ABOUT ME

Hello,My name is Geoff Jones. I am a Real Estate Agent and Real Estate Appraiser. To put it mildly, Real Estate is my passion and is far from just “a job” for me.

After college, I wasted little time starting my career in Real Estate. The day after my graduation in 2004, I began training as an appraiser apprentice. I became a certified residential appraiser in 2006. I then started my own appraisal company in 2012. In a little under a year, my client list has grown to include the largest lenders in the St. Louis area. I have appraised over 3,000 homes for lenders, attorneys, individuals and real estate agents.

I began selling real estate in 2008. I enjoy working with buyers and sellers. I love to share my knowledge and expertise with my clients. I find great joy in scoring a great deal for my buyers. I enjoy helping sellers get the maximum dollar for their home. With my appraisal background, I am able to help sellers make key improvements and price their homes to maximize profits.

In addition to selling and appraising homes, I currently remodel homes, own rental property and wholesale distressed properties.

Steps to Buying a Home

•Obtain Lender Pre-Approval

Obtain a pre approval letter from a trusted and reputable lender

There is nothing worse than finding the home of your dreams and

finding out you can’t get approved for financing.

A bad lender can ruin your home buying experience

•Find the Best Home for You

Be clear about what you want in a home

Be realistic about what you want and what you can afford

•Present Offer

Once we find the right home, we will submit an offer to purchase

The seller can accept the offer, reject the offer or counter the

offer

•Inspections

Once the contract is accepted, there is a 10 day inspection period

Typical inspections include; building, sewer, termite & radon

Inspections typically cost around $800 and are paid for at

the time of the inspection

THE BUYING PROCESS




Steps to Buying a Home

•Inspection Negotiation

Once inspection are complete there is a 10 day negotiation period

This is the time to ask for repairs, monetary

compensation, price reduction or back out of the contract

•Title Work

The title company will complete the required steps to provide you

with a clean title of the home

•Survey

A survey conveys the property boundaries

•Obtain Loan

Work with lender to provide needed documents in a timely

manner

A loan underwriter will evaluate the loan, appraisal and your

financial situation and decide to approve or reject your

loan

•Closing

A HUD statement outlines your fees and loan information

We will close at the title company and keys will be transferred

when the funds are deposited in the seller’s bank account

Time to Celebrate!!

Geoff sold 2 of my houses In under one week! When I called Geoff to help me sell my properties – I was in a hurry. I had to sell two investment properties by the end of year. Geoff helped me “Stage” the houses beautifully, and I had a buyer for each home in under a week! I couldn’t be happier. Thanks Geoff!

We finally got our dream house...We first called Geoff about one of his listings. When he showed us through the house, we fell in love with it...and of course we HAD to have it. Geoff moved quickly to help us get our house on the market --- and in less than 2 weeks he found a buyer, and we got our dream house!

The Bruning’sSaint Louis, Missouri

I thought I would be stuck in that condo forever! When I called Geoff, I was at my wits end. I had been trying to sell my condo in Maryland Heights for months. Geoff came over and gave me some honest feedback about how the condo appeared to buyers. I listened to his suggestions – and Geoff sold my condo for exactly what we were asking. Amazing!

We needed to move quickly – Geoff got It done in record time! Some friends got news they were being transferred out of state. It was our chance to buy their beautiful home. We needed to move quickly because our friends needed to move. Geoff came over, told us exactly what we needed to do to get Top-Dollar – and he DELIVERED. The entire process was a JOY...and now we’re living in our Dream Home.

The Dixon'sSaint Louis, Missouri

We were bursting at the seams...Three kids. Two dogs. One Bathroom. Something had to give! It was time to move and we called Geoff. He helped us find a bigger house we could afford, get our house ready to sell... and SOLD it in less that 30 days! We got to stay in the same neighborhood, but we got a bigger house – and most importantly, a bathroom in our Master Bedroom!

The Collins’Saint Louis, Missouri

My back yard is a football field ...When we started looking for a bigger home – our TOP priority was a Big Yard Geoff understood exactly what we were looking for and took us right to a home in Ladue. It wasn’t even on the market yet – but he arranged for us to see it, and as soon as we saw the size of the back yard we knew we were home. We couldn’t be happier! Thanks Geoff...
