Our agents are experts with homes. Buying a lakeshore home is a complicated purchase with many areas of concern and items that need to be researched and addressed. For Example, lake shore rules from the DNR need to be adhered to in regards to any lakeshore improvements and also with improvements on your house. Also, rules are different in regards to septic systems and wells.

Our agent will gladly - and for free - setup showings and represent you during the buying process. Below is our recommended buyer’s process. You are under no time line or pressure to the below process.

Buying Process

Step 1 - Search for Properties.

There are two ways to search for properties. Virtually all listings from all brokers are available for us to view thru the MLS.

The first method for searching for properties is simple and easy. Simply, let us know what type of property you are looking for, and we will e-mail current active listings that meet your requirements. You can then select which units you want to look at, and we will setup the showings.

The second method to search for properties is to search our web site online (we have virtually all listings from all brokers to search and find properties). Click here to search online. Or call 612-735-0553

Step 2 - Review Financing

Before we setup showings we can have a lender contact you about current available financing options and to get you pre approved for free. Click here for a free financing approval or any questions.

Step 3 - Buyer Representation

Keep in mind our agent will show homes and represent you for any transaction.

In virtually all transactions the buyer does not pay the commission. The buyer’s agent is compensated by the seller’s broker who pays the buyers agent broker only upon a successful closing.

When the agent and buyer are scheduling an appointment to look for property the state of Minnesota requires agents to explain representation and to have the buyer agree to buyer’s representation.

Don’t be afraid of the buyer’s representation agreement. We allow our buyer’s the option to cancel the buyer representation agreement prior to any accepted purchase agreement. Contact us for any questions.

Step 4 - View Homes and Make a Contingent Offer

This is where the fun begins! We’ll schedule showings and view properties that meet your criteria. Don’t be surprised if you find a home you like the first time out. Most people find a home, and they make an offer on the first day. In actuality, you have reviewed 100’s of homes. You have searched the internet, view many homes on line, narrowed your criteria list and scheduled to view the best of the best. How can the best home for you not be on your first day of looking?

Once you have selected the best home for you, we then submit an offer. Don’t be nervous. We will put contingencies in the offer so if you discover something you do not like we can cancel the purchase agreement. Some of the contingencies are as follows: your financing, your inspectors report, your review and accepting association documents, etc.

After your offer is accepted, we then work to remove all contingencies, finalize financing, etc. You will then hire an inspector to inspect your home for any problems.

We may make a few offers, and then one will get accepted and we'll proceed to closing in 30-60 days. Throughout the process we are there to assist you with such things as title insurance, appraisals, inspections, surveys, property taxes, financing, etc.. We do everything in our power to get you into your dream property as smoothly as possible.
