Buying
We can make buying a property a worthwhile experience.
First, we will assist you in deciding which location you may consider, along with the features that are important to you. We will also discuss how much you want to pay.
Next, we will research the through the latest Property Listings for properties that meet your criteria. We will also make convenient arrangements so that you can view the property in person. If you are not on Guam, then we can easily email you photos of the property along with its details.
We will determine in short while the price range you will most likely qualify for and try to acquire the best buy in that range.
Once you have decided on a property, a written offer is presented to the seller. At this time the offer is accepted, rejected or negotiated.
We will stay in contact with your mortgage broker and help you handle any questions that arise.
Finally you will sign for your loan and upon completion of all paperwork you will get the keys to your new home.
Renting
If you are not in the market to buy, you may consider to simply rent. We will find you the best rental options.
Decide which areas you might like to consider, what features you want in your home and how much do you want to pay.
Put down a security deposit and one month’s rent. The security deposit is equal to one month’s rent. The security deposit will take the apartment off the market until the application process is completed.
If you are approved, CONGRATULATIONS!!! We will then prepare a lease for your signature.
Finally, enjoy your new place.
Selling
Selling your property can be a challenge without expert advice. This is where we come in…We will guide you step-by-step along the way.
Once you decide to sell your home, determine the price that you will ask and the price that you will accept. (This can be the toughest decision you will make).
We will determine a realistic price to ask based on comparable sales in the area, condition of the property and general market conditions. This price should be as high as possible for the seller, but needs to be a realistic one.
Make improvements that make sense like a little paint and wall paper…these can go a long way toward getting you the best offer possible.
We will Market your home by putting a sign at your home, advertise in different media, field phone calls from prospective buyers and hold “open house” functions if you desire to do so.
Next, it will be the negotiating of your sale price. You will need to evaluate the various offers you will receive. You can choose to accept any of these offers, or simply reject them and perhaps submit a “counter offer”.
More so, you will need to prepare your home for closing. Now come inspections, mortgage approval for the buyer, appraisal and title search.
Once the closing is finalized you will receive a check and you must hand over the keys.

Investing
Real estate investing tips tend to be a bit vague, like “invest in the right location,” or “make sure the numbers work.” Actually, tips like these are important principles to remember. However, since they have been well represented in other articles, we want to share a few more specific tips with you.
Partnering. If you do a deal with partners, be the money or the management, but not both. Group decisions tend not to work well in real estate, and will cause you much stress. Once you decide on and agree to a plan, step back if you are investing the capital, and let your partner do his thing. Of course, step up and take control if you are managing the project.
Negotiating. Ask a seller outright, “What do you want to get out of this?” You can waste valuable time talking about things that don’t interest him or her. Once you get a clear answer, you can decide if you can give them what they want, and still get what you need.
Letting the market speak. As the cabinet guy looked to us for a decision, we realized that we knew nothing at all about which types of cabinets people like. We asked him which ones others were choosing, and he pointed to one that three quarters of his last forty customers had chosen. That’s the one we want, we told him. Why argue with the market you are trying to sell to?
Market comparables. The real estate agent would be able to show you comparable sales for properties that are more valuable. Do your own research.
Running the numbers. It is about the numbers, and if it is income property, it’s about one number in particular: cash flow. Whatever the local formulas are, whether gross rent multipliers or capitalization rates or whatever, just be sure that after every last expense you’ll have cash flow from the very first month.
Investing safely. Investing isn’t gambling. There is always risk, but the difference is that the odds are in your favor. If not, you are gambling. This why you shouldn’t invest based on continued price increases. There is no guarantee that prices will continue up at any particular rate. Do deals that work even if prices go nowhere, and if values go up, you’re that much better off. That’s why you should have a real estate agent by your side.
