BUYING YOUR HOME
WITH JOHN BERTSCH
Guess what? I’m not here to sell you a home. I’m here to listen and help you articulate and clarify your thoughts so you get the best possible home.
Buying, especially if you’re taking on a mortgage, can be a daunting, nerve-wracking process. I’ve found that buyers often don’t realize just how much work I’ll do for them. I like to say that you’re the quarterback and I’m your offensive line – blocking, tackling and pushing through obstacles – so you can get to the endzone.
I’ve also found that buyers have four main concerns. Do you have them also?
● Fear of losing out on a home – That they didn’t move fast enough, or make the right offer;
● Fear of missing out on a home – Being unaware that a particular home was available to purchase.
● Paying too much;
● Buying a home with something wrong with it.
Now, you might be asking yourself whether I have a system that solves those concerns, giving you the confidence to make the right decision. Of course I do! The secret is articulating those things that are most important to you, and letting that criteria guide your decision-making, rather than allowing homes for sale at the moment to dictate your direction. Give me an hour of your time. I will listen, ask questions, and – I hope – you’ll ask questions of me. By the end I promise you will have the confidence to act. Once you’re really clear on what you want and need in a home, we will
● Monitor the best the market has to offer with a customized market watch
● Get out there ASAP when you find something you like
● Commit to buying and putting your best foot forward
● Then disengage - emotionally, physically, spiritually from the outcome and let the rest take care of itself.
In this market you optimize the variables that are in your control and you leave the rest to the powers that be.
Buyer's Bill of Rights
I promise you this:
● I pledge my complete loyalty, diligence and honesty. I am obligated to act in your best interest - not mine, not anyone else's.
● Clear, prompt, and straightforward communication, even if it causes an uncomfortable conversation.
● I match your speed. I’m not going to rush you or try to sell you anything.
I don’t disappear after you’ve purchased your home. I will keep you up to date with information on market trends and your home’s value. And I am your resource for anything related to your home. I have numerous contacts with all types of tradespeople and other real estate adjacent professionals.
I’ve even been known to paint and help buyers move in!
So let’s spend some time getting to know each other. I’ll walk you through every step of my process. Then the fun begins!
