Buyers Checklist
Get your financing in place. See a Mortgage Broker to find out what you qualify for.
Familiarize yourself with the different subdivisions and see if they are close to services that are important to you. Are they close to the golf course, schools, grocery store, health care, etc?
Search homes on this site and register to receive new homes as they come on the market.
Schedule a time to meet with me to go over the listed properties available as well as homes coming on the market.
Watch my regular blog for updates in local market changes. View the VIREB Market update video above for more info as well.
Choose the professionals that will assist you in the buying process: home inspector, insurance, septic inspector, notary, or lawyer.
Be ready to act and put in an offer, as properties are moving quickly and you do not want to lose that great deal when it hits the market.
A few TESTIMONIALS from Buyers:
Dear Melanie just a few words from two very satisfied clients. We want you to know how much we appreciate the amount of time you spent showing us numerous properties until the right one came along. You were always on time and answered all of our questions. At all times your professional manner and pleasant demeanor made it an enjoyable experience. We will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who may need a realtor. ~ Alan
Melanie was more than just a realtor in helping us purchase our new home! She was not only knowledgeable, helpful and got the job done quick and easy but she went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied at all times during the process! Melanie's convivial attitude is so pleasant to be around and we will definitely use her when purchasing future properties. Highly recommended!! ~JR
Melanie was absolutely amazing during the whole process from setting up many viewings, helping with documents, finding as much information as she could and finding contractors and engineers for me. She went approve and beyond to get me into my new home and I couldn’t have done it without her. She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable and made getting me into my new home so much easier. We had a short time line to get everything done during the Christmas holidays and she made everything possible and is always there to answer any questions you have. So happy to have had her as my Realtor. ~ KC
