Buyer Representation

Why Buyers Hire Us

At Leonardi Real Estate, we leverage our extensive industry experience to ensure our exclusive buyer-clients access the best properties and market insights available. Our comprehensive suite of services is designed to guide you through every step of the home-buying process.

Finding Your Home
While online listings are accessible to everyone, partnering with Leonardi Real Estate as an exclusive buyer opens the door to valuable insights beyond what’s available online. We offer in-depth information on neighborhood dynamics, property histories, and market trends that you won’t find elsewhere. Our agents also have the expertise to uncover hidden opportunities, such as “for sale by owner” properties, expired listings, upcoming listings, and even properties not currently being marketed. Essentially, our specialized knowledge and network provide access to unique opportunities that you might not discover through other channels.

Initial Buyer Consultation
We start with a needs assessment to discuss your preferences and goals, establishing criteria for your home search. We also conduct a financial review to help you understand your budget and connect you with mortgage lenders if needed.

Home Search
Our home search involves property matching through the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and other resources to find homes that meet your criteria. We leverage our local network to search for off-market listings not publicly listed and provide information about various neighborhoods, including amenities, schools, and local services.

Scheduling & Coordination
We arrange and accompany you to property viewings and coordinate visits to open houses or private tours.

Market Analysis
We provide a comparative market analysis (CMA) to give you detailed reports on comparable properties and gauge market value. Additionally, we offer insights into local market conditions and trends.

Offers, Counters & Negotiation
Our team develops a competitive offer based on market data and your budget. We handle offer preparation and submission, advise on responses to counters, and negotiate terms and conditions to secure the best outcome. We also draft and present counteroffers as necessary.

Contracts, Disclosures & Documentation
We review and explain contract terms, contingencies, timelines, deadlines, and disclosures. We manage all necessary documentation and ensure compliance with legal and disclosure requirements.

Professional Referrals
We connect you with mortgage brokers and lenders for financing options, recommend property-specific inspectors, and facilitate property appraisals to determine fair market value.

Inspections, Repairs, Appraisal & Transaction Coordination
We schedule and coordinate home inspections and appraisals, assist with resolving any issues from inspections or appraisals, and work with title companies and escrow agents to ensure a smooth transaction and on-time closing.

Closing Assistance
We conduct a final-walkthrough to ensure the property is in the agreed-upon condition and review closing documents to prepare you for the final steps of the purchase. On closing day, we stay in contact with the lender, title, and escrow teams to ensure all obligations are met.

Post-Purchase Support
We offer advice on moving, settling in, and accessing local resources. We also provide recommendations for home maintenance services and local contractors.

Ongoing Communication
Throughout the buying process, we keep you informed with regular updates and remain available to answer questions and address concerns both during and after the transaction.

Why Buyers Choose Us
Our invaluable expertise ensures a successful transaction, while our personalized service is tailored to meet your unique needs and preferences. We maintain constant communication to keep you informed and supported, answering all your questions promptly.

Leonardi Real Estate’s goal is to provide a seamless and supportive experience for buyers, ensuring they find the right home and navigate the buying process with confidence.
