Lowest Commission Fees For the Best Real Estate Services, including After Closing Services!

Do you need recommendations to hire contracts for a floor job? Are you looking for painters to do exterior painting? Perhaps you want to hire a professional cleaner before your move in?

I've Done My Own Research and Open House Tours, and I Just Need to Submit an Offer!
If you've done all of your house searching, neighborhood researches, open house visits, and you are ready to make an offer, Carmen can handle the rest of the work and rebate up to 75% of the buyer's commission feeds (or 2% of the transaction value). This is the best value package that most realtors do not offer, and Carmen will continue to help you with her after-closing services as well. Carmen is committed to build a long-lasting relationship with her clients by assisting them to achieve their life goals and helping them to solve their problems.
How Do I Prepare to Become a Home Buyer?
First of all, you'll need to calculate your affordability range based on your recurring income and costs. While some clients may make cash offers, in most cases, you'll need to get a pre-approval from a lender or bank. This may mean that you'll need to clean up your credit scores well in advanced in order to get the best interest rates. Talk to Carmen if you have concerns, and she can also connect you with mortgage specialists to evaluate your financial situations. Also, it's very important to know what you want--good school districts, urban lifestyles, proximity to work or amenities, lake views and mountain views--so Carmen and help narrow down your search.
