Buying a Property

Whether you’re a first time home buyer or a tenured real estate investor, Gordon James Realty has a dedicated team for your every need.

Step
1

We listen to your specific wants and needs

Being able to listen to and accurately interpret a client’s needs is a skill that has been refined and perfected by Gordon James. It is all too easy for realtors to assume what a client needs and then proceed haphazardly into working towards a half-baked result. To successfully hit milestones and achieve the goals our clients have, Gordon James will feel more like an experienced investment partner than a realtor.

Partner with our investor team or residential team

Gordon James believes finding and purchasing an investment property should be a much different process than buying a family home- that’s why we dedicate an experienced team that is specifically suited for either scenario. And whether you’re purchasing your first home or your fourth investment property, our team of luxury real estate agents are equipped with unmatched local expertise and the latest market data to provide you with a superior real estate experience.

Non-stop, endless searching

Many buyers are educated enough to know that they have multiple sites at their disposal to be able to search for properties that may pique their interest. That said, many of the best properties for both investors and families may not even be on the market yet. With ties to development, investor, and real estate communities, Gordon James always has more listings to offer buyers than what’s just available to the public. Giving our clients an advantage above the competition.

Humble experts

Although Gordon James is considered to be the brokerage office to select when it comes to partnering with realtors that are just as equally knowledgeable about property buying as they are investing, our core value is to be humble, speak in terms universally understood and always take time to go the extra mile in explaining ourselves, so our clients easily digest the matter.

Gordon James takes a data driven approach to help clients buy a commercial, rental, or owner occupied property. Using our vast proprietary database along with public market data, rest assured you will have the information to make an informed, educated decision.

Why Choose Gordon James?

Our customized approach, responsiveness and expertise mean you can relax and reap the rewards of buying your property with a brokerage you can trust. When you partner with Gordon James, you put yourself in a position to maximize the profit of your purchase, while buying it at the fastest pace possible.

Investor buyers

Whether you’re considering purchasing a multiunit complex for immediate rental, buying a home now with the idea of selling it a few years or profiting from the purchase of a fixer-upper that can be resold at a much higher price, Gordon James specializes in all investment scenarios.

Commercial buyers

The first step in purchasing commercial real estate is knowing yourself, your situation, and what you’re looking for. At Gordon James, we help you answer every question with confidence, from what kind of property you’re looking for to how you plan to use the building, and even how you may plan to partner with other investors in the purchase.

First time home buyers

Being a first-time home buyer is exciting! But we know it can also feel overwhelming—especially when you see homes being purchased for more than you expected and available homes flying off the market in just three weeks.

With real estate trends like these, you might be tempted to make an impulsive purchase that could hurt your financial goals and keep you paying a mortgage well into retirement. At Gordon James, we refuse to let this happen to you. Speak with us today to learn more about our process and why so many first time home buyers trust Gordon James with this honor.
