The search is on!

The search for a home is exciting and changeling at the same time. Many factors help and hinder the search process. Knowing what you want as a client is important but communicating your needs to your agent is also important.

In the market today there are many factors that decide how easy it is to purchase a home. There are many types of homes and many types of situations that can determine if you can purchase the home. We all are aware that the market is over stocked with homes for sale, or so it seems. Bank owned or traditional sale? Condo, town home or single family detached? And of course there is the short sale.

Did you know that some lender owned properties can only be purchased by owner occupied clients? Did you know that some homes in multi-family communities have to meet owner occupied vs. rental ratios to obtain financing? Did you know that some bank owned properties the bank requires you to pre-qualify with their bank prior to making an offer? These are only a few of the stipulations that are placed on properties today.

And of course the more personal aspects of home searching. What fits the client needs? Like any relationship you need a spark. You will have a relationship with your home, and we want it to be a good productive loving relationship. Finding the right neighborhood, size, and amenities. How many bedrooms, 1 or 2 story, pool? The communication between you and your agent in this process is very important.

Clients lay out their expectations to their agent, but sometimes the expectations do not meet the reality of the market. When your agent does the search on what you ideally want it sometimes does not produce the desired results. We would all like to live in Beverly Hills next to Brad Pit and Angie, 4 to 5 bedroom with a view and pool for around 100K! But that is not reality. But you can get a 4 bedroom home with a pool for 100k in selected areas. That being said, the same home in a different area could be 200K, 400K or in the case of Beverly Hills millions.

The factors stated above are the reasons you work with an experienced agent. As a client you cannot be expected to know all the market conditions and stipulations. And working with a company like Arizona 360 Realty where not only do you get an agent that is focused on your needs, you have access to a real estate broker! Many larger firms you may be lucky to talk to your own agent, instead their assistant is your point of contact. You should never have to “press 0 to talk to an operator” when dealing with your personal residence. Direct lines of communication, that is what we offer our clients.
