Lamont Home Sales and Purchases, Explained as We Go

Most people buy or sell a home only a few times, which means the vocabulary, the paperwork and the order of events are unfamiliar almost every time. It is easy to feel that decisions are being made around you rather than by you. Real Estate Agent Lamont works with people selling and buying houses, condos and townhomes, and the guiding idea is simple: you should understand each step well enough to describe it to a friend. For sellers, that begins with a suggested price drawn from recent comparable sales, where we describe every adjustment and why it was made, followed by practical advice on which repairs and improvements are likely to matter to buyers. For buyers, it begins with a loan pre-approval and a conversation about what you need in a home, so the search stays focused. Once an offer is accepted, escrow brings a series of steps, each with its own deadline: the inspection, an appraisal, the lender's approval and the seller's disclosure packet. We explain what each one is for, what your options are if something comes up and when your decision is needed. Whether you are moving within Lamont or coming from Bakersfield or Arvin, nothing should be signed without being understood.
