Buying

 

Jennifer earned the coveted Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) designation through the National Association of Realtors (NAR) in 2004. The Real Estate Buyers Agent Council was founded in 1988 to promote superior buyer representation services. REBAC’s membership is 40,000 strong and is the world’s largest organization of real estate professionals concentrating on buyer representation. Only those Realtors who meet strict course, professional experiential and sales volume requirements are awarded the Accredited Buyers Representative designation.

There are currently only 94 Accredited Buyer Representatives in the City of Boston.

Jennifer appreciates that there is a significant amount of information buyers should acquire prior to commencing the process of buying a home and throughout the sales transaction. She disseminates the necessary qualitative information and quantitative data to thoroughly educate her buyer clients on the home buying process, present market conditions and historical market trends, the importance of a strong condominium association and neighborhood statistics. You are not only buying a new place to live but investing in your future. The following is a portion of what Jennifer can offer as a buyer’s agent at no cost (in Massachusetts, commissions are paid for by the seller):

Refer you to a qualified mortgage broker and experienced real estate attorney.
Explain each component of the process from pre-approval through close.
Perform all fiduciary duties associated with the client relationship.
Educate on macro economic data including interest rate movement.
Educate on micro economic issues including inventory levels, listings histories and neighborhood trends.
Locate property conducive to your needs and desires based on initial consultation.
Perform a background check on each respective association with which you will potentially be associated to confirm a sound going concern.
Negotiate offers to ensure you are paying a good price based on present market trends.
Assist with the due diligence period between Offer to Purchase and Purchase and Sale to ensure home inspection is performed, condominium documents are reviewed by attorney and mortgage application is completed and all other important deadlines are met.
Prepare you for close!

  "As a first time homebuyer, I was overwhelmed with the prospect of finding the perfect property. Jennifer's unwavering commitment to my search helped me define my priorities, focus my efforts and ultimately find the perfect home. Her tireless dedication and patience made all the difference."
- Chris Mossa, Brookline
