This is a huge decision, whether you've done it before or are buying for the first time. Not only is buying Columbia County real estate a financial decision that deserves careful thought for your budget and lifestyle, it also includes time and consideration for details such as privacy, neighborhood, proximity to activities and commutes.
Buying a home is a huge commitment and because of this, Preferred Country Properties, established in 1988, has honed a process to assist our customers to the best of our abilities. We recommend having a conversation to assist you in determining your top 5 needs and wants in Columbia County real estate, whether that's size, privacy, or general area. We can then use this list to send you properties tailored specifically to you. We'll help you take a look at all of your options, and then guide you in the next steps, whether you're interested in anything from the waterfront in Copake to rolling hills of Hillsdale to the town of Chatham.
Whether you know what you want or need guidance, the first step is reaching out Preferred Country Properties as a knowledgeable guide for buying Columbia County real estate. We'll be happy to lay out a plan for your buying experience. Here are some of the questions we'll ask:
We can discuss the buying process: loan, making an offer, contract period, closing costs, current market conditions, review agency relationship, and we'll look through available listings in MLS with your search criteria and select the ones you’d like to see. We start with a long list of homes and properties in Columbia County real estate, and use them as guide posts to narrow your choices and remove those options that won't suit your needs. This is a much more thorough process, and uses a pyramid approach: wide selection at the bottom, building and narrowing choices until we reach the point at the top that is your perfect home.
