Sometimes Buying a Home Can

Seem a Bit Puzzling...

But it Doesn't Have to be...

Craig Rutman, your Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area Realtor can help you put the pieces together on the home buying puzzle!



If you've finally decided that now is the time to fulfill your dream of owning a new home, your decision couldn't have come at a better time!


Interest rates are at historical lows. Banks are really lending money again.
And here, in the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area of North Carolina, there are still some great deals to be had on a new home.

 

But is that home you've had your eyes on really a great deal? Which lender will give me good terms on a loan? How will I know if that home is even functionally sound?


And, that my friends, is where I come in to the picture!


In nearly every scenario, having a buyer's agent here in North Carolina doesn't cost you anything. But not having one could very well cost you plenty.


When you hire me as your buyer agent, we'll work as a team to get the job done while promoting your best interests and providing you with all the facts and figures regarding the home you're thinking of purchasing.

My team of lenders, attorneys and inspectors are prepared to answer all the questions that may come up during your transaction.

And, by the time you ever put pen to paper, you'll know everything that can possibly be known about the house you're prepared to call home!

Craig, in this market having someone who knows how to put all the pieces together is what's needed. Especially is they can reach into their pocket once it's almost done and fit the last pieces to complete the deal. 5 black spots and only 3 pieces showing?

Caren - You know me well enough to know if I neded help or not!!!!! You have a great 4th too!

Bill - I thought about this one for a print ad. I felt it came out pretty good and worthy of marketing my services. If it's working for you, the listing King of the MetroWest, MA market, thn maybe I should strongly consider it.

Jackie - Shhhh. Heather's sleeping right now!!! But, no. Heathr is my only!

Ed - You know I'm not playing with a full deck puzzle!!!! Leave it to you to see all the details!!!!

Kathleen - I love that you love the puzzle picture Kathleen! I've been to your web site and read your posts. You're pretty creative too my friend.

Ed - Attention to details are what gives us a level of success. Speaking of attention to details you need to update your profile picture. I noticed fillicle #454 is out of place!!!!

Craig, I guess I don't have to tell you that was a great tie in with the puzzle. Your post really pulled it all together...now as for that young, eh, lady above me...I've got to admit I'm a little uncomfortable being this close. Another great job, Craig.

Nick - Thank you sir. I was talking to a 1st timer who I sold a home to this year. He was telling me that he was so confused about the whole home buying process before he spoke to me. That, in a nutshell, was my inspiration for this post. Now about that lady above...All I did was Photoshop you out of the picture of you two at the prom!!!

Nevin - You've earned those kudos my friend. I took a chance a few years back when the lender I was using left the business. You rose to the occasion and I've not looked back!

Craig, It can be like a gigantic puzzle for home buyers!  Luckily you are there to help them.  I really liked it when you said that having a buyers agent doesn't cost anything and not having one may cost plenty!  Good job Craig!
