Why should you pick the “Padre Elite Team” to find your perfect property? They are the #1 team on South Padre Island (SPI) and 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. One team member 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 are professional “negotiators.” There are many items to negotiate such as price, repairs, closing date, possession, etc.
Critique All Documents … Real Estate in Texas is constantly changing. There are many addenda and notices that must accompany a purchase contract as well as 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 an offer is presented to you and an agreed upon contract is executed, we confirm the documents are correct and fully executed.
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 with the terms of the contract.
Four + Two for the Price of One … Since there are four licensed agents/broker associates plus two assistants 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 and detail in order. You may hear from several of us, Alycen, Gayle, Jules, Laurie, Angie, or Carlos.
Educated & Involved … Our team members have earned numerous designations. GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute), SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist), 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), TACS(Texas Accredited Commercial Specialist.)
Being involved in our community is important to us. Networking on a local, state, and national level makes a huge difference in keeping us informed about issues in real estate. It benefits us and our clients.
