Buying a home in Country Club Village

Get ready first, see what your budget buys in each town, and have a licensed contractor look at every house you're serious about.

What buying in Country Club Village looks like

Buying a home in Country Club Village means comfortable, established homes on residential streets near the Santa Maria Country Club, Waller Park, and Highway 101.

Established homes have had decades to settle, and two that started out alike may be very different today. I check the foundation, roof, and systems before you're locked in, so you know which one you're really buying.

The house you lose is the one you weren't ready for

Good homes don't wait. The buyer who gets the house is usually the one who was ready to write an offer the day it came on the market: pre-approved, clear on what they want, and working with an agent who already knew the area.

So we start with ready. I'll connect you with licensed lenders I trust, and you choose who you work with. A lender can tell you what you can borrow and what programs might fit. Then we go over our written agreement, the buyer representation agreement, line by line, so you know exactly how I work for you. See how getting ready works.

A contractor's eye on every serious house

Most agents see bedrooms and bathrooms. I see what the house is going to cost you. On any home you're serious about, I look at it as a licensed general contractor: the roof, the foundation, the plumbing, the electrical. On one home, I caught a $15,000 foundation problem before my clients were locked into a contract.

That never replaces a professional home inspection and pest report. I always recommend both. What it does is tell you early, before you've spent money or fallen in love, whether a house is worth chasing.

From offer to keys

When you find the one, we write an offer built on what the home is really worth and what it needs, not on hope. Your earnest money goes straight to escrow, usually within three to five days. Then comes the inspection period, usually 17 days, when you can inspect, ask questions, and negotiate repairs. I read every inspection report as a contractor and tell you what a repair should actually cost.

Escrow and title handle the closing. I keep everything on schedule and you informed every step of the way, until you have the keys. Read the full buying plan.
