Jane is ranked among the top 1% of Tri-County
area buyer agents in terms of sales volume in 2010. What
separates Jane from other real estate professionals is her enthusiasm, loving what
she does and her persistence. No deal is too big or too small.
Jane finds it equally rewarding to find the perfect home for that
first time buyer, as well as, find the second or third home for the
person that lives across the world. Jane is a skilled negotiator and
will work to make sure her clients are completely satisfied with all aspects of the
buying process. When you hire Jane, you get Jane, not an assistant.
How much does it cost? As a buying
agent, Jane doesn't cost you anything, but offers you a major
advantage through her professional networking that will locate the
best listings and values. Jane can tailor a search to provide
detailed information on listings that meet your specific
requirements, giving you a complete understanding of the
construction/development history, zoning laws, school district
information and any other specifics with which you may be concerned.
Can I work with you and other agents at the same
time? The answer would be no. There is no advantage
to working with multiple agents. Buyers are better served to
find one agent that will represent their best interests. You only need one
realtor that is loyal, hard-working and able to give you sound
advise. We all have access to the same listings.
This allows you to focus on finding the home that is right for you
and working with a buyer's agent that knows your objectives, without
having to explain yourself to different agents every time you would
like to schedule a showing.
I am looking to buy investment property.
Can you help me? Yes. Jane knows the process. She
owns investment properties herself. She knows how important it
is to find a "good deal" and how to help you create a plan to manage
the property.
I am not ready to commit to an agent just yet.
May I ask you a few questions about a specific property or
Charleston in general? Yes, I would be happy to answer any
questions you might have about the Charleston area and real estate.
You are welcome to email or call.

buy a home in Charleston, Jane would like to opportunity to assist you in your

Buying residential real estate in Charleston,
SC:
More about the advantages to working with one agent:
Save time. Are you beginning the process of find a home in
Charleston? There many homes and companies from which to
choose. Do you need to call every company in Charleston to
find out more information about a particular home that interests
you? No. One agent can show you all the homes in the
Charleston area that are listed in the MLS.
Actually, choosing an agent before you start you
home search is a good idea. We are able to show their listings
as well as other agent's listings. Agents and companies give
each other detailed information about all the homes for sale.
Foreclosure and
Short Sales. I have worked with several buyers on these
types properties this year. Expect foreclosure/short sale properties to
take up to 6 - 9 months on average depending on where you live.
If you are looking to buy this kind
of real estate, patience is the key requirement. One in five short sales actually close. Thirty
to sixty days is the average for
a normal closing.
In a down real estate
market, you need an expert to help you identify overpriced homes,
assist in marketing your house, negotiate and come to terms with
reluctant home sellers, and uncover bargains. Jane Dowd, a
Charleston Realtor, would like to assist you in this process.

Tips to buying the
perfect home in Charleston, SC for you...

What kind of home are you looking
for? - Define what you want
in your home.
-
What can you afford?
- Figure out how much house you can afford.
-
Shopping for homes
-
Making An Offer -
Once you find the home you want, you need to make an offer for the
house. Typically this is a very difficult and trying time since both
parties have totally different goals. In most cases it is better to
have a third party, such as a real estate professional, negotiate
the offer.
-
Home Inspection &
Insurance - After your offer is accepted you or your agent will need to set
up, coordinate and interpret various inspections, including insect,
radon, building quality, oil tank, title, etc. You will also need to
arrange for homeowners insurance and finalize the mortgage.
-
The Final Closing
- Before you arrive at the closing, you or your agent will make sure all the necessary
paper work and deposits have been completed. If the mortgage, title
work, homeowners insurance and other items necessary under local and
state laws are not completed and brought to the closing table, the
closing may not happen on time.
