Of all the decisions you'll face when buying a home, there isn't one more important than choosing the person who will represent you in the purchase of your home.

The job of your Sales Associate is to listen to your needs and support you in finding the right home with the best possible terms. Your Sales Associate will explain the process of buying a home, and educate you through the entire process including explaining the documents and procedures that you will experience throughout the transaction. They will also:

• Screen homes before your inspection to make sure the property meets your needs
• Properly prepare forms, contracts and disclosures, which are required by law, and make sure that they are legally correct
• Handle any problems that arise during the transaction
• Oversee the closing process
• See that the completion of the transaction is smooth, including obtaining keys and taking possession of the property
