Venice Insider Program — VIP Home Buyer Service + American Homes Shield Warranty

Young or old, first-time and seasoned buyers are always pondering: “How do I know I’m choosing the right home, in the right area, at the right price?” That’s exactly why we created the Venice Insider Program (VIP).

When you register with Venice Sandcastle Group, you become a VIP and receive our personalized Concierge Home Buying Service. From your first property search through closing—and long after you receive the keys—we’re here to help you make informed decisions every step of the way.

Our goal is simple: help you find the right home, in the right area, at the right price—with confidence, not guesswork.

That’s exactly why we created the Venice Insider Program (VIP). We help you understand the Venice area, identify homes that fit your lifestyle and budget, evaluate properties carefully, and negotiate with confidence.

Your VIP Buyers Home Search

1. Personalized MLS Searches

Your home search should be as individual as you are. We create 2–5 personalized MLS searches based on your lifestyle, preferred communities, property requirements, and budget. Instead of relying on one broad automated search, we fine-tune multiple searches to uncover properties you might otherwise overlook.

2. Personally Reviewed Properties

We don’t simply turn on an automated MLS search and fill your inbox with listings.

We personally review new and updated properties every day, helping filter out homes that don’t fit your needs and identifying the ones we believe deserve your attention.

When you have a question about a particular property, neighborhood, community, or HOA, just ask. We’re here to help you understand not only the house you’re considering, but what it may be like to live there.

3. Your Final Shopping List

When you’re ready to see homes in person, we review your favorites with you and narrow them down to create your final shopping list.

This gives us another opportunity to discuss the properties, answer your questions, and identify anything we should investigate before scheduling your tours.

4. Your Private Showing Schedule

Once we’ve selected the homes you want to see, we coordinate with the listing agents, arrange and confirm your private showing appointments, and organize your itinerary so you can spend your time evaluating homes—not juggling appointments and directions.

5. Your Property Listings Folder

We’ve found that well-informed buyers are much happier and more confident when they know all the variables. We work hard to get you as much useful information as possible before and during your home evaluation—not after you’ve fallen in love with it.

Depending on the property and what information is available, we may gather:

• MLS property information
• Property tax information
• Available insurance information
• HOA and community information
• Seller and property disclosures
• Community disclosures and documents
• Property, community, and neighborhood maps
• Other available information that may be relevant to your purchase

The more you know about a property, the better prepared you are to decide whether it deserves a place on your short list.

6. We Do Our Homework Before You Arrive

Before showing day, we contact the listing agent to discuss the property, ask questions, and inquire about any known concerns or issues that may warrant your attention. If there’s something you specifically want to know, we’ll ask about that too. We want you to walk into each home as a knowledgeable, well-informed buyer, ready to recognize both opportunities and potential concerns.

7. When You Find “The One”

Finding a home you love is exciting. It’s also when experienced guidance matters most. Before you make an offer, we help you evaluate the property, its location, recent comparable sales, current competition, market conditions, and other factors that may influence its value. You will be well informed to discuss price, terms, contingencies, and negotiation strategy before you sign an offer. Our goal isn’t simply to help you win the house. It’s to help you make an informed decision and negotiate the right home, in the right area, at the right price.

• Inspections
• Appraisal

• Surveys
• Repair issues
• Contractors
• Service providers
• Title companies
• Closing attorneys

We also review your closing documents with you before closing day so you can better understand what to expect before you sit down to sign.

From contract to closing, we’re there to help keep the details—and your transaction—on track.

We Take Care of You After the Sale

An American Home Warranty can provide additional protection against unexpected repair or replacement costs for covered home systems and appliances after you move in.

Depending on the AHS plan and its terms, benefits and coverage may include protection for eligible systems and appliances regardless of age, no requirement to provide maintenance records for covered items, and certain coverage for conditions such as undetectable pre-existing conditions, rust, corrosion, sediment, or improper installation.

Specific coverage, exclusions, service fees, limitations, and eligibility depend on the American Home Shield plan and contract selected. LEARN MORE

We provide the warranty for a simple reason: we want you to feel taken care of after you receive the keys, too.

Our relationship with you isn’t built around a single transaction. We want to be the people you can turn to whenever you need local knowledge, a trusted recommendation, or real estate advice.

From your first home search to closing day—and for years afterward—Venice Sandcastle Group will be here for you.
