Steps I Will Take To Help You Find Your Perfect Home

Determine Your Wants and Needs

This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions I will establish what you are looking for. My goal is to find you the right home and not waste your time by looking at properties that are not in your price range or homes that don't meet your needs. Throughout the buying process I will maintain your confidentiality and represent your best interests.

Help You Get Pre-Qualified and Pre-Approved

This step will show you how much you can afford.  This is accomplished by speaking with your financial institution and establishing what monthly payments you will be comfortable with. Many sellers will not proceed with an offer until they know they are dealing with someone who is pre-qualified and pre-approved. I'll help you get there quickly!

Finding the Right Home

I will use our powerful search programs and the latest real estate technology tools to find the properties that match your search parameters.  I will personally screen them to make sure they meet the criteria you and I agreed to and then will send them via email so that you can browse them at your leisure..  I will not have them sent to you by an automated search engine that blasts out general listings.   You can log into my web site http://www.cjelinek.com anytime you wish and view properties, make requests, or tell me if you would like to schedule an appointment.  I will disclose all known facts about the property that are likely to affect your decision.

Making the Offer

When we find the home that meets your criteria, I will assist you in writing an offer and act as a liaison between you and the seller. I will present the offer to the seller's agent and negotiate the best deal for you.

When You Are Under Contract

After your offer to purchase your new home has been accepted by the seller, several things need to happen before you own the house. There are property, termite and other inspections, the loan approval process, coordination with the title company, and your final walk-through. I will be there to assist you every step of thye way.

The Closing

The final step to owning your new home is the closing. This is when you sign the loan, title and other legal documents that make the home yours. This is when your keys are turned over to you for your new home. This is when you look back and say, "It was all worth while; I'm happy Craig has been here to help us every step of the way."
