Chattanooga, the 4th largest city in the state, is located in Southeast Tennessee near the border of Georgia atthe junction of the four interstate highways. The city has received national recognition for the renaissance of itsbeautiful downtown and redevelopment of its riverfront. The city boasts the most productive affordable housingprogram in the nation, and is notable for leveraging development funds through effective public/privatepartnerships, with significant civic involvement on the part of private foundations. Chattanooga was one of thefirst US cities to effectively use a citizen visioning process to set specific long-range goals to enrich the lives ofresidents and visitors.
The Chattanooga Convention and Trade Center is solidly booked by groups who return to the city year after yearfor a good time and a great facility that has recently been expanded. Public entities and private citizens workedtogether to build the 20,000 seat Max Finley Stadium completed in 1998. The city and county have developedan extensive greenway system which includes 5 miles of constructed riverwalk beginning downtown andmeandering through the historic art district and several parks. The city supports a downtown shuttle fleet of zero-emission electric buses-manufactured here is Chattanooga-for commuters and visitors wishing to park-and-ride.
Attractions such as the Tennessee Aquarium, Lookout Mountain, Civil War battlefield sites, the AfricanAmerican Museum, and the Appalachian Trail bring thousands of people to the area, as do events like theRiverbend Festival, Bessie Smith Strut, Fall Color Cruise, the Creative Discovery Museum for children, and theSouthern Writers Conference. Chattanooga is the home of NCAA Division I-AA national football championshipsand hosts the national softball championships every year.
People who love the out-of-doors use Chattanooga as a base for hang-gliding, bass fishing, mountain climbingand caving expeditions; the verdant Smoky Mountains and Tennessee River watershed support the greatestvariety of flora of any area in the United States.
The local economy includes a diversified mix of manufacturing and service industries, four colleges, and severalpreparatory schools known throughout the South. "Sustainability" is a key concept for industry and governmentworking together for enlightened development.
With its scenic beauty, stable population and economy, civic vitality and cross-sector partnerships, fiscalintegrity, and strategic location, Chattanooga enters the 21st century as one of the most progressive and livablemid-size cities in the US. In the decade the city has won 3 national awards for outstanding "livability", and 9Gunther Blue Ribbon Awards for excellence in housing and consolidated planning.

Funding your home purchase
1. Financial pre-qualification or pre-approvalApplication & InterviewBuyer provides pertinent documentation, including verification of employmentCredit report is requiredAppraisal scheduled for current home owned, if any
2. UnderwritingLoan package is submitted to underwriter for approval
3. Loan ApprovalParties are notified of approvalLoan documents are completed and sent to title
4. Title CompanyTitle exam, insurance and title survey conductedBorrowers come in for final signatures
5. FundingLender reviews the loan packageFunds are transferred by wire
Why pre-approval?
We recommend you get pre-approved by a reputable lender before beginning your homesearch. Knowing exactly how much you can comfortably spend on a home reduces thepotential frustration of looking at homes beyond your means. It also may give you anadvantage against another buyer making an offer - it let's the seller know that they won't endurethe "waiting game" while a lender does the legwork to get financing for the other buyer.

Once you have found the property you want, we will write a purchase agreement. While much of the agreementis standard, there are a few areas that we can negotiate:
The Price
What you offer on a property depends on a number of factors, including its condition, length of time onthe market, buyer activity, and the urgency of the seller. While some buyers want to make a very lowoffer, just to see if the seller will accept, this often isn't a smart choice because the seller may beinsulted and decide not to negotiate at all.
The Move-in Date
If you can be flexible on the possession date, the seller will be more apt to choose your offer overothers.
Additional Property
Often the seller plans on leaving major appliances in the home, however, which items stay or go is oftena matter of negotiation.
Typically you will not be present at the offer presentation; I will present it to the listing agent and/or seller. Theseller will then do one of the following:
• Accept the offer• Reject the offer• Counter the offer with changes
By far the most common is the counter offer. In these cases, my negotiating skills become powerful inrepresenting your best interests.
When a counter offer is presented, you and I will work together to review each specific area of the counter offer,making sure that we move forward with your goals in mind and ensuring that we negotiate the best possibleprice.

Prepare for it
Closing day marks the end of your home buying process and the beginning of your new life! To make sure yourclosing goes smoothly, you should bring the following:
• A certified check for closing costs and down payment.• Photo IDs• Social security numbers
Own it
Transfer of title moves ownership of the property from the seller to you. The two events that make this happenare:
Delivery of the buyers fundsThis is the check or wire funds provided by your lender in the amount of the loan
Delivery of the deedA deed is the document that transfers ownership of real estate. The deed names the seller and buyer,gives a legal description of the property, and contains the notarized signatures of the seller andwitnesses.
At the end of closing, the deed will be taken and recorded at the county clerk's office. It will be sent to you afterprocessing.

How does for sale by owner (FSBO) work?
Homeowners trying to sell their home without agent representation are usually doing so in the hopes of savingthe commission. If you see a FSBO and want the advantages of my services, let me contact the owner for youand make an appointment. Most times the homeowner will work with an agent, even though their home is notlisted, since the agent is introducing a potential buyer to their property.
Can we go back through our property again once an offer is made, but beforepossession?
Usually we can notify the seller and schedule a convenient time to visit the property again. Immediately beforethe closing, we will schedule a final walk-through and inspection of your new home.
Once my offer is accepted, what should I do?
Celebrate and focus on moving into your new home! You will want to schedule your move, pack items, andnotify businesses of your address change. I will provide you with a moving checklist to help you remember allthe details.
