We met the Team for YOUR Dreams from the Internet, but we did not know how to go about getting a house.  We had only been married a matter of months, and this would be our first house. We were going around to open houses when we stumbled on the perfect home.

I knew enough to get help. Tim Burrell is a twenty-year veteran of buying and selling houses. This purchase was only my first one. I wanted him in my corner. He jokes about needing to be forgiven for his past life as a trial lawyer, but I like having that extra protection.

The Team for YOUR Dreams looked up all the other similar houses to show us what the values were. Then, they found out why the people were selling the house.  Tim says that knowledge is power and used it to his advantage while negotiating a great price.  They even threw in the washer, dryer, and refrigerator. Tim found us excellent financing that was tailored to young people who are just starting out.

There were some problems with the house, but we found out about them using the Team’s inspectors. Kathy McShane, the Team’s closing specialist, has lists of the best professionals to help us finish getting the house. Most of the problems were fixed by the sellers, but when we had the walk through, there were several items that were not done properly.  Instead of having to delay the closing, fight with the sellers, extend our lease and all that hassle, Tim took some tools out of his trunk and did the repairs himself. I thought it was strange that a Mercedes had so many construction tools. But, Tim told Heather that he had a journeyman carpenter’s union card when he was only 9 (his family had been in construction for generations), so he felt better having his tools on hand. Since he had built hundreds of houses, it was easy for him to do some minor repair while Heather watched.
