First Time Home Buyers
Buying a home can be an overwhelming process. From financing to negotiating to closing, there are a lot of moving pieces that can leave homebuyers bewildered.
A real estate agent can help guide you through each step of the buying process, offering sound advice along the way. By working with a professional agent who knows the ins and outs of the real estate industry, you’ll not only end up with a great home, but you’ll also walk away with a great experience.
Here are some of the key areas that an agent can help you with:
Getting pre-approved by a lender
By providing your real estate agent with some basic information about your income, savings, and debt, he or she can assist you in getting pre-approved by a reputable lender. The lender will then go over your financing options, what monthly payment amount you can afford, and what you can expect for down payment requirements and closing costs.
Choosing a home
For most buyers, choosing a home is an emotional process. An agent can assist you in this process by offering objective information about each property you look at. From local community information like schools and zoning to home-specific details like condition and amenities, an agent can help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Making an offer
Once you’ve found the home of your dreams, an agent will research recent comparable sales of similar homes in the area to help determine a fair selling price. Based on those comparable sales, as well as other factors like inspections and repairs, an agent will then help you structure an offer and negotiate to get the very best deal possible.
Closing
Closing, or settlement, can be a complicated process. In some areas, the escrow or title company handles the closing process, while in other areas an attorney handles it. Regardless of where you’re buying, a real estate agent can help ensure that everything goes smoothly.

“SIMPLY THE BEST!”
Missy has represented us in five or six transactions now. There are multiple reasons why we keep using her exclusively as our Realtor.1) Her deep knowledge of the market. She is spot-on with knowing what a property is worth (on the buy and on the sell side). 2) Her reliability. She will follow-up on time, she will return your cal/email/or text. 3) Her good nature. You will feel comfortable with Missy from the moment you meet her. When your transaction is complete, you will consider her a friend.
On our latest transaction, she represented us as the seller and she represented the buyer. Both parties felt equally fairly represented and looked after. I can’t even think of any areas to suggest for improvement. She is simply – The Best!!!

“GREAT TO WORK WITH”
Missy was great to work with. She was excellent at keeping us informed of how our sale transaction was progressing. When the buyer’s bank was slow to get the loan processed, she was very involved in getting them to move more quickly. She knows the local real estate market and applies her knowledge to her clients for their maximum benefit. We highly recommend Missy Coman and her team for your real estate needs – buying or selling residential property

“NOT ONLY A CLIENT BUT A HUGE FAN”
I have been a contractor for 15 years and as such I have worked with close to 100 realtors. Despite this, when it came time to sell my house it was an easy choice to select Missy. In all my years working with dozens of realtors she has stood out as the most organized, professional and ethical agent I have ever worked with. I had a little trepidation when Missy said she had started her own firm and I would be working with her associate Laura, but it didn’t last long. Laura, like Missy, was clearly not focused on getting a deal to go through right away so she could get her commission, but on doing what was best for myself and my family. I don’t think I was an easy client. I didn’t want to just sell my house quickly, I wanted top dollar, and I asked Laura to negotiate several aspects of the deal in order to ensure this. I am sure that I saved not only time and stress but came out ahead financially by hiring Missy and Laura. After selling this house and buying another with these agents I am not just a client but a huge fan. They truly had my best interests at heart and I will be contracting them for any future real estate services I have

“BEST REALTOR I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH”
Missy is, without doubt, the best realtor I have ever worked with. Her expertise in knowing the area, along with great marketing skills, resulted in the sale of my home. Her communication skills are excellent and she kept me informed of everything that was happening. She obviously cares about her clients and goes the extra miles to show your home in the best light. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did to sell my house and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional realtor. Thank you Missy for everything.

“HER KNOWLEDGE OF THE MARKET”
I recently had the pleasure of working with Ms. Coman for the second time in 10 years. First time was buying a house and this time was selling. She is just so thorough and relentless on every front for her clients. Her knowledge of the market, how to present the house if selling, and how to do the negotiations for buying/selling are outstanding. She and her staff follow through on the details of getting the documents right, making sure the client understands what’s going on, and bringing the whole affair through to the completion of closing. It is hard to describe how very pleased we have been with having her as our agent.

“A PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS WITH”
We purchased a home with Missy as our agent and then sold our previous home using Missy also. She was very helpful in the negotiations in purchasing our home. She was willing to go back and forth with the sellers until we reached an agreeable price. When we sold our other house Missy gave us great advice on what we should do to make our house more marketable so that we would receive the best offer. Her advice was spot on as we received a full price offer on the first day our house was listed. Missy’s knowledge and expertise made it easy to navigate all aspects of selling and buying real estate in Boise. Her personable manner made it a pleasure to do business with her. She made us feel as if we were her only and most important clients–even though we knew she had many others at the same time she was assisting us

“PUT IN 110% EFFORT”
When we decided to list our house, we had about 4 days to get it on the market. Missy immediately gave us a list of things to get done, while she put 110% effort into coming and helping us get our house ready to go. Missy was always available and consistently updated us on what was going on. Missy and her team worked so hard to get our house sold in 48 hours. Not only are they hard working, they also care about their clients. I highly recommend Missy and her team if you are looking to sell or buy a new house
