"Our special thanks to you for making what is such an important life event - buying our first home - a relatively painless experience. Your knowledge, willingness to listen and guidance all played critical poles during the stanges of this process. Above all else you've been, on a personal level, a joy to work with and for that it has been so much more than a simple transaction." "The welcoming bubbly - such a thoughtful gift - will be enjoyed when the day comes that we can look out from our new kitchen and say it was all worth it. Although we can say that already! The gift cards were such a needed touch and will help in our quest to make this condo our home!"

About Appraisals >The Language of Real Estate Agents
Technical terms can be confusing to people who do not work in a profession, and real estate agents use language that may be confusing to many home buyers and sellers.
If you find your eyes glazing over when your real estate agent starts talking about escrow, clear title, easements, encroachments, contingencies, financing, appraisals and the closing process, don't hesitate to ask for a translation. Buying or selling a home is a major step, and professional real estate agents are totally committed to helping you understand the process thoroughly so that you can make informed decisions.
The simple transaction of trading the sellers' house for the buyers' money has become complicated by several hundred years of custom, common law, and state and local government requirements. Consumer demands have resulted in up-to-date rules that communication be as clear and understandable as possible. Real estate agents work to create an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable to ask questions.
