We will conduct a buyer counseling session to discuss your needs and goals, and to plan the search for your property.

We will review the agency alternatives and representations that are available to you - Seller Agency, Buyer Agency and Disclosed Dual Agency. The representation of your interests, and the role of your agent in the different agency relationships, will be thoroughly explained to you for your consideration.

Buyer Representation Agreement
We will present and explain to you the Buyer Representation Agreement and the special services and benefits it offers to you.

Financing Pre-approval & Estimate of Funds Required
We will assist you through the pre-approval process for financing through 1862 Mortgage, identify your price range and increase your negotiating strength when you write an offer. 1862 Mortgage will also provide you with an estimate of closing costs and down payment required. Through the process you have a choice in lenders, but our affiliation with 1862 Mortgage will create a smooth process in your home buying experience. If you are unable to be pre-approved by 1862 Mortgage or any other lender, we will work with you to attempt to find an institution that will be able to serve your needs. RuhlHomes.com/1862Mortgage
