Home Buying.

The home buying process has gotten more difficult as the housing market twists and turns in different directions. With
housing values fluctuating, the days of buy and watch it go up have vanished.  Whether you are an experienced buyer
or making a first time purchase,  you must be cautious to make sure it's a sound investment, a good deal.  The Bakers
will help you evaluate the home you are considering and give you advice of how it is priced in today's market.

The housing market still hasn't changed in one aspect, it's still the good, the bad and the ugly.  Now more than ever it's
all about how they are priced. The good are fine as long as you get them at the right price. The ugly... we'll they can be made pretty
if the price is right.  The bad, those are the ones we'll help you avoid... homes with mold, drainage, issues, flood plains and the like.
If it's a Fannie Mae, Short sale, pre foreclosure or REO home, we know the ropes on those, and can tell you what to expect upfront.
We know the market, what homes are "hot" and which are not and we know just what to do in a multiple offer situation.
Surprisingly there are many multiple offers in this market.

 The Bakers use area market surveys, give you market trends and help you assess recent comparable sales when you purchase. 
The market is differentiated by location and price category. What may be a downward movement in one price category can be an
upward trend in another.  We'll educate you to terms and methods the appraisers use to evaluate a home, absorption rate, condition location
and just what an appraiser will be studying.
 

Our experienced team of professionals include attorneys, lenders and home inspectors, all here to help you through the entire process from contract to closing. Inspections, walk thrus, attorney reviews, lender issues, and the closing table.  We'll be there every step of the way.

Don't delay call the Bakers today. 847-927-2728.

And remember, our services are free when you enlist us as buyer's brokers. Buyer agency forms are available on our Buyers Broker page.
