Home Buyer Tips

Once you've found the downtown San Diego luxury home or condo you love, it's time to make an offer! We'll guide you through the process so your offer stands out from the rest. For additional tips, request our free report called "Making the Offer" now!

Home Buyer Tip #1:

Find the right agent.
Most San Diego real estate agents are hoping to capitalize on the fast-moving downtown market. But do they have a proven track record in the neighborhood? Are they a Certified Residential Specialist? Are they even full-time REALTORS®? When it comes to buying downtown San Diego properties, our in-depth knowledge of the area and record of successful real estate transactions gives clients valuable peace of mind. Learn more about us, including smart ways to choose your real estate agent.

Home Buyer Tip #2:

Protect your rights.
Have you heard that "it's a seller's market" yet? If not, you will! But don't worry. There are many laws in place to protect your rights as a home buyer--from discrimination regulations to rules governing expenses. So if you're considering entering into a FSBO transaction or enlisting help from a part-time agent, think carefully about whether perceived benefits are worth some very real risks.

Home Buyer Tip #3:

Get prequalified before you begin to search.
Whether you're a first-time buyer a long-time resident or someone looking for a San Diego vacation home, find out exactly how much you can afford to borrow before you begin to search in earnest. You may discover that instead of looking for a San Diego condo, you can also consider purchasing a downtown San Diego luxury home! -And remember, it is a well-known fact that prequalified buyers are taken more seriously by sellers than those who are not.

Home Buyer Tip #4:

Know what you want and what you must have.
There's a difference between needs and wants. Take the time to determine your needs and wants, both short term and long term. Our property information request can make the process easier.

Home Buyer Tip #5:

Consider resale at the time of purchase.
When you lay eyes on the wonderful array of downtown San Diego properties on the market today, you'll swear you want to live here forever. But even so, make your purchasing decision with resale value in mind. Location is one of the biggest factors in resale value and good news! --Both the downtown San Diego luxury home and San Diego condo markets are predicted to remain in high demand. Other resale factors include home size, view and comparable sales in the neighborhood.
