Purchasing a home is one of the most important and biggest financial decisions you’ll make, and the right advice and guidance is paramount. Experience and expertise matter, and they can make a significant difference in making sure that you not only find the right house, but that you also pay the best price.
At The Lux Inc., we not only have a thorough understanding of the marketplace, we also have access to many properties that are off-market and an awareness of properties that are about to be listed. Most importantly, we are keenly aware of the nuances that determine value and we are discerning as to construction quality, materials, and craftsmanship. We will listen to your needs and find you the perfect home and we will make sure that you make an educated and informed decision. Once you choose a property we will represent your interest throughout the purchase process and negotiate the best possible purchase price. We will also advise you on how to improve the value of your house including furniture and design, and possible remodeling ideas. Our end goal is to create an enjoyable and successful home buying experience for you.

assessing your needs
Preparing to buy a home is multi-faceted. First, you must look carefully at your finances to determine if you’re in a position to pay cash or if you’ll need a loan. We will offer to arrange a pre-qualification or pre-approval appointment with a reputable lender/broker to identify your range of affordability (comfortability), discuss what mortgage products are available to you and to increase your negotiating strength.
We will provide a detailed Home Buying Guide & Homebuyers Questionnaire to define your homebuying needs and narrow down what is most important to you before starting the search. It’s an essential part of the preparation process.
Property Showing
We will present you with properties that meet your specifications (and with your permission we will show you some options you may not have thought about) and offer an unbiased view of each property with the most current and up to date market trends. We also have access to many exclusive listings that are not necessarily available to the general public that we can share to you if it meets your requirements. We will go through an in depth property evaluation to discuss the features of each property that may affect its value and future resale.
Making an offer
We found the right home … what’s next? At this time, we will provide you with a preliminary estimate of closing costs and down payment requirements anticipated in the transaction. We will then prepare a written offer with terms and conditions to protect your best interests and present your purchase offer directly to the seller, where appropriate, in the presence of the listing representative to position you as a “preferred buyer” in a competitive market. The right offer + the right deposit + the right conditions + our expert negotiating skills & experience will get you the right home at the right price. We will always negotiate the best possible price and value on your behalf.
Conditions & inspections
We will recommend & attend a professional property inspection we schedule from our list of knowledgeable inspectors to identify any construction issues of the home, including electrical, insulation and heating and review all inspection reports and other documents pertaining to the condition of the property and answer all questions regarding physical defects of the property which are known to us. We will monitor and inform you of the progress of the purchase agreement, including the satisfaction of all contingencies and conditions during the entire transaction. We will thoroughly review with you any seller’s written disclosure statements (if available) to enable you to accept or specify the remedy for each fault disclosed.
Closing
Congrats! The Sellers have accepted your offer. What’s next? Before closing, we will have opportunities to accompany you on the thorough walk-through of the property to ensure the condition of the property is essentially the same as when the offer was accepted and to verify that any required repairs have been completed. We will also assist you in dealing with any problems discovered during the walk-through.
after sale services
You are officially the new owner! We’ve closed your home but doesn’t mean we are done with our job. We’ll contact you after closing to follow up on any remaining details or service needs. We work with a number of businesses closely and can pass over to you discounts on products and services you may need to help you move into your new home.
