There are numerous agents to choose from when deciding to purchase a home.  Time and money (and your sanity) are all at stake.  Invest some time now into researching what an agent can offer you in your search for the perfect property.  Let us show you why choosing Greg and Michelle Steffens to represent you makes sense:  GREG IS A  FULL-TIME AGENT - This is his full-time career, not just a hobby or something he does "for a little extra spending money."  You will find that many agents on the mountain work part-time or just enough to augment their retirements.  Hire an agent that will work hard, full-time, for you. GREG IS A REALTOR® , not just a real estate agent.  Click here to learn about the differences.  He belongs to the California Association of Realtors® and the National Association of Realtors® and is bound to a code of ethics and higher standards of business excellence and professionalism. GREG RESEARCHES  LISTINGS to provide you with information from the county record, a map, previous sale information, how many days it has been on the market, price reductions, etc. GREG SHOWS ALL LISTINGS, not just our own company´s.  Rest assured that you are seeing everything that is available.  Don´t be limited in your choices because your agent won´t show you certain houses. WE KNOW THE AREA - We live full-time in the areas we represent and can offer you a unique and personal point of view.  Not only do we know our way around on the local roads, we know each area and their individual pros and cons. MOUNTAIN WEST FINANCIAL - The lender you choose to work with in the purchase of your home is extremely important - it can actually mean the difference between getting your home or not. Please visit our in-home lender's website by clicking here to learn more about the loan process.  You can also read Tom Crate's informative and educational monthly newsletter by clicking here.  Know what you can afford and what types of loans you qualify for even before you start to look at properties.  Same-day prequalification is usually possible.  ONLINE ESCROW FILE - Once you find the property you love and have an accepted offer, you can access your personal file on our website (protected by username and password) for information about your transaction and an up-to-date progress report. TRANSACTION COORDINATOR - We maintain a transaction coordinator to manage all the necessary forms, signatures, reports, etcetera that are required for a successful, organized escrow.  There is nothing more frustrating than having a file that is not properly maintained.  We make sure that everything is handled in an orderly, timely and thorough manner for you.
