Most Realtors do not want to see a seller during a showing. It is very uncomfortable and will many times kill a possible offer.

Once the purchase contract has been reviewed, we will prepare and send counter offer to buyer agent (if applicable).
After we look at the contract, we estimate your closing cost and email a break down of these costs.
