Selling the Sierras: Home

Buyer's Services

Buyers should choose one team to work with exclusively; it is preferred practice and common sense. We are Realtors® who will provide you with representation of your best interest with knowledge and patience to guide you through the sometimes stressful task of purchasing a home or land without limiting your choices!

Q. As a buyer why should I have a Realtor®? Can’t I just shop around on my own, looking at signs and ads?
A. It is just plain inefficient to try and work on your own. You will spend an awful lot of time calling on signs that are out of your price range or already in escrow. Most of the real estate magazine ads are out of date once they are published. Buyers do not have the resources that we do. We have an up to the minute database of all listed properties by all of the real estate offices in the area. We can narrow your search down to what will work for you within minutes!
*Ask us to do a custom property search for you! Let us know what your criteria is (price range, size, topography, area, acreage etc) and we can e-mail, mail or fax the results to you. We will thoroughly search all listings of all real estate offices for the results. You need to be cautious of agents that only show you their own office listings; they are not looking out for your best interest!

Q. What are the areas where you can show me properties?
A. We serve the mountain communities of Oakhurst, Bass Lake, Coarsegold, Ahwahnee, Fish Camp, Raymond, North Fork, Mariposa, Wawona and Yosemite Lakes Park. If you need assistance in another area, let us know. We have a vast number of associates in other areas that we can refer you to.

Q. What exactly will you do for me?
A. We will assist you in locating the home or land that fits your needs. When it is time to write the offer, we can explain the contract, advise you of your rights and timelines, advise you on loan qualification, assist in negotiating the contract, and guide you through the sometimes complicated escrow process. Plus we will be there with a big congratulations when escrow closes and you are a new land or home owner!

Q. Wow, you do a lot for a buyer, how much will it cost me to work with you?
A. Most often the commission to the Realtor® is paid by the seller so there is no cost to the buyer for our services. On occasion however, circumstances may dictate that a buyer share some of the commission costs.
