Properly prepare forms, contracts and disclosures, which are required by law, and make sure that they are legally correct. Provide comparable sales data to assure that you are paying the proper price for your home. See that the completion of the transaction is smooth, including obtaining keys and taking possession of the property.
Before you step foot into the first home you look at, it's a good idea to thoughtfully determine your wants and needs, and the difference between the two! By analyzing your needs you will be able to get a clear picture of exactly what you want your new home to look like and how it should function for you.
A written proposal is the foundation of a real estate transaction. Therefore, you need to enter into a written contract, which starts with your purchase offer. This proposal not only specifies price, but all the term and conditions of the purchase. There are a variety of standard forms used by agents and bound by both the law and local practice.
Unless you're planning to make an all-cash purchase (in which case you'll be a very popular buyer!), you're going to have to secure a mortgage. Though the process can be complex and daunting, it helps to understand what to expect and to take the time up front to really sit down and know what you want and need from your lender.
It is customary and prudent for a buyer and seller to have a third, disinterested party to assist them in carrying out the terms of their agreement. In California, this procedure is known as an escrow. When opening an escrow, the buyer and seller establish terms and conditions for the transfer of ownership of property.

Report
I was the buyer of a single family home and was represented by Mrs. Hawkins throughout the buying process. She is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. There wasn't a single detail that was overlooked. She looks out for you in every aspect. Knows how to protect you as a buyer or seller in every way possible. Very tough negotiator (and I'm not just saying that. Take my word for it). Not one corner was cut. In my opinion, there isn't another agent that has better morals. She is truly on your side.
