We realize that purchasing a home or investment property will probably be one of the larger investments you will make in your life time. Buying a home can always seem a little overwhelming -– especially if you reside hours away. But Sand Dollar Real Estate will make the whole process easier – every step of the way.
First, Let’s Determine What You Want
We will listen carefully to what you need and want in a property and offer you our knowledge of the marketplace so you can make the best decisions on style, location and price.
Second, Let’s Go House Hunting
We will provide you with detailed information on any property currently listed for sale—whether listed by Sand Dollar Real Estate or another real estate company that we think may be of interest to you.
We will arrange showing appointments at your convenience.
We will take you out as long as necessary for you to find the perfect beach house.
Getting to Settlement
Once you have selected the property, we can help you with all the details, from offer & negotiation through closing and beyond. We can also suggest legal counsel, home inspectors, mortgage representatives, etc. We will guide and help you throughout the entire process.
SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT
You may be thinking, “I don’t know what I want”. That’s OK. Here are some questions that may help you formulate what you are looking for and certainly will help us guide you to the best properties for your needs.
- How much money do I wish to invest in a home on Long Beach Island? How much money am I comfortable putting down and paying towards monthly carrying costs?
- How often will I use the home? Only during the summer and/or year round on the weekends?
- Will it be for investment or strictly for personal use, or a combination?
- If for investment, am I comfortable being a Landlord/lady?
- What towns on the Island appeal to me and which location on the Island, such as Oceanside or Bayside?
- How long will I keep the home? Do I think I might trade up in a few years? Or eventually retire to LBI?
- What type of home do I desire? Number of bedrooms, baths, style, size or condition?
- Am I handy and willing to put some ‘sweat equity’ into the property or do I want a ‘turn key’ property ready to move in?
These are just a few of the areas we suggest you give some thought. We know you will not have all the answers, but the more answers you can nail down the better we can do our job in assisting you in finding that perfect Summer Getaway.
We at Sand Dollar Real Estate realize you work hard and your time is precious. Finding a home on LBI should be both a ‘fun day at the beach’ and a productive use of your time. We promise to help you accomplish both.
