Starting Your Search

Explore

Take a drive around the neighborhoods and communities that interest you to get a feel for the area, and browse listings online as well. When you find a property you like, contact your Tanaka Real Estate agent so they can schedule a showing. While touring homes, ask your agent about each property's long-term resale value.

Narrow Your Search

Talk with your agent about the type of property you want and establish your criteria together. How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need? Do you want a yard? Is there a specific school district you'd like to be zoned in? Sharing these details helps your agent focus on the properties that truly fit your needs.

It's Time to Buy

Your agent's negotiating skills become critical once you're ready to make an offer. Your Tanaka Real Estate agent will handle the necessary analysis to help you craft a strong, competitive offer, examining the potential costs and expenses tied to the property.

During negotiations, your agent will draft the purchase agreement, which includes details on home warranties, escrow arrangements, and title. Your agent will walk you through all protective contingencies, local regulations, and standard practices. While your agent provides expert guidance, the final decision on terms and price is always yours.
