INFORMATION FOR MY SEDONA HOME BUYERS

What is Catherine Hardy going to do for me that I can’t do myself?

You might have lived an accomplished professional life. The fact you are even researching this means you
are probably quite capable and intelligent. But allow me to explain why I believe what I will do for you will
exceed what you will do for yourself.

As your representative,

 

  • I provide a resident’s perspective. I’m not just a Sedona Realtor. I’m a Sedona resident. In fact, I’ve lived here since relocating in 1988. Since that time I’ve seen a lot of changes. I’ve witnessed the evolution of Sedona’s discovery and growth. I know the idiosyncracies of living in Sedona in general as well as the specific areas that you might be considering. Although I can visit or read about an area and therefore think I know a lot about it, nothing substitutes for living there.

  • I bring a solid knowledge base that can only be obtained through extensive experience. How long did it take you to become an expert in your field? I have been a full-time Sedona real estate agent since 1989. That means I have transacted literally hundreds of real estate sales. And even with that much experience I continue to learn something new with almost every transaction. Every combination of property, buyer and seller are different, but many of the challenges are related. I can anticipate the possible obstacles to a successful transaction before they happen. And I have compiled a list of competent vendors and other resources to assist me in resolving issues that will inevitably arise. Like Verizon Wireless says, “Your problem becomes my problem.” And I take that very seriously.

  • I bring an intimate knowledge of the inventory. I am constantly viewing and showing Sedona real estate. Sometimes I know of properties before they even hit the market. And I know these properties first hand, not just viewing virtual tours and photos online. I also make it a point to watch the daily activity report for properties that meet my serious buyers’ criteria. In summary, I know Sedona real estate so you don’t have to!

  • I have studied negotiating strategies and developed skills that will assist you in making a smarter real estate purchase. The purchase and/or sale of real estate can be a highly emotionally charged experience. Combinations of personalities and motivations for buying and selling do not always gel between buyer and seller. I have studied negotiating and conflict resolution so that I can more effectively represent your interests at the time of contract, repair negotiations, and beyond.

  • I can help you determine your buying power. I have developed numerous lender contacts for meeting endless buyer needs. And even before introducing you to the right lender for your needs, I can walk you through a general financing assessment to help you understand the cash resources you’ll require, debt ratios, and other lender evaluations.

  • I will be your guide through the entire buying process. My services begin with our introductory conversation and do not conclude until you tell me we are done! That includes the initial evaluation of Sedona or the Verde Valley as a possibility for purchase, the viewing and eventual selection of the appropriate property, the construction and negotiation of the purchase agreement, the coordination of all details during the transaction including scheduling inspections, reviewing reports, communications with your lender and other advisors, and insuring that you meet all deadlines and other commitments of contract.

  • And the one you’ll probably appreciate the most . . . I am customarily paid by the seller. With rare exception, there is no cost to you as the buyer to utilize my services described above.
