Jayne Hanlon Realty provides a full service program to represent and
assist buyers in the search, evaluation, and purchase of non-commercial use
(e.g. residential use) properties. Such properties may include resale homes, new
or under construction homes (including new subdivision homes), developed lots,
acreage, and "For Sale by Owner" (FSBO) properties. An Exclusive Buyer Agent will
leverage their knowledge and expertise to locate and qualify the
properties that best fit your requirements. This will simplify your
search process and shorten the overall purchase process. For your
reference, the services that are always provided by Jayne Hanlon Realty are
contrasted with the services of a firm that works with buyer clients in
addition to seller clients (listing property). Please note that firms that are not
dedicated to Buyer Agency cannot always offer the service provide by Jayne
Hanlon Realty because they have a conflict of interest caused by having seller
clients.
The services that are always provided by Jayne Hanlon Realty are
highlighted in the following
