• Mike has "virtual showing" software that lets you screen more houses, more quickly and with less effort.
  You'll get a better deal on a house and you'll be more happy with it if you are able to see a lot of properties. But looking at houses can be very time consuming.
   
  Mike solves this problem by utilizing technology to make your home search more efficient and less time consuming. He has special software that allows him to offer you "virtual showing sessions" that provide you with property descriptions, photos and maps (and even satellite photos when necessary) via an online source.
   
  At these sessions, you'll sit with Mike and screen large numbers of properties. By combining your personal likes and dislikes with Mike's knowledge of the market, neighborhoods, floor plans, etc., you'll come up with a more select list of properties to view in person with Mike.
   
  This is a vast improvement over the typically system where the agent just picks properties to show you or where you spend countless hours at a computer picking properties only to get out to the property and find out that is has some disqualifying problem like backing to a major street or having some undesirable floor plan feature.
   
  Bottom line -- you get the best of both worlds: You "see" lots of properties in less time and the properties you do take the time to see in person are more likely to meet your wants and needs.

• Mike sends you daily email notices of new listings.
  Desirable properties -- ones that are priced right or on special lots or in great condition -- sell quickly. It's important to know about these new listings right away so you have a chance to consider them. Mike has a system that allows him and you to enter your search criteria into an online system which will then notify you every day of new listings that match those criteria. You'll have a chance to see the property sooner and minimize the chance that someone else buys your dream home out from under you.

• Mike prepares a "11-Point Market Intelligence Report" on any house you want to buy to help you get a better deal.
  Once you find the house you want to buy, you'd like to know that your are getting the best deal possible on it. To accomplish that goal, Mike provides you with an "11-Point Market Intelligence Report" on a property before you make an offer on it. This report includes Mike's estimate of market value for the property along with other valuable negotiating information. Examples of items included in this report are:
  (1) The date the seller purchased the property.
  (2) How much the seller paid for the house.
  (3) How much the seller owes on the home.
  (4) How long the property been on the market.
  (5) Much more...
  Mike uses this information, along with your input on how much you like to property, to provide you with advice on how aggressive you can be in the price and contract negotiations. This process insures that you are buying the property at the best possible price and terms.
