number1
Loan Pre-Approval

Connect with a trusted local lender 

number 2
Home Search

Focus on location, then price

Top Five Elements:

  1. Location
  2. Price
  3. Style (sqft + bed/bath, stories, etc.)
  4. School District
  5. HOA

Look at homes that fit your search criteria (This is a team effort). I’ll send you homes that we can look at together. If there is a home that you find online or see while driving, contact me so we can research the property and walk through it together

number 3
Craft Competitive Offer Package

Price, Timing, Terms

Considerations:

  1. Best foot forward. Always!
  2. If renting, give notice, but when?
  3. Do not give notice until the property inspection has been completed and you have final loan approval.
  4. May need to overlap rental and move-in property 1-2wks (budget for this)

The buying environment has been very competitive depending on price point. Anticipate multiple offers when the property is priced right and in a good location. If you want THAT house, you must move fast with certainty.

Offer Elements:

1. Buyer’s letter to seller

  • Who you are
  • What you love about the property
  • Please consider our offer

2. Agent letter to agent
3. Loan Approval

  •  Letter from lender stating assets have been received and your credit is strong

4. Proof of Funds

  • Money down
  • Letter of gift, etc.

5. Clean and Complete Offer

"John was fantastic to work with. Any question or issue that arose throughout the process was taken care of immediately. John is very knowledgeable, personable and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend working with Mr. Zimmer. John's attention to detail showed through to the final day when we closed and he met up with us to celebrate and give us a nice housewarming gift. He is very thoughtful and made us feel appreciated."

John Zimmer did an awesome job helping us buy a home for our 3-generation family to live together. Then he sold my home in a few days! He helped us every step of the way to make everything happen right on schedule or before. John's team of financial, loan and escrow people were amazing! He had lots of great people to recommend for making the move go smoothly. John has become a good friend to our family!"
