Planning to purchase a home in the near future in the Atlanta area? Then you‘ve probably been browsing the AJC real estate ads, classifieds, and surfing the INTERNET every day. As you read the real estate ads, each seems more confusing than the previous one! Your head spins as you read, "Alpharetta / Roswell 3BR, 2.55BA, 2 HVAC, FP, BSMT. $179,750."  Your palms sweat! It is all so confusing.  The ads, and the INTERNET will give you enough information to drive yourself crazy! What does it all mean? What does it look like? Where is it? How much will it really cost? You finally find that one home that sounds just right you call! After several attempts, and voice messages, you finally get through. Then you find the home is already "SOLD!" Isn't it so frustrating? You wonder if you will ever find the home that is just right for you.  So, where do you start?

So don’t worry, you’re not alone. It is difficult to translate the abbreviated words and the hype sales jargon in a newspaper or .jpeg image into the home of your dreams!   It is all just marketing.  Also, printed ads and web listings tend to be stale.  Ad deadlines have to be met sometimes a month before, especially if they are in a magazine. Yet most buyers often begin their home search by looking through ads or surfing the web. They don’t even realize what a waste of time!  It's a very time consuming and tedious process, and now they find it is many times non productive search.  The listings are probably already sold!  These good ones always sell quick, so perhaps you are looking  at the leftovers!  The truth of the matter is that even a seasoned real estate agent couldn’t find the homes they hope to sell through the ads or on the web. The reason is, there is not enough information! All the important information is missing, because you have to call the agent to get the rest of the information. So why not try another approach?  

There is no need to wander aimlessly through an endless desert of unsuitable houses. Most of the classifieds seem to be handyman's specials, and fixer-uppers. However, these properties are in such disrepair, even a handyman would find it overwhelming. Yet the owner of the classified expects you to buy it!  

You have the power to break out of this rut! By making a single phone call to Jim and Ellen, you can open the door to a wide selection of homes that match your exact requirements.

Before making that call, ask yourself:

1) "Am I really committed to buying a home?"

2)"When will I be ready to make this purchase?"

Once you have answered those two questions make that phone call to Jim and Ellen Crawford at: 770-238-0122 or E-mail us! Whether this is your first purchase or thirtieth, explain your purchase plans, and then be prepared to answer questions about your preferred locations, styles, price, and financing. Once you are qualified, and you feel comfortable with your monthly payments, we can set up an appointment! Ellen and Jim will develop a buyer’s home profile that best matches available homes to the one you describe, and will arrange for you to view the most suitable homes at your earliest convenience.  

If you are not pre-approved or pre-qualified for your financing, ask us to arrange a "pre-qualification" interview with one of several mortgage loan officers. The lender will explain available mortgage options, ask for credit and employment information, then advise you of the maximum loan amount for which you qualify. Once you are pre-qualified, you can shop with confidence for the perfect home.  

Getting pre-qualified is a good idea when house hunting, because it is a way of determining your budget when purchasing a home and allows you to determine the amount of your down payment as well as your monthly payments. It is important to let your agent know what you've qualify to purchase. A pre-qualification letter is usually received after filling out a basic application. Pre-qualification can also strengthen your position when making an offer on the home of your dreams by giving you negotiation leverage.

Once you’ve committed to work exclusively with Jim and Ellen Crawford as your Buyer Agents, we’ll do all the MLS searches to match your preferences. We’ll preview a wide selection of homes, eliminating already sold or under contract homes, homes not up to your standards, or ones that are otherwise unsuitable. We can then make appointments for your first visit to the best homes, and your search will begin in earnest!
