Contact a lender and get prequalified or preapproved. Send us a copy of your current mortgage pre-approval letter (or proof of funds for a cash offer). If you need suggestions for lenders, give us a call.
Select a preferred area and 1-3 active listings in that area. Drive by the home(s) first to be sure you like the location, neighborhood, traffic level, etc. When you are ready to visit your finalists and to submit a reasonable offer (not a lowball bid) within 24 hours after the showing, give me a call.
If you are interested in new homes, please be sure to alert the sales representatives in any model you visit that you are working with Southern Homes (dba for Rebate Texas LLC) as your buyer’s broker.
When you're ready to make a viable offer, we'll prepare a draft offer and buyer-broker agreement for your review. We’ll get these signed electronically and submit your offer to the listing agent. We'll work closely with you to negotiate the final price and terms, and help you address any concerns that may arise out of the inspection.
We'll help you select an inspector, get inspections approved, and provide guidance on preparing a repair request list. We'll submit the list to the seller's agent and negotiate an amendment for repairs or a financial concession in lieu of repairs.
A few days before closing, you'll get a statement showing your rebate credit and the net amount to bring to closing. At closing, you’ll get the keys to your new home, and you’ll be thousands of dollars wealthier than if you had used a regular buyer’s broker who keeps the entire 3% (or a regular listing broker who keeps the entire 6%).
