Concierge Home Buying Services by Bill Garrison | RE/MAX Hall of Fame

Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, you are likely asking yourself the same critical questions: “How do I know I’m choosing the right home, in the right neighborhood, at the right price?” That is exactly why we created the Venice Insider Plan (VIP). When you register with the Venice Sandcastle Group, you instantly unlock a personalized Concierge Home Buying Service. From your very first property search to closing day—and long after you get the keys—we remove the guesswork so you can buy your next Florida home with absolute confidence.

1. Your VIP Buyers Home Search

“There’s no such thing as a $5 error in real estate!” Let professionals evaluate your properties and set up your showing list. We look at many factors beyond what you can see in an MLS listing. 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, filter out homes that don’t fit your needs, and identify 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.

From Contract to Closing

Experience matters! 1,000 issues can blow up your closing, and we have navigated them all! We also review your closing documents with you before closing day so you know what to expect when you sit down to sign. From contract to closing, we’re there to help keep the details—and your transaction—on track. Once your offer is accepted, your VIP service doesn’t stop—it shifts into the next phase. We guide and coordinate the many details that can arise between contract and closing, including:

• Inspections
• Appraisal
• Lenders
• Seller Issues
• Probate Estates
• County
• Financing
• HOAs
• Utilities
• Property Managers
• Surveys
• Repair issues
• Contractors
• Service providers
• Title companies
• Closing attorneys
