Home buyers in Southwest Florida have a myriad of choices in price, design, amenities and location. From Fort Myers and Cape Coral to Estero and Bonita Springs and southward through Naples, buyers are looking for value and the satisfaction that comes with selecting the property that best meets their desires, lifestyle and budget. When it comes to representing buyers and assisting them with meeting their goals, one local agent stands out from the rest. Jim Barbour takes great pride in providing the highest level of service from the initial search through closing.
Jim’s promise to buyers:
The Search: As a home or condominium buyer, you can be guaranteed that you will always see every property that meets your parameters. You will never be steered to a specific listing, development or community. Jim not only has numerous resources available to find the home you are looking for, but he also has a wealth of personal knowledge about the local real estate market. When a home that meets your search criteria is listed for sale, you’ll be the first to know. On many occasions, Jim’s clients are the first to view a new listing and often the first to make an offer and have it accepted.
The Offer: Jim will research recent closed sales, existing active listings, notable home features and current market trends, combining that with any information that can be discerned regarding the seller’s motivation, and provide you with a very accurate indication of an anticipated purchase price. In addition, he will explain other contractual elements that may increase the likelihood of seller acceptance. Every seller is different, and if you desire to purchase a distressed home, Jim has extensive experience with bank, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD owned properties. Jim is a highly skilled negotiator and will always use your instructions and work in your best interest.
Other Financial Considerations: You will always have the latest property tax information, condo/H.O.A. fees and club membership requirements for every home that interests you. You will also be provided with all condo/H.O.A. documents, including rules and regulations, deed restrictions and a current budget. In addition, Jim will assist you with securing homeowners insurance premium quotes and determining which specific flood zone a property is located within. Jim has relationships with lenders, title companies, home inspectors and contractors if the need arises. Jim never charges a fee for his services. His compensation is pre-determined when the property is listed and paid by the seller at closing.
Closing Day and Beyond: Jim will review your closing documents and fully explain the process. He will accompany you on your final walkthrough and assist you at the closing table. After the sale, Jim will always be just a phone call away ready to answer any questions that may arise, helping with directions or even recommending a good restaurant or business as you come to enjoy all that living in Southwest Florida has to offer.
