Once a candidate has accepted the position, the house hunting trip is planned. Our task is to make ourselves completely available to the candidate when they are here, and to make the very most of their visit. Obviously this includes seeing homes that meet their criteria, but often it is much more. Being an ambassador is a critical role that we play to the candidate and their family. Focusing on the needs of the whole family is vital to a successful move. Our experience, knowledge and resources play a key role in transitioning the candidate from their current home to the Peoria area.

Schedule the house hunt

Get complete information about where they are staying, when they are arriving, if they are bringing children, their expectations of the time they are here, exact criteria for their home search and if there are any additional things they will need to see while they are here.

Prior to the candidates arrival

Communicate with the buyer via email, phone, or overnight packet, homes that meet criteria they have set forth. Make sure that information is complete, and current, so that their time here is well spent.

Have a firm game plan

Arrange all showings in a concise manor so that the day flows, and time is well spent. Make sure that all homes are included in the tour that they have identified prior to their arrival.

Arrange showing schedule

Allow for lunch and a re-group so that there is time to talk about what they have seen, and their feelings. Be an advocate for the buyer so they understand our market and what we have to offer.

Complete all necessary contracts

Introduce buyer to local lenders, if necessary, as well as key people for homeowners insurance and all necessary home inspections.

Acting as an ambassador to the buyer and their family

By introducing them to the Peoria area, to neighbors, key community people, churches if applicable, daycare, babysitters, or any resource necessary, families tend to transition easier.
