you as close as possible to an acceptable offer so that everyone wins in the transaction.

For those with less experience in the real estate process we provide an 8-person (maximum) seminar courses, reSrch™101 and reSrch™201. reSrch™101 is focused on understanding the terms in an offer and navigating the real estate contingencies and processes. reSrch™201 is focused on using and mastering the seemingly unending number of web based real estate tools and services offered up by the big brokers and the new dot com real estate web aggregators. These courses are designed to equip the consumer with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate the sometimes complicated industry of real estate.

Our post-offer services are focused on what happens after an offer is accepted and becomes a valid purchase and sale agreement. We follow the purchase and sale agreement through its various contingencies, assisting the buyer along the way, until closing and possession.

In a smooth transaction, our services focus less on “agent” billable hours and instead emphasize “transaction management” billable hours. We make sure that any and all contingencies are met and appropriately signed off and received in a timely manner. In the case where a sale becomes difficult, our agents are prepared and ready to intervene to protect the buyer’s interest and/or renegotiate terms based on the new information.

Our goal is simply to get you into your house: signed, recorded and in possession.
