HOMEOWNER RESOURCES
Know what you’re signing.
Preview the buyer documents, understand the questions to ask, and work through the details with Matthew before your next step.
The paperwork should support your understanding.
Buying a home brings several documents into the conversation: representation agreements, disclosures, an offer, inspection notices, and closing documents. Each has a different purpose. I want you to understand who is involved, what you are agreeing to, and what happens next.
We will review responsibilities, costs, important dates, and any conditions that matter to your purchase. If a question calls for legal advice, I can help you identify what to take to a qualified attorney.
Bring your questions to the consultation.
Start with these questions as you read. We can go through them together before you sign.
- Who does this agreement represent, and what services are included?
- How long does the agreement last, and what happens if my plans change?
- What compensation or other costs am I agreeing to?
- Which deadlines require me to act, and how is notice delivered?
- Which terms remain open for negotiation?
