Consultation For Homebuyers, jamieblackhomes.ca
Welcome to jamieblackhomes.ca virtual online consultation that will guide you through what would otherwise be a face-to-face meeting.

The purpose of the consultation is to help you determine your home and neighbourhood characteristics most important to you by identifying your needs and wishlist items.

This online consultation should take you 5-10 minutes.  A typical in-person consultation would take 45 minutes to uncover and understand a homebuyer's pin-point needs.

From the consultation, a plan is developed to ensure your goals are aligned with the process to achieve the desired result.  The form that follows is a roadmap that any great agent would use in the course of a conversation/in-person meeting.  Virtual consultations lack the human element and yet can be helpful to a homebuyer who is considering a real estate purchase while uncommitted to meet with a Realtor®.

What you will receive from me is a customized home buyer plan with helpful worksheets and tools.
  . Get acquainted with every neighbourhood property in your preferred price range
  . Receive property listing alerts along with market snapshots and market reports
  . Digital home collections - I will provide you listings matching your criteria the moment they hit the market
  . Receive notifications when a property has a price change whether up or down
  . Complete historical property details
  . Client friendly website tools to assist you in searching for properties, the ability to save favorite ones, and share them with a spouse/partner, family, or friends.

Okay, are you ready?  I’m going to ask you some really tough questions and this is where the fun stuff begins.

The first thing I’m going to talk about is the actual transaction (what’s needs to happen, for you, in the process to be satisfied).  The second part is going to be about the home criteria you want to love to live in.

Let's get started.

THE HOME BUYING PROCESS:  What has to happen in the process.
Here is where you are going to describe what the 3 most important things are to you when you decide to work with a realtor.  Example:  Trustworthy, Experience, Integrity, Communication, Systems, Availability, Honesty, Direct, Detail Analysis, Identifying Target Homes, Pre-Inspecting Homes, Professional Resources, etc.
On a scale of 1 – 10, with 1 being not very important at all and 10 being absolutely awesome, what one thing in the process has to happen for this to be a 10 for you.  Why is that important to you? *
So if we can add one more thing to make this a 10+ what would that be?  Why is that important to you? *
If we could add one more thing to make this a 10++ what would that be>  Why is that important? *
Determining the home characteristics:
Now let’s talk about the home.  This is the fun part.  You’re only going to get THREE have-to-have criteria.  We can have lots of WANTS but you are only allowed to have three absolute must haves for now.
On a scale of 1 – 10, with 1 being not very important and 10 being everything you want what does your home have to have for it to be a 10. *
If we could add one more thing to make this home a 10+ what would that have to be?  Why is that important? *
If we could add one more thing to make this home a 10++ what would that have to be?  Why is that important? *
Please list all your WANTS that would make your MUST list the perfect home.  Describe the interior or features that would make this an amazing dream home you would buy.

Summary:  Looking back on your list of MUST HAVE (deal breakers) and WANTS (wish list), what are the top five things your home needs to have? I suggest ranking them using a rating scale from 1 - 10.  The 5 closest to 10 are likely those most important to you.  Doing so will greatly reduce the amount of time looking at properties that don't match your true needs and wants criteria.

Choosing a Realtor - How I Work With Clients
I want to share something important with you.  I make a 100% commitment to my clients.  All I ask is that they make a 100% commitment to me.  How do you feel about that?

100% commitment means that I am going to go above and beyond for you throughout the entire process.  I am going to make sure that you receive all the best care and honest advice while we work together to find the home that suits your needs on your timeline and financial goals.  I want to makes sure you understand that I will give you 100% commitment and all I ask is that you give me the same commitment in return.
 
I’m not sure if you are aware that there are over 130 steps in the buying process from the time we meet here today to the time you close on your next home.  The great news is that I have a team and systems in place for each step along the way to make sure every detail is being attended to.  For example, I operate a listing service notification that will provide you with real-time alerts for every property you would have an interest in so you see it first before the general public.  Yes, even before seeing it on Realtor.ca you will see it first.  We have a team of allied resources from mortgage professionals, lawyers, expert purchasing clauses, home inspectors, and even contractors that are readily available to help along the way to make sure your best interests are being met.

What I like to do with all my clients is have an agreement of loyalty.  All it's saying is that we are going to work together, that you would like me to work in your best interest, and you’re going to deal with me honestly and fairly, and I am going to deal with you honestly and fairly.

Here are the Brokerage obligations.  To treat you honestly and fairly, help you with your financing options, to make sure you understand the contract and clauses, what your options are during a negotiation,  negotiate on your behalf and not the seller or seller’s agent, and of course to make sure you are being looked after in your best interest at all times.

Your job is basically the same thing.  Be upfront and honest with me.  Be loyal to me and that's all I'm going to ask of you.  If there is something you don’t like, come and talk to me about it.  If you don’t like the properties that’s okay they’re not mine.  Again my job is to help you get through this process.

There are a few things you do need to know.  The first thing here is I could charge a retainer fee for a client to have my services.  To be honest I have never done that and truly feel I don’t deserve to be paid until I have actually completed the process.  Does that sound fair?

So how do I get paid?  The loyalty agreement authorizes me to legally represent you and I am going to ask the seller to pay me to help you.  How amazing is that…you don’t pay me and the seller does.  Please understand that typically when a seller is in a multiple listing service they have already agreed to pay a fee to me so you don’t need to worry about it.  Typically builders have already agreed to pay, and in most cases, most for-sale-by-owners will pay a fee for my services as well.

The only thing you need to be aware of is if you go out looking at properties without me or you start to negotiate without me and they don’t want to pay me because they didn't realize I was part of the transaction, you may be obligated to pay that fee at that time.  Basically, this means we are going to be in a monogamous relationship for a defined period (this is determined together and unilaterally decided by me), hang-out together (specific to real estate of course), and be honest and upfront with each other because I don’t want you out there jeopardizing yourself because my job is to protect you.  Does that sound fair?

What if you start to feel uncomfortable working with me.  All I ask is that you come and talk to me about what you are experiencing and how it's making you feel and give me a chance to fix it first.  I am not here to put a chain around your neck.  I want you to be happy in the process.  I want a client who is happy working with me and I am happy working with them.  If some reason we decide we cannot work together will part as friends…is that sound alright?

I offer a cancellation policy, no questions asked.  Simply let me know who you would like to hire as your next agent and their brokerage name and I will prepare the transfer paperwork right away.  Again, all I ask if that you give me an opportunity to fix things first.

I hope this virtual consultation has provided you with some insight and thoughts.  I look forward to earning your trust and working with you professionally to help you in your real estate home buying process.

Kindly,
Jamie
