How to Find the Right Home
Our agents start their search by first finding out what our client buyers needs are and what they can afford. Then our agents use their experience, contacts and market knowledge to focus on those homes that fit your wants and needs. Once they have a list of potential properties, they will handle all contacts with the sellers and arrange for a viewing.
Whether you are buying your first house or tenth, chances are you don’t physically look at houses on a daily basis. Your TBC agent is trained what to look for when viewing houses.

Submitting Your Offer and Negotiating Your Contract
This is where The Bolon Company, Ltd sets itself apart from all other real estate brokers. Once you have decided to submit an Offer on a home your TBC Team-Lead attorney will step in an draft your offer and negotiate all counter-offers to get you to a final agreed Purchase Contract. Your agent will work with you and your Team to advise you on the BEST OFFER PRICE to make. This offer price will be based on the current market value of the property as well as the agent’s own feel for what the sellers are likely to accept. If this offer is met with a counteroffer, then your legal counsel will negotiate on your behalf to help secure the best deal for you. If an agreement is reached, then a purchase contract will be signed and the buying process can begin.
A Network of Professionals to Get You to the Closing Table
The buying process requires the help of a number of professionals. The home is inspected by a professional licensed inspector for any damage or issues not obvious to the untrained eye that a buyer may have overlooked. You may need a radon inspection and/or mold experts to check for any additional problems with the property. Then there are the professionals you may need after the purchase such as contractors and architects if you’re planning on any renovations. Your TBC agent will have a list of reputable local experts that they can recommend you. They can then schedule these people and handle all communication and necessary documentation.
Escrow & Title
The final step is to close the transaction through the title company. Your TBC team will then coordinate with the title company, the mortgage company, the appraiser and others to complete the closing process. The title agent will process the final settlement statement, signing all the escrow, titles, and other important documents and to file all recordable documents (Deed, mortgage, Power of Attorney’s etc) at the county recorder’s office.
