First Team Real Estate developed a program about six months ago that is changing the way buyers are searching for their next purchase.

HOT BUYS is a designation given to houses and condos that are in "alignment". These are the hottest deals available on the current market. These are the deals that can't be passed up if you are in the market for purchasing your first home or your next home.

Alignment is where the everything is lined up to create the best value. It includes: price, location, condition, and commission. These properties are selling in an average of 11 days, that's right 11 days.

I am a certified HOT BUYS specialist. If you are looking for your next purchase, I can help you locate these properties. If you are thinking about selling, contact me and I can provide you with a MAXIMUM HOME VALUE AUDIT, to see if your home will qualify for this designation.
