With our extremely limited inventory of houses for sale, what does it take for a buyer to successfully purchase a home in Belmont, California?
Here's what worked for my first-time buyers, who will be closing on their home next week:
- They had a plan, they knew their financial situation, they knew what was important to them.
- They shared that information with me so I could focus on suitable properties, and arrange showings within a day or so of hitting the market.
- They worked with a lender I knew and trusted, promptly got everything to the lender that she requested.
- They read the disclosure packet as did I.
- They asked numerous questions to gain full understanding; they signed all pages once they understood what they meant.
- They listened to my assessment of the house, the market conditions, and the statistics I prepared for them.
- They made a clean offer, at a very good price, with terms appealing to the seller.
- They removed their one contingency on time, and we're set to close on time.
If you are a buyer today in San Mateo County or the Silicon Valley, the road to home ownership often isn't quick, and it's not easy. But ---
it can have a great reward at the end!
