The first step is scheduling a consultation with one of our buyer specialists. During this meeting, we'll discuss your goals, preferences, budget, and timeline. We'll also explain our process, answer your questions, and begin developing a customized property search strategy tailored to your needs.

We have an extensive network of industry contacts and access to off-market listings through our relationships with other top brokers, developers, and property owners. Many premium properties never reach the public market, and our connections give our clients exclusive access to these opportunities. We also proactively identify potential properties that may not be actively listed but could be available to the right buyer.

As a buyer, you typically don't pay commission fees to your real estate agent (these are usually paid by the seller). However, there are other costs to consider including: mortgage-related fees (if applicable), appraisal fees, inspection costs, title insurance, attorney fees, and closing costs which typically range from 2-5% of the purchase price. During our consultation, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of all expected costs based on your specific situation and location.

We conduct a comprehensive comparative market analysis that considers recent sales of similar properties in your area, current market conditions, unique features of your property, and buyer demand. We also factor in our experience with similar properties and current market trends. Our goal is to recommend a pricing strategy that maximizes your return while ensuring your property attracts serious buyers in a reasonable timeframe.
