How The Katz
Group Can Help You Find a Home
Your
Katz Group agent possesses a large pool of knowledge and resources in the
search for your perfect home. There
are numerous avenues that an agent can take in finding properties currently
available on the market and potentially available to you, but not yet listed.
It is the dedication and commitment of your agent that will determine
how thorough and comprehensive this search will be.
We have defined our search activities in order to highlight the extent of
your Katz Group agent’s commitment to you and to demonstrate the value we place
on helping you find the home that offers you the best value and most closely
fits your needs and lifestyle.
As a broad outline, you can expect
your Katz Group agent to:
-
Pursue
any and all avenues with regard to available properties that might fit
your needs.
-
Preview
properties that sound like they might be suitable so that your time is
spent looking at real opportunities.
-
Keep
you informed on a daily basis, as to the results of our searches and
inquiries.
-
Ensure
that you are amongst the first to see newly-available properties and have the option to purchase
prospective homes.
How We Search
for Your New Home - The
Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service
The
Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service ("MLS") is an online database of properties for sale in
Maricopa County. Licensed Realtors
can access MLS to search for new and existing listings.
Most homes listed with a Realtor will appear on the MLS.
Upon acquiring a new
listing, the agent will enter it onto the system, hence making it available for
all other agents who subscribe to the service to view.
The MLS is a key tool used in our search for property
that meets your needs and we will check it twice daily (using your specific
criteria). This means that as soon
as a listing becomes generally available, we will find it and make it available
for you to view.
Realtor
Networks
Each
of The Katz Group agents specializes in one area of the valley.
This has enabled us to build strong working relationships with
other Realtors who also work predominantly in our chosen areas.
Many listings are networked and discussed within the real estate
community before coming onto the market and your agent's involvement in the
area in which you are looking is crucial. Our
reputation for bringing well-qualified and legitimate buyers and steering them
through to successful closings makes other agents enthusiastic about working with
us and about informing us of properties that they will have available at some future
date.
Neighborhood
Networks
As an Area
Specialist, your Katz Group agent has established himself/herself with
regard to selling homes and working
with the residents of the neighborhoods in which you are searching.
This means that we meet often several times the neighbors at our open houses
and the homeowners
become familiar with our signs and our marketing. In effect, we become part of
the communities in which we work. As
such we each have a significant portfolio of homes which are not being actively
marketed but are passively available in our chosen areas and this is of obvious
benefit to you as a buyer. Also the
residents are familiar with the quality of our work and likely to favor an offer
made by one of us in a competitive situation.
The Internet
The
Internet is playing an ever-increasing role in the searches we conduct for our
buyers. As a buyer, you can browse
the Internet and find information on the amenities, schools, home values and much more for
your chosen area. As a buyer’s
agent, we mainly use the Internet to gather information and pictures of listings
we are already aware of and send them to you via e-mail.
It is important to note that the information on the internet is not as
current, or as comprehensive, as the information available to your agent on the
Multiple Listing Service. As such, we use it to supplement our search and do not
rely on it to find you a home.
