Motivation is the driving force by which humans achieve their goals. Therefore when I decide to aid a client who is investing in real estate I require motivation. From the moment we start looking at potential real estate investments my buyers need to be available, accessible and definitely able to communicate. As a professional Associate Broker in today's real estate market I have no time to waste. In my opinion respect has to be given in this regard on both sides.
The motivated buyer will be willing to follow the steps in the home buying process:
1. Pre-Approval letter from a Lender. ( Most Realtor's like myself will not even show properties without a pre-approval letter) This process eliminates a lot of heartache, would it not serve you best to know upfront how much home you can afford.
2. Be available to view properties that meet your criteria. Keep a list of your must haves and would like to have in your new home. You will find as we move along some of these will change.
3. Have funds available for Earnest Money deposit when making an offer. Within a set number of business days from the binding agreement date of the purchase and sale agreement, the earnest money check has to be deposited by the broker.
