Buy Smart

BuySMART: Becoming an empowered homebuyer.

Realtors always want to know what kind of a house you are looking for and where – and, of course, your price range. As soon as they know those things, you basically get thrown into a car and led on wild goose chase. 

BuySMART is about you having in-depth knowledge about: your own big picture, your own true budget, what resources are available to you, how banks work, what makes a good home, what all the lingo really means. 

You become an active and educated partner in the process, working in collaboration with The Dailey Group in the search for your home. Rather than a passive passenger on a wild and unproductive ride.

Here’s what BuySMART looks like in action:

Laying the Foundation 

The Dailey Group will:

• Illustrate the basics of creating a financial plan for buying
• Help you develop a budget for buying 
• Shine the light on why banks lend more than you should borrow
• Teach you about tax credits and tax benefits
• Explore the importance of long-term planning in relation to home buying
• Provide information about available grants

Ensuring a Good Deal

The Dailey Group will show you how to find the best deal and how to negotiate it by:

• Explaining how to find a good house AND a motivated seller
• Exploring your next best alternative
• Defining List Price vs. Sales Price
• Performing List Price vs. Sales Price analysis
• Discussing typical buying patterns
• Advising on negotiation 

Using Technology to Shop Smart

The Dailey Group will show you how to use the following to shop smarter:

• Listingbook & Auto Search Tools to make the process easier

Getting Home

When you’ve find the home you want to buy, The Dailey Group will:

• Explain the difference between a house's assessed value and appraised value
• Ensure you get a good inspection
• Make certain your decision considers the fact that your about-to-be purchase is part asset, part home
