Why Choose Richard Martin?
Designations and
Affiliations:
- Accredited Buyer's
Representative-Awarded to Realtors who meet specific educational and practical
experience criteria. I represent Buyers exclusively and negotiate in their
behalf tenaciously to obtain the best property, price, and terms. Buyers become
"Clients" and not merely customers.
- Certified Residential Specialist--Just
5% of all REALTORS can call themselves Certified Residential Specialists. That
is because only 1 in 20 has the extensive experience, the unique commitment,
and the hours of advanced training necessary to call herself or himself a
Certified Residential Specialist.
- Graduate of the Realtors Institute-
Rigorous training detailing negotiating skills, contracts, laws, marketing, and
client satisfaction.
- California Real Estate Broker--Not all
salespersons are Brokers. Salespersons by law have to work for a Broker. To
obtain a Broker's license requires more education, experience, and passing a
detailed State Exam.
- Member of National Association of
REALTORS. REALTORS must agree in writing to adhere to a strict code of ethics.
Not all agents are REALTORS. If you meet a salesperson that is not a REALTOR,
ask them why!
- California Association of REALTORS
- HUD approved Real Estate Broker
- Director for Palm Springs Regional
Association of REALTORS
- Member of Palm Springs Chamber of

Loan Documents after hours when they can't make it to the Escrow Office during
regular business times.

University, Hotel Motel and Food Service Administration

Real Estate Contracts >Selling Before Buying
Timing can sometimes be difficult if you have to sell a home before you can buy another one. Most people need the equity from the sale of their first home for the down payment on the new house. If your present home goes on the market first, you may be concerned that it will sell before you find the one you want to buy. On the other hand, if you find the perfect home before your present home is under contract, the sellers may be reluctant to accept your offer, and you may be too nervous to sign a contract.
It is a good idea to sit down with a good real estate agent for some professional advice before you begin your search. It will probably be necessary to be flexible on the closing date, because it can be easier to find a home that you want to buy than to sell your present home. After finding the house you want, you can ask the lender about arranging a short-term bridge loan that can make the purchase possible before you sell your current residence.
