P.S. My favorite clients are those who like to participate in their own fate, and who do a large portion of the searching and narrowing down to area and property on their own. Not all of my clients use the internet, but clearly most do.
The majority of my transactions involve hundreds, even thousands of emails and very little contact by phone. In person and by phone is on an "only when needed" basis. The first step is to meet in person as soon as possible, so we can "choose" one another...or not. That is true for both seller clients and buyer clients. Many of my clients have busy lives and I don't want to waste their time in any way, shape or form. Rarely do I use written agreements for buyer clients, it is their choice not mine. I don't need one and they generally don't like to sign them. So our relationship is most often based on mutual trust.

Stephen Covey:
"There are two dimensions as to why you trust someone. One is that they have character. That's who they really are. The other is that they have competence and ability to do things, make things happen. And you really trust people that have both character and competence. Both are vital. If they have only one and not the other, then we'll tend not to trust them.
And as an entrepreneur you're constantly dealing with people, and you want to work with people that you can count on, and rely on, and trust. And that is a reflection of both, do they have character? And do they have competence? If they have both, you can trust them. If they don't -- if they're lacking any one of those, then you won't."

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.
