Buying Your Home

Why Buy With Us?

Finding your new home or space can be quite challenging and time consuming. Team Kleiner will help you find what you are looking for and simplify the process.

Our customer-oriented approach will ensure that all of your questions and concerns are addressed before making this next big purchase.

We strive to provide a stress-free experience for our clients and therefore provide moving services free of charge when you buy with us.

Typically, once the realtor helps the client find their new home, the job is done, they collect their commission, and the business relationship ends there. But Team Kleiner doesn’t believe that is where the customer service should end.

Having moved our family many times, we know the value of having trusted support with you all the way home – and that’s why we will move you into your new house for free.

Team Kleiner Will

Act as an expert guide.

Buying a home typically requires a variety of forms, reports, disclosures, and other legal and financial documents. Team Kleiner is very knowledgeable about what’s required, helping you avoid delays and costly mistakes. Also, there’s a lot of jargon involved in a real estate transaction; you want to work with a professional who can speak the language.

Offer objective information and opinions.

We will look at your potential new homes with an unbiased eye, providing you with the information you need to make a relatively objective decision considering a broad set of personal and market factors.

Expedite your search

We will present you with a short list of qualified properties aligned with your needs. Our contacts with other industry professionals, previous clients, and other partners will let us guide you quickly to suitable potential homes. We have a broad personal network and solid professional connections with Stonehaus Realty and beyond.

Give you a sense of security.

Risk is a fact of life. To minimize it, we follow protocols to ensure the reliability of all parties on your purchase transaction. We will prescreen sellers and properties so you will deal within a trusted network. We will also help educate parties about how to prevent fraudulent dealings.

Stand in your corner during negotiations.

There are many factors up for discussion in any real estate transaction. Team Kleiner will help you navigate the fine points to ensure you’re meeting your objectives. You are our client so your interests will be our top priority.

Ensure up-to-date experience.

Most people buy only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each sale. Even if you’ve bought a home before, laws and regulations change. We have handled many transactions over the course of our career and can help make sure that your purchase goes smoothly.

Be your rock during emotional moments.

A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. It is normal to experience strong emotion and stress when reviewing potential new homes and neighborhoods. Having a concerned but objective third party helps you stay focused on the issues most important to you when temporary emotions might interfere with an otherwise sound transaction.

Provide fair and ethical treatment.

We follow a strict Code of Ethics, which is based on professionalism, serving the interests of clients, and protecting the public. When you work with us, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all matters.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We would be happy to chat with you.

Partner with Team Kleiner. Leverage our network and expertise. Get a great deal. Close with confidence.

Buyer’s Guide

Step 1: Define What You Want First and foremost, create a prioritized list of features you would like to have in your next home as well as where you want to live. This will be especially useful in finding your perfect living space and narrowing down your choices, although it is important to remember that depending on your budget, compromises will most likely have to be made.

We will help you by sharing market trends and local information like neighborhood statistics and community links. We aim to make this an enjoyable and smooth process.

Step 2: Figure Out What You Can Afford Now that you know what you want, it's time to see what you can afford. You can start by crunching the numbers yourself using our mortgage calculator.

When you're ready to move to the next step, you can get pre-approved for a mortgage. This process can often be performed in under an hour and it accomplishes two important goals.

First, it will tell you how much you can afford and what your monthly payments would be.

Second, it tells the seller that you can afford to buy their home. By definition, a pre-approved buyer has an approved mortgage subject to an appraisal of the property. Many times a buyer can use this pre-approved status as leverage during the negotiation process.

Step 3: Shop For Homes Once you know what community you'd like to live in and have an idea of how much house you can afford, it's time to start checking out actual properties. Beginning this search online can help save you time since it can help you target homes that meet your search criteria.

We will leverage Team Kleiner’s full access to new and existing listings to build a short-list of properties for you to consider.

Next, begin visiting homes in person. We will arrange visits to houses that are in your target area and price range - and liaise with the listing agents to seek out any additional information that may be relevant to you or the transaction.

When comparing homes, make sure to look at all aspects of the property. Is the property tax approximately the same? Are both the houses renovated? Do they both have the same amount of bedrooms and bathrooms? Are both houses located on the same or similar streets? Does either house have any encumbrances? Remember to keep an open mind when you are looking at homes. Use a virtual home planner to help you imagine what the house could become with you as the owner.

Step 4: Make An Offer Once you find the home you want, we will support you in making an offer for the house. We will define and negotiate the offer.

If you have any personal interaction with the homeowner, you don't need to give out any information about your move, your current housing status, financial status or your feelings about their property - positive or negative. This could hurt you in future negotiations.

Step 5: Inspection & Insurance After your offer is accepted we will advise you coordinating property inspections; including insect, radon, building quality, oil tank, title, etc. You will also need to arrange for homeowners insurance and finalize the mortgage.

This is a major step in the buying process and there are many potential problems that can be discovered during this period. These include a leaky roof, radon gas, termite damage, a foundation problem, and wall cracks, to name a few. These problems happen all the time.

The difference between closing on your dream home and starting the process all over again is what occurs during the negotiations between you and the seller.

Team Kleiner can help make these discussions and negotiations go more smoothly. This is your chance to make sure that all of the items that you have agreed upon were completed to your satisfaction.

Step 6: The Final Closing Before you arrive at the closing, we will help make sure all the necessary paperwork and deposits have been completed.

If the mortgage, contracts and other items necessary are not properly completed and brought to the closing table, the closing may not happen on time.

Once you close, it's official - you own the house! But there might be a few things you want to do before you lay out the welcome mat. These may include some renovations, arranging for an alarm system, transferring utilities, replacing the carpet, arranging for lawn services, etc.

After that, you are ready to move in!
