Why should you pick the “Padre Elite Team” to find your perfect property? They are the #1 team on South Padre Island (SPI) but these are the reasons we think we are the right choice for you:
Representation …The Padre Elite Team believes in representing only one client…..you. We will not represent both sides of a transaction as we feel it is a conflict of interest.
Negotiations …Because of our years of experience in real estate, we feel our ability to help you in the negotiation process is superior to trying to “wing” it on your own. We hold a CPN certification, “Certified Professional Negotiators.” These skills are important not only in securing the best price for your property but also for working the contract from the offer through closing. There are many items to negotiate such as price, repairs, closing date, possession, seller’s net proceeds, etc.
Critique All Documents …Real Estate in Texas is constantly changing. There are many addenda and notices that must accompany a purchase contract, in addition to the legal requirements of the purchase contract. We go above and beyond with our continuing education to be sure we are up to date on the latest changes. When we present an offer on a property to you & get an acceptance of that offer, we confirm that all these documents are correctly provided to make sure that you are protected in the best way possible.
Monitor Your Deal Closely Through Closing …Once we have an executed contract submitted to the title company, The Padre Elite Team monitors the progress of tasks and timelines stipulated by the contract to ensure requirements are met and the process flows smoothly to closing. Action items such as the termination option period deadline, seller’s disclosure, appraisal, inspection, resale certificate, survey, etc., must be completed in accordance to the contract.
Four + One for the Price of One …Since there are 4 licensed agents plus one assistant on our team, we are able to provide exceptional service for you. When one of us is tied up, the other one is there to back us up. Our assistant helps us keep the mounds of paperwork & detail in order. You may hear from several of us, Gayle, Jules, Laurie, Alta, or Carlos.
Educated & Involved …Our team members have earned numerous designations. GRI(Graduate Realtor Institute), RSPS(Resort Second Home Specialist), CRS(Certified Residential Specialist), CPN(Certified Professional Negotiator), CLHMS (Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist), ePro, SFR(Short Sale Foreclosure Resource), ABR(Accredited Buyer Representative). Being involved in our community is important to us. Networking on a local, state, & national level makes a huge difference in how informed we are about issues in real estate. It benefits us & our clients.
