Get pre-approved prior to making an offer.

Include a complimentary note to seller when making an offer. Sellers will negotiate for the benefit of buyer, if they like the buyer.

Ask your agent for a market analysis on the property you want to buy.

Choose a top agent - an ABR, CRS, GRI

Know the difference between your wants and needs.

Have your agents search other sources beyond the MLS.

Have a home inspection prior to close.

Have as little contingencies as possible in making an offer.

Work with an agent that has a quick return call guarantee - when negotiating, time is money.

Work with an agent that has a transaction checklist to be sure that ALL details are tended to and completed for a positive and closed transaction.
