Choosing your real estate professional

Trust.

Find someone you can trust with one of your biggest assets. 93% of homeowners agree you should work with a real estate professional through this process.

Authority.

Look for an agent who can guide you through the complex buying process. Real estate agents are expert negotiators and seasoned transaction navigators.

Credibility.

Choose an agent with honesty, a proven track record, and reliable service. The best agent prioritizes your goals over their own.

Buyer's agency & real estate fees

A buyer's agent is legally obligated to advocate for your best interests throughout the purchasing process. With an experienced agent, identifying suitable properties, negotiating contracts, and closing the transaction becomes much smoother.

Following recent NAR rule changes, sellers are no longer required to offer fixed compensation to buyer agents. At Desert Real Estate Partners, we use our expert negotiation skills to have the seller credit you our fee.

Your Buyer Preparation Checklist

Before You Start Searching:

✓    Get fully pre-approved — not just pre-qualified — with a lender you trust

✓    Define your must-have vs. nice-to-have criteria clearly before touring

✓    Understand HOA fees and rules in your target communities

✓    Research Mello-Roos and special assessment status for properties of interest

✓    Review your target city’s current inventory and DOM data

 

When You Find the Right Property:

✓    Request a full CMA (comparable market analysis) before submitting any offer

✓    Review the listing history — price reductions and DOM tell a story

✓    Structure your offer to include concession requests strategically

✓    Plan your inspection period and identify trusted local inspectors in advance

✓    Have your lender ready to issue an updated pre-approval letter immediately

 

During Escrow:

✓    Complete all inspections promptly within the contingency period

✓    Review all HOA documents during your designated review period

✓    Stay in close communication with your lender to keep the loan on track

✓.   Schedule your final walk-through within 5 days of closing
