Who You Choose To Represent You Really Does Matter
GAIN A PARTNER IN PURCHASING WISELY
Your home is a private habitat in which your life plays out. At Fixed Rate, we believe something so vital to your identity and comfort should be sold quite differently than toothpaste or cell service. We believe you want a flat fee real estate buyer’s agent to help you in this process –and a compassionate one at that. You want an ally who will help you buy the best home for YOU.
We’ll also deliver a team of talented players in critical roles. Choose us, and you’ll gain access to lending experts who can offer you the most favorable financing for your specific needs. Together, we are real estate professionals who partner with you to make a wise and life-enhancing purchase.
IDENTIFYING YOUR NEEDS
Every successful purchase begins with defining what you want in a home and also what you need in a home.
Combining both definitions leads to the best possible outcome with our homebuyer assistance program. No matter your price range, certain things count more than others. Some features rank higher on your priority list –and it’s the job of our flat fee real estate buyer’s agent to help you make the most accurate list.
Total square footage, numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms, multi-story or sprawling ranch? Those are standard questions to answer. But what about lifestyle factors like commuting distance, school district, recreational amenities, the nearest grocery store, and other quality of life issues? We’ll support you in determining what matters most – to you.
PREMIUM PRICING ON INTEREST RATES & LEVERAGE YOUR MONEY
We’ll go beyond the standard mantra. Pre-approval means nothing without the right financing. Our flat fee real estate buyer agent will connect you with a reputable lender to secure pre-approval for the best loan for you –financing that aligns with your circumstance.
Pre-approved financing keeps you on the straight-and-narrow in terms of looking for homes in the right price range (there’s nothing worse than falling in love with a home beyond your reach). Loan pre-approval boosts your credibility with sellers. Every agent with a homebuyer assistance program will tell you that.
Planning to be in the house for only three years? A five-year adjustable-rate loan may save you thousands in monthly payments. Need to minimize cash out of pocket? Lender-paid closing costs may be just the ticket. Whatever your goals, we’ll connect you with the right flat fee real estate buyer’s agent and mortgage professional to help you explore every option.
SEARCH FOR HOMES EFFICIENTLY
The data we are able to share gives you virtual “keys” to the doors of desirable properties. Take a look from the comfort of your kitchen table. With our homebuyer assistance program, we will expand your horizons and contribute added insight, expertise, and power to your search.
Already, you probably have a few ideas about homes you can’t wait to see. You’ve driven around to spot For Sale signs and you’ve checked out online listings in desirable neighborhoods. Perfect!
Most buyers do a bit of leg work before ever contacting a flat fee real estate buyer’s agent, and we welcome that collaborative process. Using the best tools available to agents/brokers (powered by state-of-the-art technology), we will not only uncover properties in neighborhoods you’ve earmarked but will also point you to hidden gems you may not even know exist
MAKE THE MOST OF DUE DILIGENCE & KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
Our flat fee real estate buyer’s agents work with dedicated in-house transaction managers when appropriate, helping you understand and benefit from standard real estate contract contingencies to ensure a successful closing
This means you’ll have adequate time to “kick the tires” on the home to make sure nothing’s amiss beneath fresh paint or new landscaping. These buyer-friendly safety valves related to inspection and appraisal allow you to walk away without penalty should serious flaws come to light.
Typical contract contingencies also allow time to review property title and HOA documents (where applicable), obtain insurance, and secure firm financing. With our homebuyer assistance program, we will also show you how to protect yourself when you must sell your current home at the same time you purchase a new one.
