At MTM Realty, we can help you to
become a “Smart Buyer!”

GET PRE–APPROVED:
The best first move you can make is to become pre–approved for a mortgage loan. Being pre–approved is better than being pre–qualified. When everything goes smoothly during the pre–approval process, you will know exactly the amount your lender will give you. In the eyes of a seller, this turns you into a “cash” buyer! That's a great advantage over pre–qualified buyers'. At MTM Realty, we will help you to obtain the financing you need!

GET THERE FIRST!
Once we know your price range and what you are looking for in your dream home, we will inform you of available listings as soon as they hit the market. This way you can beat the competition to the new listings before they are even advertised. Sometimes timing makes all the difference!

RESEARCH YOUR AREA OF INTEREST:
You can become an expert in finding values on the market by investigating local properties to get an idea of prices, where the hottest areas are, where the best bargains are and “listing to sale” price ratios. At MTM Realty, we will add our expert knowledge on what comparable properties sell for in certain neighborhoods. You will have true value in knowing what your money can buy and together we'll guarantee you the best price and terms.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH:
At MTM Realty, we will present your offer in person to the seller. This personal touch can make a difference - especially if another buyer's offer is sitting on a listing agent's desk waiting to be faxed or mailed. Sometimes we can get crucial information from the buyer about other competing offers since we are communicating in person with them.

PROVE YOU ARE SERIOUS!
You know the saying, “money talks!” There is no better way to show that your are serious about buying a property than to offer the seller a deposit with your offer. A 5% deposit will surely get the seller's attention!

DON'T PAY MORE THAN IT'S WORTH!
Sometimes when the market is fairly active, buyer's tend to overspend just to ensure they obtain their property. Sure, sometimes in an active market you may want to offer something a little more than the asking price, but don't go crazy. You will probably sell this house someday in the future and overpaying now will make your investment smaller when you go to sell. Just remember, Stay Cool!

LESS IS MORE!
A headache– free contract is worth a thousand words! You don't want a messy, overly cluttered contract with unnecessary contingencies such as excessive repairs. You can even go that extra mile by offering to be helpful. A few helpful things like ordering an inspection within 48 hours or taking care of any required local certificates can go a long way. Just remember, a “Smart Buyer” will help accommodate a seller's needs! The seller will appreciate the flexibility in you.

GET PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE:
No matter what you do, a professional can help guide you smoothly through the buying process. By choosing MTM Realty, you can feel confident that we will go “ that extra mile” for you, help you to get pre–approved, find that perfect dream home and negotiate the best deal for you no matter how hot the competition is. Our experience in the nuances of real estate can help to give you that special edge!

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, GET A HOME INSPECTION!
When buying a new home, you will want to have it inspected to ensure that there are no hidden problems. It is important that you choose a professional inspection company within the time constraints of the purchase agreement. At MTM Realty, we can help you find a qualified inspection company that will do a professional job!
