Our Service
"Honesty, integrity and responsiveness." These are the words I live by when serving my customers. If you have a question I can't answer on the spot, I will research them and get you an answer as soon as I can.

The service we provide our customers is not just to search for houses and take them around to show them.
At JA Realty, we employ a "Team Approach" in assisting our customers--utilizing the unique strengths of each of our team members so we can best assist our customers.
We will provide you with our assistance during each and every step of your search.
PRE-QUALIFICATION PROCESS: The start of property search will be the pre-qualification process with a mortgage broker to determine your borrowing power for your mortgage and to check your credit report/score. We can introduce you to mortgage brokers we work with if necessary. Your credit score will determine the interest rate of your mortgage--the higher the credit score, the lower the mortgage interest rate. You may want to repair your credit report/score to improve your credit score and to reduce your monthly payment.
SET UP AUTO E-MAIL: Based on your search parameters, we will setup an Auto E-Mail where you will receive daily information on new properties coming on the market or changes to existing listings. The Auto E-Mail will contain the most detailed information about the property, easy to view property photos, an interactive map view, and property list management features.
VIEW PROPERTIES: We will take you to see the properties that interest you and point out features both positive and negative about the properties. Before you make an offer, you will know about visible defects of the property and an assessment of solutions available.
COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS: Is this the right price for this house? We can assist you with this question by conducting a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). We can compare similar houses that were recently sold in the vicinity to look at the fair market value in the area based on county tax record.
The image below is an example of a Comparative Market Analysis.
CONTRACTS: We will assist you with contractual issues so you are clear on the terms. The 10-page Residential Purchase Agreement or "Offer" can be an intimidating document.
ESCROW: We will assist you through the escrow process and introduce you to necessary service providers such as Physical Home Inspector, Termite Inspector, Title Insurance Provider, Escrow Companies and others.
LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP: Finally, we will be there after the completion of the transaction if you shall have further needs for assistance or introduction to service providers. We are not looking for a "One-Time Relationship" with our customers, but want an "On-Going Relationship" so you will call us when your next opportunity to sell or buy a home comes along.
