Buying a Home

Are you looking for your dream home, a place you can call your own? Let me assist you in finding the home that suits your needs.

I aim to reassure you, knowing that you are partnering with a dedicated Real Estate Professional who advocates for your best interests. 

Buyer's Guide 

01 Initial meeting

In our first meeting, we will establish a connection and discuss your aspirations, objectives, financial plan, and preferred timeline; this will allow us to assess our compatibility and decide if we should proceed together. I will also outline my approach to representing and supporting you throughout the process.  

Afterward, I will carefully explore your specific needs and create a personalized Wishlist for you. This detailed list will include your preferences and essential features, allowing me to effectively filter the available properties that meet your criteria. 

02 Get Pre-Approval

The last thing you want to do is fall in love with a home that's simply outside of your price range. Knowing your budget and getting pre-approved for a loan will prevent this from happening and allow you to focus on looking at homes that not only meet your criteria but more importantly, fit within your price range. Moreover, submitting an offer with this letter demonstrates to brokers that you are a committed and serious buyer. If you plan to buy in cash, it is important to provide proof of funds when submitting your offer.

03 Home search 

According to your criteria, I'll set up a customized MLS search to ensure you get notified of the new listings as soon as they hit the market. It is essential to communicate any modifications to your criteria or updates to your preferences to ensure our search remains aligned with your needs.

04 Tours

Following your online home browsing and identifying your preferred options, we will arrange appointments to tour the properties together. This active involvement will allow us to assess the houses firsthand and ultimately make an informed decision on which one truly stands out as the ideal choice.

05 Present an offer

Utilizing my expertise in the current market conditions and property valuations, we will collaboratively determine the optimal terms for the purchase agreement to secure the property while safeguarding your best interests. Afterward, I will effectively communicate and negotiate with the seller's agent on your behalf, serving as your advocate throughout the process.

06 Acceptance 

When our offer is accepted, the attorneys will review the contract. You will submit the earnest money, and I'll arrange for inspections and appraisal. You will begin the financing process once both sides are ready to move forward. This may sound overwhelming, but I'm here to make this process as effortless as possible for you.

07 Appraisal & Inspection

I will accompany you during the inspection process, providing valuable insights into the property's condition and identifying any potential repair needs. Additionally, an appraisal may be necessary per your lender's requirements. The appraisal determines the property's value, which is crucial in determining the loan amount based on the appraised value or the sale price.

08 Loan approval 

You will work with your lender to finalize your loan application and provide all the necessary documents. Upon approval of the application, the closing will be scheduled accordingly.

09 Final Walk-through 

As part of my service, I will schedule the final walk-through of your new home on the day of closing and accompany you to ensure everything is in order and intact before finalizing the purchase.

10 Close & Celebrate!

A few days prior to the closing date, the title company will tell you how much money you will need to bring to the closing table. You will attend the closing accompanied by your attorney, where you will sign the necessary paperwork and officially receive the keys to your new home. Exciting! You will be officially the new homeowner! It is important to ensure a smooth transition by promptly contacting the utility providers and arranging for the services to be transferred to your name as the new homeowner. This proactive step will help ensure a smooth continuation of essential utilities in your new residence.

Connection with my clients extends far beyond the closing table—it marks the beginning of a lasting relationship!

"My family was having trouble looking for a home for weeks jumping from real estate agent to agent before my parents met Robena. She was a perfect fit for us. She worked tirelessly and with the utmost patience, driving my parents from home to home for weeks until she finally helped us to find our forever home. She is there with her clients literally every step of the way. It was lovely working with her and I hope anyone looking for a home will be lucky enough to find Robena because she really is the best out there!"

T.W.

"WOW WOW WOW!!!! Robena was a GIFT to work with. You will thank me later after you have an amazing experience sale or buy.
Why is she so great?
She has morals, ethics, kindness, a good heart, and is extremely smart. She listens, never interrupts, is cool headed and logical while still being warm and approachable.
She took on a HUGE challenge with our house and exceeded everyones expectations with our final sale price. She kept us realistic, made great suggestions to improve the home while being budget conscious.
From day one she made sure we knew she was on our team and we could do it. She was always so positive and practical and just so easy to work with.
I never dreaded a call and in fact always look forward to interactions with her. She is NOT a typical agent who wants sales but a true partner is helping achieve her clients goals.
I did not know Robena before this but I would highly recommend her to anyone in my family and would trust her implicitly to do a fantastic job. I am looking forward to staying in touch and supporting an amazing human, who made what can be a stressful a stressful experience feel easy!
Robena is the right woman for the job so contact her for someone who cares about your needs, not the sale.
Thank you Robena!!!!"

"Robena worked with my parents to find them their dream home. Honestly, I don’t know how they got so lucky, but I’m so thankful that they came across Robena because she was so patient, kind and passionate about her job and helping her clients find a home. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a realtor to guide them through a difficult housing market."

"Robena is a great realtor to work with. She works very hard and gives excellent advice. She kept me well-informed throughout the whole process. Highly recommended."

F.B.

"I consider myself very lucky to have been introduced to Robena, I thank my friend who recommended her to me while looking for an honest real estate agent. I haven't seen someone like her very dedicated to her work, giving her most time to search for homes and checking them on the real, keeping us updated with every step she is taking. I can't count the houses she checked or sent by email.
It took almost one year to find the appropriate house because we had some restricted demands and it seemed like it was impossible to meet them.
despite that Robena was very patient, kind, and accurate in turning our dream into reality. Without her, I do not think we would have been able to achieve that.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.
Thank you Robena for your presence, friendship, and loyalty. Keep in touch."

R.H.

"Spot on, from the moment I met her till the closing she kept me up to date. Being a renter in this process she really helped keep the anxiety down and helped with finding a new place in the process."

M.G.

"Robena works so hard and sincerely to find house for us, she had patient and really she is wonderful person to work with her."

R.Y.

"Robena is a very hardworking, selfless, and very straightforward with her work. She stood out with her personalized approach. She took the time to understand our preferences and lifestyle, evident when she found a home that matched our wishlist. She was always available and communicated how each part of the whole process would move forward. Her responsiveness was incredible. If she didn’t pick up, she always call back no longer than 5 minutes later. She would go out of her way to come and pick us up and take us to see the house. We’re so glad we chose Robena for our real estate process needs. Her knowledge and experience, combined with her patient approach, made this otherwise stressful event a smooth and successful process. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services! We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and we thank you for making it possible."
