What You Can Count On Heidi For
Heidi's success as a relocation specialist begins with her ability to listen to her clients' needs and wants and match them not just with a home, but with a lifestyle. She knows the Bay Area like the back of her hand, and she won't try to sell you a flat in the Haight if you'd be better off with a Victorian in Bernal Heights. A former educator, Heidi is adept at guiding buyers through the process of qualifying for a loan, negotiating creative financing with a lender, finding appropriate listings, and making an offer that the seller can't refuse. If you're selling your house, Heidi is a savvy negotiator with tried-and-true marketing strategies who can maximize your gains. Buyer or seller, single or family, if you're Heidi's client, you can count on her to have your best interests in mind.
Heidi's Relocation Program includes the following services:
FOR BUYERS:
An initial consultation in which you and Heidi will discuss what you're looking for in a home and a neighborhood. You can fill out the online Buyer's Form to help Heidi learn more about you and your lifestyle so she can show you only those properties that suit your needs.
Assistance in pre-qualifying for a loan and considering all available financing options. Heidi has an excellent reputation among local lenders and has helped hundreds of clients with creative financing.
A personal community orientation. Heidi knows how to find the right neighborhood, where to get a killer burrito or a shot of wheatgrass, and how long it takes to get from Noe Valley to the Financial District at 7 a.m. on a Monday morning. She can give you a personal tour of the neighborhoods that are right for you and show you the sights and sounds of San Francisco, from museums and shopping to daycare and nightlife.
A list of properties that meets your specific requirements. Don't waste time looking at homes that are too big, too small, too expensive, or too far from your office. Let Heidi narrow the choices down to those that are just right for you.
Assistance in preparing an offer. After spending the last 12 years negotiating with buyers and sellers, Heidi can help you write the winning offer. She knows what to expect and how to avoid surprises.
Management of the inspection process through escrow. Heidi will explain pest control and contractor issues and keep you posted on all developments throughout the escrow process.
FOR SELLERS:
An initial consultation in which you and Heidi will discuss your expectations and develop a plan to maximize your gains. In this seller's market, Heidi can help you keep the bidders from camping out on your front lawn. You can fill out the online Seller's Form in advance.
Setup and supervision of inspections and repairs. Heidi has a network of contractors and other vendors who can help you get your property in tiptop shape. Once you have an offer, she'll also keep you up to date during the escrow period.
Advertising. Heidi will take care of installing For Sale signs and your property will be advertised in the MLS book, the Association of Realtors computer system, and on the Internet. She'll advertise Open Houses in local newspapers and prepare a property flyer to distribute to all agents. She'll give you a progress report at least once a week.
Open Houses. Heidi will hold public open houses. She will also hold a Broker's Open House and call other brokers and top agents active in the area. She'll set up individual showings herself, and also install a lockbox for easy broker access, if suitable.
Negotiation for the best price and terms. Heidi seems to have a lock on the Chairman's Circle Award for top producers, and she didn't get there by taking the first offer she receives. You can rest assured that you'll get the best possible deal when you've got Heidi negotiating on your behalf.
Review of final papers. Heidi will be on the job until all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. Once you've accepted an offer, she'll make sure that pertinent disclosures are signed and timelines are adhered to. She'll give final instructions to the escrow company and review all final documents.
