Before We Get Started: Financing

The most important thing for you to do before beginning your new home search is to select and meet with a mortgage lender. We are more than happy to connect you with a few of our favorite lenders if needed. It is important to do this before we begin our search for several reasons:

1. It allows you to determine how much your monthly payment will be.

2. It helps us to determine what price range we should stay within.

3. It gives you an estimate of how much money you will need to have for the down payment and closing costs.

4. After answering just a few questions, the lender can provide us with the prequalification letter
necessary to book appointments to see the homes you wish to tour in person!

Your Exclusive Buyer Agent

There are three ways in which you can be represented during the purchase of a new home.

Why do people often choose the worst form of representation? Usually because of misinformation about the home buying process. Our goal is to be your Exclusive Buyer Agent and to assist you in making well-educated and informed decisions throughout the home buying process. You can be represented in a real estate transaction in the following ways:

The listing agent has a written agreement to manage the sale of the seller’s home and their sole fiduciary duty is to the seller. Some buyers don’t realize that they should have their own representative that is looking out for their best interests. But what MOST buyers don’t realize is that even if another agent other than the listing agent shows you homes without being in a WRITTEN buyer representation agreement with you, by law they are still acting as a subagent to the seller and NOT YOU! In this situation, the agent must disclose to the Seller any material information they have been told by you, which robs you of negotiation power and leverage on the price and condition of the home.

This is how a buyer is represented when they have entered into a written buyer representation agreement with their Exclusive Buyer Agent. In this situation, the agent must act only as to best interests of the Buyer, keep all the Buyer’s material information confidential and must provide the Buyer with any material information they have about the Seller.

If the home you buy is listed with an Elite Realtor, then we, as your Buyer’s agent, will still be bound by the duty of confidentiality and will not disclose any of your information to the seller or the seller’s agent.

The Elite Real Estate Group councils its sellers to have their homes in the best condition possible and our marketing and make-ready process is without equal in the industry. As a result, it is common for our Buyers to learn about these great properties before they even hit the market resulting in a sale and creating a win-win for both parties!

An Intermediary Relationship is defined as: when one Brokerage represents both parties in a transaction and assigns individual agents to represent each party exclusively so as to ensure an arms-length transaction and preserve confidentiality. Each party of the transaction will acknowledge this relationship in writing.

Buying with Us

We can represent you in every buying situation. We will evaluate your home buying needs in our first meeting with you and will then be better prepared to assist you in your home buying search. We are highly skilled in locating the ideal home for you, whether it’s an existing home, a “for sale by owner,” short sale, foreclosure or even brand new construction!

Existing Homes

Once we know your wants and needs based on our initial consultation, we spend time previewing properties that meet your criteria. We can show you homes listed by any brokerage in the Austin area, and we we know the Austin inventory better than any firm in the business.

By previewing properties first, we are able to look at several homes in the time it would take both of us to view just one. Other agents may waste your valuable time showing you homes that don’t meet your needs. Instead, we narrow the list with you and show you only the homes that meet your criteria. The bottom line is we save and honor your valuable time. This also results in our clients successfully putting in their offer and acquiring the best property for them, while the competition is still driving in circles!

For Sale by Owner

Despite the many advantages of hiring a qualified brokerage to handle a home sale, we still run across homeowners who wish to sell their home themselves. In fact, many of our listings are people who have tried unsuccessfully to sell their own homes. Because we always seek to give our clients the competitive edge, we maintain awareness of all for sale by owner properties in the Austin area; and will be happy to arrange a showing for you. In this transaction, you will continue to be represented by us with our buyer’s representation agreement. It is the seller who loses, as they complete the transaction with no professional representation.

Default Image

New Builder Construction

Many Buyers are not aware that the often very friendly salespeople at a new construction sales center/model home work for the builder, and do not represent the Buyer at all during the building process. In fact, most builder salespeople are not even licensed Realtors®. We have extensive knowledge of area builder reputations, floor plans, and lots, as well as schools, neighborhoods, and amenities. As your Exclusive Buyer Agent, we will negotiate the purchase price on your behalf with the builder and assist you in selecting upgrades. We will work throughout the transaction to ensure everything goes smoothly; and be there to advocate for you in the event things are not provided as promised.

Bank Foreclosures and Short Sales

A Bank foreclosure occurs when the former owner ceases making payments and the Bank reclaims the property and then offers it for sale to recoup the monies loaned for the home purchase. A short sale, in contrast, is when the former owner approaches their bank, informs them that the current market value is not high enough to wipe out what they owe, and negotiates (often through a REALTOR®) that the bank will retire the loan for less than what the borrower owes. Many consumers are under the impression that a foreclosure or short sale will provide them with the best deal possible. This is not always the case, as often a property that has a stronger equity position will have the ability to negotiate more. When it is the best deal, however, we can assist you successfully through this often complex and sometimes lengthy process.

"We had our condo on the market with another Realtor before, but after months of no success, we decided to switch to Jordan and Melanie Suber with eXp Realty after they reached out to us. It was the best decision we made! We were immediately impressed with their energy and enthusiasm. They really seemed to know their business. They sold our condo while two others in the same community were still sitting on the market. Their expertise, attention to detail, and proactive approach truly set them apart. They also were diligent in communicating with us and keeping us updated on open houses, sales trends, etc. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a real estate team that gets results!"

"Finding the right real estate professionals can be a game-changer, and that's exactly what happened when we connected with Jordan and Melanie Suber from eXp Realty - The Elite Real Estate Group. After a disappointing stint with another agent who had our property stuck on the market for months, we were close to giving up hope. We'd even watched our ideal home slip through our fingers due to our unsold house. The Suber's changed our experience from day one. Their innovative marketing strategies launched our listing into the spotlight. The results were amazing and our home, previously stuck in limbo, was suddenly a hot commodity. For that, we are forever grateful. Jordan and Melanie's expertise didn't stop at selling our property though. They became our champions in securing our perfect home, demonstrating remarkable negotiation capabilities that resulted in over $20,000 in savings! Their meticulous attention to detail ensured our new residence met every expectation before we signed on the dotted line. Looking back, our only wish is that we had listed Jordan and Melanie's services from the start. Our family members had even just used them with the same amazing results! So for anyone seeking real estate professionals who consistently surpass expectations and deliver exceptional results, we can't recommend the Suber's enough. They don't just assist in buying or selling homes - they create life-changing real estate experiences in what is otherwise a very tough market."
