Recently there have been some unsettling things in the news that involve the safety of real estate agents, so I just wanted to take a moment to explain how we take precautions to safeguard ourselves in this line of work. What we do is inherently dangerous, but we can take steps to avoid bad situations.

One of the things we avoid doing is meeting a prospective client at a house before we've met them. We always insist that you come speak with us at our office before we take you to a listing. We just ask that you consider how you'd feel if your wife, daughter or son were being asked to meet a stranger in a vacant house. It's just not a safe situation at all. 

This is why we like to screen our potential buyers, so we can ensure that they're serious about buying and do not have any other intentions. Other than safety concerns, we think the experience you have with us is always much better when you come in and meet us, because that gives us the opportunity to cater to all of your individual needs. Almost all of the problems that arise in a real estate transaction will come from a lack of communication, and this can be avoided with a consultation at the beginning of a home search.

If you ever need any help buying or selling homes in Birmingham, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm always willing to help you!

 The spring real estate season is right around the corner! To prepare all our first-time home buyers, we thought we would share some tips today to help ease the process for you! 

  1. Learn about the process: Sit down with a real estate expert so you can find out what it's going to cost you out of pocket for things like home inspections and other common steps in the process.
  2. Contact a great lender: Knowing what you can afford is crucial to the home search. Closing costs and unexpected fees are only a few of the many things that could surprise you in a real estate transaction. 
  3. Purchasing will cost less: If you're still thinking about renting to save money, you may be mistaken. In many instances, we've been able to find a home that buyers love and that is cheaper than renting.

We hope you found some of this information helpful. If you would like some more detailed tips on how you can make informed decisions when buying in the spring market, give us a call or shoot us a quick email. We would love to give you a hand!
