3. There is more to finding the perfect property
than just searching the Internet
Whether you are looking for a home or condo, we must first
identify your needs.
How many bedrooms and baths do you need?
What areas of Sarasota are you interested in?
Do you want to be by the beach, bay, gated community or
golf course?
Are you looking to be near a certain school?
Do you know about the differences in buying
from a traditional homeowner, foreclosure (REO)
or short sale property?

4. TRADITIONAL HOME SALE
The homeowner is selling their
home.
Usually in this case the
homeowner has been maintaining
their home and also preparing it
for sale.
They have to sign a disclosure
allowing the prospective buyer to
know the condition of the home
(to the best of the seller's
knowledge).

5. REO – Foreclosure Property
These are properties that the
Bank Now Owns!
The bank is the Seller and
Decision Maker.
These homes are usually sold
“as is” since the bank has no
prior knowledge of the
maintenance or condition of
the property.

6. SHORT SALE PROPERTY
These properties are in the
beginning stages of the process.
The Bank may or may not have
already started foreclosure
procedures but the properties will
require BOTH Owner Approval &
Bank Approval of the Sale Price.
These properties will require the
most negotiation and patience
Short Sales REQUIRE 3rd PARTY
APPROVAL!

7. How do I submit an offer
on a home or condo?
After viewing several properties in your price range and deciding on a
property to purchase, you then start the buying process.
What I do is give you (the buyer) a list of comparable homes that
have recently sold or are pending sales. Many times actual selling
prices are not available for pending sales but you should know which
homes are in the process of selling. This gives you an idea of market
value and activity.
After getting all the necessary information on the property, it is the
buyer's decision on the price of the offer.
I will get the offer presented and the seller has the opportunity to
either agree to the sale price or to counter the offer.
This may go back and forth several times and if both parties come to
an agreement a contract is signed.

8. How do I finance the property that
I want to purchase?
Before purchasing a home, you need to meet with your
mortgage representative and discuss the financing for a
possible purchase.
Bank Owned - Foreclosure (REO) properties require proof of
funds or a mortgage commitment to submit with a contract.
Traditional financing for a single family home is 20% down
but there are many other programs available,
especially for owner occupied homes.
For more information on this,
contact your mortgage lender.

9. HOME INSPECTION
In all cases, homes have the right to be inspected and the buyer can then
make a determination if they want to continue with the sale. If this is not in
the contract - it is in the buyers best interest to have it inserted as a
condition of sale.
Do I need a home inspection before
buying a home or condo?
It is in the buyers interest to get both a home and pest
inspection before buying a property.
Even if the home is sold “as is” you the buyer, should be
aware of the condition of the property.
This will help you make a better decision.

11. Where you are in the buying process?
If you see the right home today, are you
ready to purchase?
How soon are you planning to buy?
How soon would you like to move in?
Do you need your new home in 3, 6 or 9
months?
Will you be selling another property before
purchasing the new one?
How much do you want to invest as your
down payment?

pre-approved, I will give you several
mortgage professionals to choose from.
