- Off-market property lists: as the last two years taught us, we know that your ideal property may not be in listed in the MLS. therefore, we don't use the mls as our exhaustive list of homes for sale. instead we will look for exclusive off-market properties within our firm, through expired listings & neighborhood searches to be sure you've been presented all options.
- Dedicated inside sales agent: we use a dedicated inside sales agent to ensure all off-market properties or prospective properties are fully vetted. if you find a neighborhood you like, but no homes are available for sale, your dedicated inside sales agent will make calls into the neighborhood to try to force opportunities for our buyers.

- Exclusive access to vendor list: Even before making an offer, it may be helpful to get information/quotes from contractors and we make our list of vendors available to you, while also assisting in coordinating any needed quotes to help you move forward confidently.
- Property assessments: our agents are not nc licensed home inspectors, we are unable to definitively speak to the condition of a property. our agents are trained to identify ages of major systems, and to provide you with a thorough walk-through of any property to point out and discuss potential risk factors that an inspector would confirm during the due diligence period while helping to form a list of questions for property owners to answer prior to writing a contract.
Purchasing the Home
- Submission of contracts: Without the help of an agent we would refer any unrepresented buyer to an attorney to draft an offer to purchase, which could cost as much as $500-$800. We provide immense cost savings by just being able to construct your contracts. Using our market knowledge and experience we can help explain not only purchase price, but the other countless terms that go into making an offer on a home.
- Pre-contract negotiations: our goal is always to get our buyers the best deal for them. for some buyers that means a lower price, for others it may be a lower deposit, or seller paid closing costs. going back to our original meeting, understanding your goals, we will make sure that your interests are represented on the contract so you are able to purchase comfortably and with confidence.
- Deposit drop-off coordination: Once under contract, as we begin the process of moving toward closing, we will initially need to disburse due diligence funds, earnest money or builder deposits. We coordinate all of these for you and share receipts with all parties as funds are distributed.
- Suggested inspection lists & scheduling: You are free to use any vendor you prefer on inspections, or use our preferred home inspector. either way, we will coordinate all appointments on your behalf and send calendar invitations to ensure everyone is able to attend if allowed. different properties and loan types may require different inspections. we will coordinate with our clients to ensure all required inspections are met and any suggested inspections are noted. we encourage attendance from our clients at all inspections on site.
- Appraisal analysis & rebuttals: While we are not licensed appraisers, we typically see enough appraisals to be able to aptly explain, analyze and potentially dispute any errors that could be present. Upon the return of your appraisal, our agents will skillfully review it and be able to answer any questions you may have. In the event that there is an appraisal that comes in below value, if it helps our client we are always happy to use our skills to provide a rebuttal for a review of value. we have a strong track record of winning these adjustments.
- Repair/replacement quotes: when your home inspection returns with items that need to be quoted for repair/replacement you will have access to our preferred contractor list and we will coordinate with you to ensure all quotes are received and processed in a timely fashion.
- Pre-Due Diligence Strategy Sessions: depending on your contract terms and timelines it may be best to sit down in person and review your appraisal, inspection report, and repair quotes to draft any requested changes to the contract that will be submitted to the seller on your behalf. Our agents are skilled negotiators that can help you determine what items can strengthen or weaken your position and ensure that your request is effective and persuasive. this is where our experience works for you!
