Home buying is becoming more and more complex. Contracts are getting longer and escrows, it seems, are getting shorter and shorter. Planning and preparation, including loan pre-qualification and comparative sale information are crucial to the process. Below is the plan that I implement for my clients.>>

As a member of the Real Estate Buyer's Council, Sarah is proud to let you know that the Real Estate Buyer's Council is the country's oldest and largest association of real estate practitioners representing consumers in real estate transactions. And some of the nations's most skilled buyer's agents hold the Council's prestigious "Accredited Buyer Representative" (ABR) designation. This designation requires extensive class room training, a formidable written examination and substantial experience in buyer representation. An ACCREDITED BUYER REPRESENTATIVE is fully committed to the real estate buyer. It is not surprising that across the country, advocacy groups and licensing laws now encourage buyer representation. If you're a real estate buyer, you now have a friend in real estate to help you locate the best address.
