Buy a Home with Sojourn Real Estate
The Asheville real estate market is incredibly tough on homebuyers. Inventory is at an all-time low, but demand continues to grow as more people are working remotely and realizing what a great quality of life Asheville has to offer. It is possible to land your dream home or lot, but it takes a bit of creative thinking and determination.
I'm here to help you navigate the process with patience, a cool head, and a knack for problem solving when challenges seem unsurmountable.
buyer services
Custom Property Search & Alerts
We'll work together to set up a custom property search based on your criteria, and you can check my website at any time or receive alerts when new properties hit the market.
Live/Video Property Tours
Whether you're buying a property sight-unseen or simply navigating the contract process from afar, I'll be at the ready to provide virtual tours and video when questions arise.
Strategic Offer Recommendations
Using comparable property data and personal experience, I'll use my "three options approach" to recommend an offer and terms that I believe will meet your goals and get your offer accepted.
Lender Coordination
Whether you are seeking an FHA, conventional, VA or other type of loan, I'll communicate frequently with your lender to be sure everything from your pre-approval letter to final funding are smooth and timely.
Inspections Scheduling
From your general home inspection to septic/sewer, radon, wood-destroying insects and beyond, I'll schedule, coordinate, and (usually) attend all your inspections. Then, we'll discuss them together to determine next steps.
Repair Negotiations & Management
Should you decide to ask the seller of the home you're purchasing to complete repairs, I'll help you get estimates, negotiate the completion of the repairs, and check on the progress of the work before closing.
Attorney/Closing Coordination
From sending your fully-executed purchase contract to the closing attorney to connecting them to your lender to checking closing statements and scheduling mobile notaries, I'll be there to coordinate your transaction every step of the way.
Final Touches
There are a lot of loose ends to tie up before taking possession of your home. I'll help you get your utilities and internet connected, attend your final walk-through, and anything else that comes up (and something inevitably does!) before you get the keys to your new home.
