The Real Estate process can be complicated. Our goal is to make it less so. Bringing together those with a wealth of knowledge with many varying perspectives enables us to give a higher level of service to our clients.

REALTORS

We work with REALTORS locally, and around the globe. This network of peers gives us an army of feet on the ground, searching, finding and defining what, how and who we look for when finding deals.  

PROPERTY INSPECTIONS

Even on a brand new home, one needs to have a professional overview of your investment. We consider this an essential part of the process, even though the disclosures are a part of your buying process. We give you options so you can compare one company over another, and give you a clear understanding of what to expect, how to minimize risks and how to maybe go back to renegotiate a deal.

MORTGAGE COMPANIES

With interest rates at all time lows, how does one company stack up against another? Consider for a moment whether you want a purely transactional relationship to get a loan, or will there be variables or issues that may come up? What is your risk tolerance for issues? Maybe it maybe more beneficial for you to have someone you can talk to face to face instead of a bot or a bottom of the barrel in a cubicle far far away in a distant galaxy or timezone.
