MLS Search

Many websites offer a MLS search.  These are great for looking for a home surfing around the cyber network.  However, you are limited to a ambiguous amount of information.  Most website searches don’t tell you how long properties have been on the market.  Some websites have expired, sold, and pending listings that show up as For Sale.

Oklahoma City has a very well put together MLS search for licensed Realtors that will allow searches to be set up in very specific ways.  These searches are programmed to eliminate listings from a clients preferences so that the client doesn’t have to wade through hundreds of homes that are not for them.

If you are looking for a home in the Oklahoma City area or anywhere else, contact a Realtor and ask them to set you a search up.  Continue to communicate with the Realtor and let them act as you Buying Agent or (Single Party Broker) until you get in your new home.

Your listing can be received in the form of a web site that allows you notification as soon as a property comes on the market.  It will also keep you current on properties as prices drop or go up.  It is very easy to call or email and ask your Realtor for more information or to see a property that interests you.  You also have the option to screen properties or add notes about a specific property as you see them.  You can categorize listings as your favorites, possibilities, or reject them.  Your Realtor can modify your search if your circumstances or wants have changed.

It makes it much easier and much more efficient than driving around and looking or trying to find a home yourself on a  conventional web site. 

A MLS search is a must if your relocating to another city and you have a limited amount of time or a long distance to drive.

We have shown many homes to clients in one day because of MLS searches are easily coordinated into showings by professional Realtors.  We have schedule many showings not had to show all of the homes because of the first homes was what our clients wanted. 

Feel free to contact me if you would like to know more about receiving a MLS search or have any questions about this simple home finding assistant.

What our clients say?

What our clients tell us is the only indicator of what they are thinking of our performance.  Sometimes we move forward with only experience and confidence guiding us.  Some prospects are very tight lipped and don’t have much to say.

I had to laugh the other day when an offer was written and the young buyer stated “If they don’t accept our offer, you don’t make any money”.  He was actually concerned about us getting our commission.  I loved it.  This person hit the nail on the head.  This couple found what they wanted, decided what it was worth, and knew they would either get the property, or their Realtor wouldn’t get paid.  I love logical clients.

So many potential buyers think that they will be charged a fee by a Buyer’s Agent in Oklahoma.  Although Oklahoma Realtors can charge a retainer for their services, I don’t know of any that do on a normal day to day basis.

It seams to me that more prospective home buyers are getting acquainted with the the home buying process.  The lenders are helping with credit issues and have some programs that can be beneficial to certain buyers for certain areas.

What our clients say is very important to us and by letting their guard down a little can help us to serve them more.  You don’t know if you don’t ask.  There are no bad questions.

So contact me if you have any questions.

Talking to Forbes about Oklahoma City

In a recent article, Forbes named Oklahoma City as the best place in the United States for Bargain retirement.  I felt very fortunate to speak to the writer and inform  Zack O'malley Greenburg who wrote the article about all the things that Oklahoma City has going for it. 
As we talked about the Oklahoma City Real estate market, I was a little hesitant, but as we got to the part that I like about Oklahoma City, I couldn't quit telling him about all the the things to do and sights to see.
I recalled that several years ago that Forbes placed Oklahoma City as one of the most recession proof Cities in the United States.  I feel with publicity like this and all the new things the metro area has to offer that it's only going to get better.
 Zack O'malley Greenburg had already reached his conclusion about Oklahoma City by crunching the numbers.  However, he was unaware of a lot of the new things that are going on.  For instance the new outlet mall under construction.  The maps 3 project, and the Devon Tower that is going to stand higher than most buildings this side of the Mississippi.  He was unaware of all the great health facilities that the Oklahoma City area has to offer.  To me, this is just icing on the cake of the interview.
Later, Yahoo re-posted the article by Forbes about Oklahoma City's status.  We started getting calls from other areas that Zack had compared home pricing with.  It seams a lot of the US didn't know how far a dollar will go here.
Dreams Do Come True, our web site was created with relocation in mind as well as for local people looking for homes.  We have been very successful helping families move here from other states.  The great thing about it is we have made new friends by doing what we do. We pride ourselves on keeping clients up to date on listings, inspections, and keeping things moving through the closing process.
If your thinking about relocating to the Oklahoma City area, feel free to contact us via email, or phone.  We want to help you with your transition and welcome you as a neighbor.  We love Oklahoma City, or we wouldn't live here.  Let us help you make your dream come true in Oklahoma City.
Sincerely,
Rick and Nancy Jackson

Possessing your new home

Possessing your new home.  Possession at the time of funding is written into many contracts to buy real estate.  In Oklahoma contracts there is always a blank to add the possession occurrence into.  Actual funding generally happens at the closing.  This is after you have done a final walk through of the home your purchasing and are satisfied with any repairs or other terms of the contract.
It’s got to be one of the greatest feelings you can have after all the signatures are completed and the keys and *garage door opener are turned over to you.
Now it’s your home to move into.  You have probably already figured out where the furniture is going. 
Congratulations. You have just completed a process that you might have been very nervous about when you called a Realtor.

I will be your showing assistant today in Oklahoma

I will be your showing assistant today.  We have a great inventory report in the Oklahoma neighborhoods and low interest rates to purchase with.  You have a lot of homes you want to see, so feel free to ask any questions as we take off.  I hope the search that was provided in the seat back in front of you has something in it that you will be interested in.
Don't worry, I won't make you buy anything.  I'm not the one that's going to live in it. Therefore you will have to make your own decisions to purchase a home.  I will welcome any questions you have that I'm qualified to answer as we go through the turbulent housing market.
Not every home on the Oklahoma City MLS is going to be as nice as it appears in the pictures so I appreciate your patients as we go through such properties .  When we find a home in the Oklahoma area that you really like, feel free to take as much time to look at it as you want. If we run out of time, we can always come back to the homes that appeals the most to you.  If you have question about a property that I can't answer, I will suggest specialist that you may contact to answer those questions for you.
Don't feel obligated to buy, because I have taken the time on a weekend or afternoon to show homes to you.  It is my job.  I show homes.  It's not a glamorous title, but it's part of the industry.  I want you to find  your dream home that will bring you comfort and happiness for years to come.  The main motive for my services is that someday when someone asks you how you found your lovely home, is that you will remember me.  I want you to remember me as non pushy, courteous, helpful, and even entertaining.  The only goal I have is to navigate you around until you find your dream home.  Once you have, I will put on my Oklahoma Buyer's Agent Cap and take you in for a landing.
Enjoy your ride,

Rick Jackson

Trulia Homes for sale are not always there

Trulia homes for sale are not always still active on the market.  It’s not Trulia’s fault, but it does cause some confusion to buyers.
I have been contacted by Trulia leads several times about homes in the last month, to find the property was already sold.
I recommend that anyone seriously  looking for a home, to work with a local Realtor in the area in which they are searching for property.  The Realtor can set up a search on Oklahoma’s Multi Listing System that will benefit the client in many ways.
The MLS system will immediately send the properties that are on the market to the interested buyer.  It will continue to do so for 180 days by default, and of course be extended as long desired.  You can opt out any time.
The MLS system also notifies the recipient each time there is a price change on a property, or pictures are added.  When you find a home, you can contact the Realtor that is assisting you and make arrangements to see the property or make an offer.
Today I researched 3 houses that a Trulia Lead was interested in, to find that they were all sold.
If your seriously looking for a home, contact a realtor today and have them set  you up a search on the local MLS service provider.  This is just one of the many ways a Realtor can serve you when it’s time for you to find a home.
Trulia offers some great information about areas, buying, selling, or statistics about homes.  It’s a great web site for those researching real estate.  However, when it comes time to make your move, I recommend you seek a professional pertaining to the type of service that you require.
Thank you for reading,
