We at First Realty of C.R. understand that buying a home--(commercial,) or investment property--is a major decision that will impact every area of your life. Throughout the process, at every stage, you have our support:

      • Listening attentively, as well as helping you determine your exact needs & desires.
      • Searching our extensive database of both private unlisted & open market properties, cooperating with
        other area agents.
     • Touring properties, discussing the pros & cons, refining the ‘wish list’.
     • Negotiating a contract so that regardless of who we are legally representing, all parties are more than        satisfied.
     • Our seasoned agents (& bi-lingual lawyers) will make all aspects of the closing feel secure & well-         understood.
    • Since C.R. has no official ‘Welcome Wagon’, we have follow-up services to help you with whatever
       needs may come up.


                                                          A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE GOES A LONG WAY

We’re knowledgeable, but more importantly:
We’re attentive listeners! We use a combination of effective listening & guided questions to determine your specific needs.
The choice of a home is a very personal matter. To some, light is overwhelmingly important, to a large family it may be separation of space, to those working in the home it’s a good blance between business & private life. Whatever your special needs are, we help you make clear & conscious choices.
Narrowing the field: Our clients sometimes discover that their “dream home” is not the one they’d be happiest in! We once worked with a successful woman executive in the process of downsizing (her business). We looked at many fabulous houses with more than adequate office space, but to no avail. With our help, she came to discover that, with the changes in her life, it was really a large kitchen & dining room that she was looking for! We now attend great dinner parties at her house. We help each client discover & clarify what qualities in a house will truly serve them best.

                                                                                      A GOOD MIX

We are thoroughly familiar with our databases & those of our outside-the-office colleagues. Whether it’s finding a home, a commercial site, or investment property, we are equally comfortable & knowledgeable. Because we are familiar with the various neighborhoods & areas, we are often informed of properties coming up for sale before they are formally listed. The combination of attentive listening followed by extensive searches has proven to be the perfect recipe for connecting clients with the property that is just right for them.

We are delighted each & every time a clients says, “Yes, that’s it!”

                                                                        COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

The needs of an office or any commercial site are no different(!) A great number of factors contribute to the success of any commercial site: & we take equal care & have extensive resources for finding you the perfect one, from office suites for small businesses to extensive properties for manufacturing or any commercial venture.

                                                                            “WHERE THE MONEY IS”

Finances are a complex area of anyone’s life. At the time of a major property purchase, (& in these difficult times,) more so. We support our clients with dialoguing, examining their particular issues & providing a broad-based network of loan officers, banking referrals for you to choose from.
Contracts are complex documents--especially in Spanish, & we fully translate, making sure you feel clear & comfortable before proceeding. We have confidence in the fully bi-lingual lawyers we have worked with for over 8 years.

                                                                        OUR POLICY IS ‘WIN-WIN’

The ‘product’ is the property you have chosen--but the process is equally important. We are known for ease of negotiations--& for making sure that each party is more than satisfied with every detail of a contract.

We encourage you to stop the process at any time & ask questions or ask us to clarify points. Spanish is a lyrical language, but in a real estate contract, it is important that each distinct concept be fully understood.

                                                                      A GOOD TRACK RECORD

Other agents will sometimes call us with a ‘difficult’ client--someone they’ve shown many properties to but without success. We sit down with them both, clarify their goals, re-look at the available database &--voila! We are able to connect them with ‘their’ house. We pride ourselves on being consulted in this fashion & enjoy working cooperatively.

                                                               PATIENCE IS ITS OWN REWARD

We understand every phase of the process, from initial dialoguing to making the formal ‘wish list’ to searching data bases, & even to that inevitable short phase called “Buyer’s Regrets”. When we reach that phase, we’re good at ‘hand holding’, helping our buyers through the inevitable last minute doubts & questions that come up. Throughout the process, at every stage, you have our support. We understand that buying a home is a major decision that will impact every aspect of your life; & we’re there for you at both the enthused & the difficult junctures.

                                                 DOROTHY, YOU’RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE

Once the home/property is yours, our services don’t stop here! We’re happy to put you in touch with reliable & efficient gardeners, plumbers, electricians, handymen, & security companies for your immediate & future needs. We have a wonderful list of people we’ve worked with over the years--& this can save you time, money, & a variety of false starts.
Every culture has its joys--& its challenges. We like to give some thought to “after-care” once your home is bought & you’re happ
