So you've decided to take the plunge this year into the world of home ownership! Excellent! There are some great homes out there well worth the price that is being asked and there are some very atttractive interest rates as well! It is a great time to take advantage of the Buyers market in Allyn, Belfair, Grapeview, Hood Canal WA and our surrounding areas to help achieve your real estate goals!

Many people do not know where to start, are scared, do not have the knowledge and end up flustered and overwhelmed with all of the homes, legailities, details and information out there. Let me help you. I am an expert in the real estate market in the Allyn, Belfair, Grapeview, Hood Canal and surrounding areas in Mason County WA.
So where DO you start?
You want to start with a "knowledgeable, professional, "local to the market you are looking at" agent (that would be me) and a good lender.
WHY?
-
Organization and having the right information,direction, skills and tools is KEY to avoid undue stress, rejection, disappointment and a smooth transaction.
-
Let me show you how to do just that as well as handle the "organization" of your home ownership dream.
-
Just like anyone savvy in HIS market and product, a LOCAL agent knows his market and can give you the best information on what is going on in the area and the best homes to be looking at that fit YOU and YOUR goals along with a lot of other valuable information. An out of area agent does not know the local market. If you have an agent that is not familiar with the area you would like to move to, ask them to refer you to an agent. I work with many agents out of the area in this regard.
-
I can also refer you to many community resources, lenders (this will be the first thing I ask you to do and your 2nd step if you have contacted me already, in looking for a home. We will go into more detail on that in the next blog),inspectors, escrow companies, attorneys, restaurants and many other facts and info about the community. I have many resources at my fingertips so you don't have to do the digging for them.
-
I can save you a lot of energy and time by doing the legwork for you which well help narrow down the homes that fit your criteria (budgets, wants and needs).
-
I will preview homes and make appointments to determine if they would fit your goals and criteria.
-
I can access any home that is listed with any agent on the Multiple Listing Service in our area - that's A LOT OF homes. I can also contact For Sale by Owner homes as well to get details and arrange for showings and possible negotiations.
-
Once you have found the home you would like to purchase, I will guide you through the offer process, the negotiations, the legalities and many many details of purcha
sing a home.
Let me take the fear and stress out of the plunge and show you a smooth dive into home ownership. I am an expert in the Allyn, Belfair, Grapeview, Hood Canal and Mason County WA area, experienced,knowledgeable and know the many, many details and legalities involved in a real estate transaction.
Those are just a few of the many details that I handle as a real estate agent in the communities of Mason County WA. In my next blog we'll discuss how YOU can help ME as your team member in your plunge. Give me a call, drop me a line, visit my website, I would love to sit down and discuss your goals when you are ready to take the plunge! People and homes are my business and I believe in building lifelong relationships. My success is your success!

Good blog Valerie. I specialize in First time home buyers in Orlando and my suggestion is the first step is always the lender. If they happen to find me first fine, but we dont do anything until they speak with the lender.
Congratulations on 100! Good info. buying a home is a fun process if you have the right Agent-Dinah lee
Thanks Heather - yep - lender is the first thing I will ask them to do! Thanks for stopping in.
Dinah - Ahhh soo you were waiting and monitoring!! EHEHEHEH - it can be fun and I try to make it fun as well as serious! Thanks for stopping in!
P.S. Heather - I thought I was still in draft - thanks for catching that for me!
Very well written and excellent information for home buyers, Val. I completely agree and see more buyers stepping up, especially intelligent people who will plan to live in their home for at least 2 years so they can sell and avoid capital gains tax.
Valerie - Great way to show buyers what you are all about... It's a great time to "Take A Plunge"
Kristian - Thank you! This year I believe we will see more taking the plunge!
Debbie - It sure is a great time to take the plunge! Thanks for stopping in!
