Home Buying Information

     Did you know that if you have a Realtor assisting you in finding a home,  and you do not have an

"Exclusive Buyers Representation Agreement"

 signed with them, they are working for the home seller, not you?

      Did you know the services of a Realtor are almost always free of charge for the Home Buyer of both new and resale homes? Did you know the cost of "Exclusive Buyer Representation" is already built into the sales price; you will be paying for it whether you are represented or not!

     Call me before you go into the sales office of a new subdivision. This can save you thousands of dollars! Check our  Home Selling Marketing Plans to see how to save money on selling your current home when purchasing your next.

     The Home Buying Information section of our web site is broken into 6 separate sections for your convenience.

1. Exclusive Buyer Representation 

2. The Home Buying Process  

3. Home Buying Contracts 

4. Mortgage Information 

5. Free Home Buying Reports 

6. Property Search

 1. A MUST READ! Know who a Realtor is working for before talking to them! This section shows the different ways in which a Realtor can represent customers and clients. The Exclusive Buyer Representation section includes a copy of the actual agreement required for a Realtor to represent their clients legally as a Buyer's Representative. If you don't have one, they are working for the seller, period.

 2. The Home Buying Process section will give you an overview of the entire home buying process. Understanding the process beforehand will show you how to make the best use of your valuable time, while positioning yourself to negotiate the best terms possible when you find a home you like.  

3. In the Home Buying Contracts section, you will find copies of the actual contracts Realtors typically use when making an offer to purchase a home. As each transaction is unique, there may be additional contracts and addendums required. 

4. The Mortgage Information section links you to our Mortgage Company's web site which has a wealth of information including online tools to learn more about the different types of home loans and pre-qualification and payment calculators. You can even apply for your mortgage from this site.

5. Several Buyer Reports can be found in the Home Buying Free Reports section. 

6. The Property Search section provides links to the The Houston Multiple Listing Service that allows you to search both new, and resale properties to meet your exact specifications.
