Purchasing Your Texas Retreat
Allow them to guide you through their meticulous process, designed to match your distinct preferences and fulfill your every aspiration.
We’ll begin by discussing your priorities and preferences for your luxury home. This helps us understand your requirements in terms of location, size, style, amenities, and any unique features you desire. Setting a realistic budget is crucial to align your expectations with the available options.
We will schedule private property tours for the homes that align with your preferences. Our goal is to make your property tours exclusive and comfortable, in line with the luxury market’s standards.
Rely on us to conduct a thorough market analysis to provide you with insights into pricing trends and property values in your desired area. This analysis will empower you to make an informed decision.
We will skillfully negotiate on your behalf, taking into account various factors including the purchase price, terms, contingencies, and other intricacies specific to luxury property transactions.
Count on us to guide you through the due diligence process. This involves inspections, title searches, and verifying property-specific details to ensure you’re fully aware of the property’s condition and any potential concerns.
We will assist in drafting a comprehensive purchase contract that outlines the terms of the agreement. Once both parties agree, we’ll guide you through the process of depositing earnest money into an escrow account, temporarily removing the property from the market.
If you’re securing financing, we’ll collaborate with your chosen lender to ensure a smooth mortgage process. This may also involve coordinating with the appraiser to determine the property’s value.
As the closing date approaches, we’ll liaise with various parties involved, such as the seller’s agent, title company, and possibly an attorney, to ensure all necessary paperwork is in order.
We’ll accompany you on the final walkthrough to verify the property’s condition and ensure any negotiated repairs have been completed to your satisfaction.
At the closing, we’ll guide you through the process of signing all necessary documents, including the deed and any loan-related paperwork. We’ll also assist in settling remaining financial obligations.
Ownership Transfer: After the closing, the property ownership will be officially transferred to you. We’ll hand over the keys and necessary documents, marking the culmination of the purchase process.
We want to be the first to congratulate you on the purchase of Your Texas Retreat!
Selling Your Home
Allow them to guide you through their meticulous process, designed to match your distinct preferences and fulfill your every aspiration.
Meet one, or both, of our experts for a personalized experience beginning with a preview of the property followed by an in-depth conversation to understand your goals. From there they collaborate with you about any recommended improvements, set expectations about the timeline, discuss the current market, answer any questions you may have then complete initial paperwork.
Our expert Realtors prepare a formal Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) providing you with a pricing report complete with careful adjustments tailored to your home based on recently sold houses in the area, active properties that buyers are currently shopping and the dynamic market shifts topped off with expert strategies and recommendations.
As you declutter and begin emotionally detaching from the property, our experts are at work scheduling trusted contractors to perform repairs, replacements or upgrades as agreed upon.
Once the work is complete, they then bring in their preferred stagers and photographers to begin the mastermind marketing and expose your house to the largest group of qualified buyers to maximize your profits! This includes, but is not limited to, presenting the facts and features on all major home websites, social media, email blasts, print marketing, personal local and international networks and intentional word-of-mouth.
The, “Coming Soon,” phase is optional, but is essentially the move trailer to your premier! It allows both Realtors and the public to view the photos, virtual tours and information online, while restricting their ability to view the home in person. It not only helps build anticipation, but it also provides an additional window to continue completing the perfection of the home (refinishing hardwoods, organizing closets, last minute repairs, etc) while alerting prospective buyers of their opportunity.
Congratulations, the big day has arrived! Realtors begin showing the property to buyers and our experts can also hold an Open House for any unrepresented buyers, or neighbors, to tour! If you have been thinking of getting away for an extended weekend, this is a great time!
