Buying with Diamond
Buying
We represent buyers of homes, land, vineyards and investment property, from a first home in town to acreage on a well and septic system. A purchase runs in five stages:
- Strategy: budget, timing and how much risk you’ll accept, such as a private well or a high fire-hazard zone.
- Search: current MLS listings in the towns that fit.
- Due diligence: well and septic reports, fire and flood zones, permit history, HOA documents. Get insurance quotes early; fire zone and roof age affect them.
- Offer: a price built from true comparables, with contingencies that protect you.
- Escrow: coordinating inspectors, the lender, title and insurance through closing.
