The Buying Process consists of several steps. We have a proven system of success when working with our Buyers.

Locate the property
Negotiate the offer- offer accepted
Open escrow- Send deposit to escrow officer- arrange for inspections
The First 3 days we are able to review the Disclosure Statements provided to us by the Listing Agent from the Seller
The first 14-17 days of the escrow is the Discovery period. This is when we conduct any and all inspections we deem necessary to substantiate the value of the property. Any discovered defects we will have an opportunity to renegotiate. This will usually be in the form of a credit back or a reduction on the purchase price
If we are obtaining financing, during the first 14-17 days of the escrow the lender will be obtaining an appraisal by a licensed appraiser and processing all of the required documentation for the loan.
Once all contingencies have been met the deposit is usually increased to 3% of the purchase price and the contingencies are removed in writing.
A few days before we close escrow we will be having a “Signing” appointment with the Escrow Officer. They will have all of the docs prepared to transfer the title upon close of escrow. Remember to bring your ID with you to this appointment. You will also arrange with the Escrow Officer to transfer into the escrow account the balance of the money to close escrow
The day we close escrow is the day you receive the keys for your new property

I highly advise you to contact us and set up a Buyers Consultation Appointment. Here we can listen to your needs and concerns and provide you with a workable solution to obtain the property you want. Call us at + 415 925 3272 or e-mail us at info@sea2skyresidences.com
