Buyer’s Agent in Delano, and what makes it particular.

Drive Highway 12 at your real commute hour, and drive it both ways. People who work in the 394 corridor are often surprised how well this works, and people who work northeast of downtown find it does not. On river property, ask about the floodplain and get the survey.

An older river-town core, steady nineties and two-thousands subdivision, plus rural acreage and river lots outside the city.

Real Estate Buying

Buyer representation and how it is paid are agreed in writing before we tour a home. In many transactions the seller has offered compensation that covers it, and we will tell you exactly where that stands on any house you want to see.

How it runs

The process, Delano or anywhere else.

  1. Sit down first

    What you want, what you can carry, and what the lender will approve. A pre-approval before touring, not after, because sellers in this market read a financing contingency closely.

  2. Set the search

    Towns, school district, commute, lot size, water. We set alerts on the criteria that matter and stop sending you everything else.

  3. Tour and rule out

    Ruling houses out fast is the point. You should leave a showing knowing why it is or is not the one.

  4. Write the offer

    Price supported by comparable sales, plus the terms that make it competitive without exposing you. Inspection, financing and appraisal contingencies explained before you sign, not after.

  5. Inspection and negotiation

    Inspector, septic compliance, well test where it applies. Then a second negotiation on what the report turns up.

  6. Close

    Title work, the walkthrough, the closing disclosure read line by line before you sign it.

Highway 12 makes this a west-metro commute, not an I-94 one.

The wider picture

More about Delano.

Delano runs its commute on Highway 12, which makes it a different drive than the I-94 towns. Highway 12 is the whole point and it is worth understanding before you buy. It is not a freeway for its full length, so the drive is steadier and less prone to the stop-and-go that makes I-94 unpredictable, but it also has stretches where a slow vehicle sets the pace. Delano is also known regionally for its Fourth of July celebration, which is a big deal locally and worth knowing if you are buying near the parade route.

Which school district serves Delano?

What does it cost me to have you as my buyer’s agent?

We agree it in writing before we tour, which is now required. In many transactions the seller has offered compensation that covers our side, and on any specific house we will tell you exactly what is offered before you decide to see it. You will never find out at closing.
