When it comes to buying & selling real estate... You want a professional team who will work hard to achieve your objectives, so you don't have to. While technology has made it easier for the consumer to make more educated decisions about the real estate process, it cannot replace the value of your professional real estate consultant. It cannot consult, counsel, advise, have knowledge of local laws & market conditions, make judgements, "own" the result, or most importantly, understand your individual goals and needs and care about you as a client. To obtain an accurate interpretation of any information you receive online, please contact us. We are Proactive Realtors...We work hard to help you during the decision making process by keeping you informed. We will help manage your RISKS. We look under rocks!

Buyers (First-Time) > Locate Your Lifestyle       If you are looking for a new home, it is important to communicate with your Realtor about any special aspects of your lifestyle that will influence your choice. This information will help the agent to locate the perfect home for you and your family.       Are you a gourmet cook who loves giving lots of parties? Do you want to accommodate certain hobbies, such as painting, photography, or woodworking? Will your decision be influenced by the availability of a community gym or tennis courts? Does your son need space to rehearse with his hard rock band? Do you need a home office? Are you planning to enlarge your family? Is there someone in your household who cannot climb stairs? Knowing the significant factors that will influence your housing decision will help us narrow the selection of homes on the market in Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR.       See Complete Article - Writing an Offer > See Complete Article Library >

	BuyerTip #12 : Make yourself available
	Be available! Your agent may see a great deal come up on the office computer, but if he or she can't get hold of you quickly, it may have another offer before you can even get there to see it! Leave all pertinent phone numbers and check email and phone messages often!
