Step 4: Find the Home of Your Dreams

At this point, you’re probably excited and full of optimism and soon we'll be doing showings. Now comes the most important step. Finding the right home. You should be set up on an MLS search already and getting those MLS results regularly.

When the MLS email comes in we need you to:

1. Check the MLS email daily and review all of the properties we sent you that day. Mark properties you want to see as a favorite. If you have any questions about a particular property, write those questions in the Comments field for that property and make your notes on those properties here as well. 

2. If there’s something you love and want to see, shoot me a quick text and let me know your availability and what you want to see. That way we can set up the showing.  Remember, some properties require 24 to 48 hours' notice.  Also, properties are usually available to be seen Mon – Fri from 9 am – 7:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10 am – 6:00 pm. Sometimes sellers will allow us to view a property outside of those hours, but it’s up to the individual seller. Also, during the spring and summer, great properties sell in 2-4 days so it’s important that you review the MLS email daily so we can jump on a great property as soon as you see it.

3. Once we know when you’re available, we’ll set up the showings and email you where we are meeting and when.

4. Remember to wear comfortable shoes (slip-on if possible) for showings as we’ll sometimes need to take them on and off at properties.

5. We’ll email you the MLS listing sheets ahead of time so you can look at them on your phone during the showing so no need for you to bring anything other than snacks or drinks if you think you might get hungry.

While you’re looking at the MLS feeds each day we’ll also be networking our contacts to find you homes before they go on the market.

At this point, there should be no need for you to continue searches on other sites such as Zillow, Trulia, etc. as all of those properties should be showing up in your MLS feed. If one isn’t for some reason let us know so we can tweak the search parameters of your MLS feed.
