The first step in finding the right house is to select the right agent. The purchase of a home is a big investment with many financial and legal ramifications, and just like lawyers and doctors, the best agents tend to specialize in certain types of sales, markets, or other special areas of expertise. REALTOR®, Cathy Carter specializes in Chandler real estate and along with being an award-winning Chandler REALTOR®, she is also a relocation expert and luxury home specialist.
It is not always in the client’s best interest to wait until they have found a house to select an agent. You want an experienced and highly qualified Chandler REALTOR® that can identify the right neighborhoods, coordinate financing, filter out properties that are not a match to your specified criteria in a home, and identify off-market properties due to privacy concerns or homes that have not come on the market yet. Cathy Carter, REALTOR has access to MLS listings as soon as they hit the market, and sometimes even before.
Over the last two decades, Cathy has built solid working relationships with a network of real estate professionals and builders in the region. This ensures that you have access to the most recent listings, which increases your chances of finding the right home in the right neighborhood and getting an offer accepted. Once you have decided on a home, Cathy will put her exemplary negotiation skills to work for you. Cathy will provide you with a comparable market analysis (CMA), showing the selling price of recent comparable properties and what the market value is for the current property.
Once there is a contractual agreement in place, the escrow period begins. Escrow is the process by which the interests of all parties in a real estate transaction are protected, making sure all conditions of the sale are properly met before money changes hands. The escrow period can range from a few days to several months, depending on the terms of the purchase agreement. On average, an escrow closes within 45 days.
If your purchase contract has contingencies, your Chandler REALTOR® will find inspectors to inspect the home during the contingency period. During this period, you can determine whether you want to proceed with the purchase. If you decide to back out of the contract for a reason related to a contingency during the contingency period, you are entitled to a full return of your “good faith deposit.” Usually, an agreement can still be reached if the seller accepts your requests.
On the day of closing, the escrow company transfers your funds to the seller and records the deed in your name with the county. During the closing meeting, the seller signs certain documents transferring property ownership. You receive and sign documents related to the mortgage agreement and ownership of the property and pay any closing costs and escrow payments. Once you are on record with the county, your Chandler REALTOR ® will provide you with the keys to your new home. Cathy Carter, REALTOR ® is here to serve you for all of your housing questions or issues during the escrow period and after you close.
