Relocating to the Pennsylvania or Pittsburgh area
Moving to a new city is overwhelming by itself, without adding the daunting task of searching for a home in addition to finding the right Realtor. At Hanley Agency, Inc., I understand this, and I am an expert in relocation. I have a long history of finding buyers the right home by following a refined process guaranteed to make the most of your search efforts.
When most buyers go into home search mode - they may wind up with 50+ listings to view. It should go without saying that's too many homes to see first hand if you're on a short visit from out of town! I can help you to narrow your search down to 20-25 properties, with these tips in mind:
- Before coming into town, arrange your needs into one list. Then list your wants in another. If a home comes up short on your must-haves, it's one less house to look at.
- Have a set price range. This could be based on loan pre-approval or a safe estimate of how much you'll get from the sale of your present home.
- What length of a commute are you willing to make each day to work and other activities? Traffic in the Pittsburgh area could be different than your current location, so let me know your expected drive-time, and I'll locate homes within that radius.
I can send you my top recommendations prior to your arrival. Or if you've already started your search, let me know what you've found. While seeing listing photos on the web is invaluable, there's nothing like walking through homes in person. I can schedule any necessary appointments with other Realtors or homeowners and map a route. We could tour up to 8 or 10 homes in a single day if we work efficiently.
