Buying a home in Grand Junction

The process for buying a home in Grand Junction has changed with the NAR settlement requiring buyers to sign documents regarding representation and compensation BEFORE they even view a home. However, the need for working with the right real estate professional hasn’t changed one bit. In fact, it is more important than ever! Let me explain.

If you’re considering buying a home in Grand Junction, Fruita or Palisade it’s time to do some homework. Gone are the days of simply choosing an agent because they seemed nice at the open house or because they have been sending you recipe cards for the last six months. Buying a home in Grand Junction will be one of the biggest financial transactions of your life with more money on the line than ever before. Consumers can no longer afford to partner with part-time agents or those without the skills and expertise to help navigate you through to a successful closing.

My happy buyer clients!

Whether you’re buying a new home in Grand Junction as a current resident or relocating to the Grand Valley, I can help. I’ve spent my 24-year career successfully helping people buy their first home, upsize, downsize, build new construction, purchase vacant land, and secure investment properties.

My years of experience and number of clients might seem like great qualifying factors for working with an agent when buying a home in Grand Junction, but I offer so much more than traditional agents. My goal is not to “sell you a home”, but to find you the RIGHT HOME. While we tour homes, I am constantly pointing out things that will get flagged during an inspection, along with communicating what I see inside and outside, as if I am the buyer purchasing a property.

My job is to provide you with all the information I can so you can make an informed decision before you submit an offer. I understand the buying process, it’s second nature after assisting hundreds and hundreds of buyers over the years.

The importance of hiring the right agent to work with

In assisting buyers interested in buying a home in Grand Junction, Fruita or Palisade, I take a 3-prong approach to your journey.

1) First, I make sure you understand the process at each stage of a transaction. From pre-approval with the right lender, utilizing the right loan, to what to expect from inspections, Radon testing, potential appraisal issues and other contingencies.

But where my skills really shine…

2) is in writing a purchase agreement that not only protects you, but is also attractive to the seller. I’ve worked in every type of market imaginable, and one thing I can always pride myself on… I have never been one of those agents who needed to write 10 offers for my buyer clients before we secured a home. I’m sure you’ve heard horror stories from unsuccessful buyers who literally gave up their home search out of frustration. “The market is just too difficult right now” is a common phrase heard. If that’s true, then how come the most successful agents are still finding success for their clients, even in the hottest of market conditions? It comes down to skill and experience. Two things that can only be gained through working with clients. You deserve more than to be an agent’s practice client while they try to figure out what works in this industry. I will clearly communicate what it is going to take to secure that home and only you decide which route to take with your offer.

3) My goal is to make you feel like your experience working with me was worthwhile, fun, educational, and that you understand that I have your best interest first and foremost at all times. I’ve never “sold” anyone a home, but I have successfully guided hundreds of people to make the best decision for them when buying a home.

Allow me to provide you with a home buying service nothing short of what I would do for myself.
