Please Take a Moment to Read the Section Below - This is MOST important!
As a FULLY INFORMED Buyer you will know everything we can possibly know about a prospective purchase. When I purchase a home or lot with you, it's like buying it for myself or a Family member. I employ the best technology available from many resources to reduce the risks involved with any purchase.
I employ a detailed "Process Flow" method to ensure there are no hiccups along the way nor at closing (almost 100 specific elements to check). I send process status emails to Attorneys, Lenders, Insurers. and any others included in the closing process in 15 / 10 / and 5 day prior to closing intervals. This reduces the risk of not closing on time. Ask me about my smooth and on-time closing record - it is exceptional!
Flood Hazard Zones - know where they are when you work with me! Let's face it, in our lovely coastal region, flood hazard zones are a common occurrence. For me, it's not enough to know if you are in or are not in a FHZ - but what's the proximity of the closest one? YOU need to be FULLY INFORMED so reasonable risk-assessments may be made. Employing multiple resources to evaluate FHZ presence - and the type of zone - is a critical step in the process.
I physically walk the "four-corners" of a property, with machete in hand if necessary, before taking a run at what we think may be "the right one". I clearly remember hacking my way through heavy underbrush for a client-path. They were considering the purchase of a Brunswick River, water-front lot, but could not get to the back boundary to check the shore-line nor view - we got there; a little hot and grubby - and made a successful purchase happen! We added a certified new Survey to really minimize risk - and the contract was contingent on the Survey's approval by my Client.
Understanding Law-enforcement "safety-stats" in a given area, and potential safety risks, are important factors for all of my Clients - especially Singles and Families with children.
A home inspection by a highly-trusted, experienced, skilled, and NC Licensed Home Inspector (I recommend several and you can surely use your own) is a crucial risk-reduction step, Visit http://www.nclhia.com/ for more information. Engaging a Home Warranty company for the first 12 months of ownership is a great risk-reducer too.
Title Insurance is a key element of any purchase - required by all Lenders - highly recommended for cash purchases. Stay safe for years to come! Check out the resources and definitions at Beacon Title Insurance http://www.beacon-titleagency.com/title-insurance-overview.htm a great link to tuck away for the future.
Ask me to email an Initial Meeting Agenda - A GREAT no-obligation way to get started.
