Buying a home is hard

We’re here to help you with the hard part.

Let us help you not only find a new house, but protect you and your assets to ensure you are doing what is best for you and your family. Below, please find a sampling of our initial process when working with someone looking to purchase a new home.

Why choose us

1
We Protect Your Money (And Your Sanity)
It’s very easy to overpay for a home right now. But how do you know what’s enough, and what’s too much? Tens of thousands of dollars hinge on the answer to that question, and we’re prepared to help you answer it.
2
We’ll Help You Get It Right
That means due diligence, a fancy legal term for being careful. How do you know if a foundation issue is really an issue, or if the roof can really last another ten years, as the seller claims? And what about local zoning ordinances? Is homeowners insurance widely available for this home?
3
We’ll Fight For You
A real estate agent who represents a seller has a legal responsibility to their client to get as much of your money as possible, on the terms least favorable to you. Our job is to have you keep as much of your money as possible, and secure the terms that work best for you.

Step 1: Connect & Discuss Options

During our initial call or meeting we will have a comprehensive discussion on your goals and explain how we plan to represent and guide you. We will create your ultimate wish list that includes your likes, dislikes, and must-haves so we can begin narrowing down the homes on the market that fit your criteria.

Step 2: Financing

Budget discussion is an imperative part of your home search. Not only for what falls within your price range, but what you may need for any additional updates. We work with an esteemed network of brokers that specialize in loans and mortgages. We will help guide you through the process of getting pre-qualified for a loan so you can focus on searching for a home that fits both your criteria and price range.

Step 3: The Ultimate Search

We will send you top tier listings that meet your criteria and set up MLS alerts so new listings are sent straight to your inbox. We are available to discuss every option and are there for both virtual and in-person tours. The Ballesteros Group years of combined experience can help you narrow down your search and decide which home is the one!

Step 4: Write an Offer

We will work diligently with you to write a competitive offer, which is important in such an aggressive market. The Ballesteros Group are experts in comparative research and negotiations. We will ensure you are making a fair offer and can count on us to always do what's in your best interest. Once you have an accepted offer, we'll arrange for inspections, appraisal, and mortgage approval. Not only is there negotiation needed on price, but also after inspections and appraisal. This may sound overwhelming, but we're here to make this process as easy as possible for you and are with you every step of the way.

Step 5: Close & Celebrate!

Congratulations! It's time to close on your dream home. On settlement day, the final paperwork is signed and the home is officially handed over to you. You'll receive the keys and you're officially a new homeowner! Our work with you doesn’t end there. The Ballesteros Group stands by you as you settle in and can assist you with recommendations for  all of your needs including carpenter, landscaping, interior design, roofing, plumbing and more. “It has been over a year since we purchased our home and The Ballesteros Group is still the first people I call when I need anything ranging from tree cutters to roofers. They still answer my phone calls with the same enthusiasm and passion as they did when were searching for a property and I always know their recommendations are vetted and trustworthy. I don’t know where we would be without the Ballesteros team!”
