Benefits of utilizing Raya and Joe on your Real Estate Adventure

As your  real estate brokers we will guide you through the transaction and be at your disposal for any questions or concerns. Here are some of the things that we can do in representing your best interests:

• BUYERS:  We find you the right property. After determining what you are looking for and what you can afford, we will schedule appointments to tour homes that fit the bill.  We can also explain the ins and outs of various properties and neighborhoods to help you decide which home is right for you by explaining the pros and cons of various options.
• SELLERS:  We find you the right purchaser.  After visiting and evaluating your home and determining the market value, we will put our marketing campaign into gear and help you locate a qualified buyer at the highest price and shortest time possible.  This includes our extensive out-of-area contacts of potential real estate purchasers.
• NEGOTIATING THE OFFER:  As a buyer, we will advise you on an appropriate price to offer and write up the contract for you, then present your offer to the seller’s broker. Then we will work on your behalf and our experience in negotiating deals can save you money and help you avoid pitfalls, like a fixer-upper that’s more trouble than it’s worth.  When representing the seller, we will offer sound counsel on all offers presented, negotiate the best price and terms possible and avoid pitfalls, like selling your property for less than it’s worth.
• RECOMMENDING COMPETENT PROFESSIONALS: Whether you are buying or selling, we are able to refer you to reliable mortgage brokers, real estate attorneys, home inspectors, movers, and more. They can also help expedite each step of the process and move you through a successful transaction all the faster.
• OVERCOMING SETBACKS: If the home inspector’s report or appraisal brings new issues to light, we can advise you on how to proceed, and then act as a buffer between the parties and/or their broker. If negotiations become heated or hostile, it’s extremely helpful to have an experienced professional keeping calm and offering productive solutions.
