THE ROYAL TEAM

BRANDON MARTIN

RealtorĀ®

Hello! I am a Realtor with The Royal Team, one of the best teams in Hampton Roads. My utmost priority is
to spend every minute hunting for your sanctuary so that every moment spent in your dream home feels
like the first time you walked through the property. For me, the real estate business is more of a passion
because it allows me the opportunity to not only go out and find these unearthed gems but also to meet
amazing people to have life lasting connections with. I will treat each opportunity that I am afforded with

you as if I were actively attempting to buy the home for myself. My thoughts will be to put your best
interests first.

I was born and raised in Mississippi. I joined the Military at the age of 18 to become a Nuclear Machinist
Mate for the US Navy. The trials and tribulations I underwent as a young Nuclear Mechanic were primarily

to maintain the untestable safety and care for our nuclear vessels, which I intend to also bring to every
transaction we engage together. I have lived in the Virginia area for 5 years and have two beautiful pups
Chloe and Brody! They are my world! When I am not spending time with my fur babies, I thoroughly enjoy

going to the gym, watching Sunday night football, and eating at any of the local foodie spot. New
restaurant recommendations are always appreciated!

From the moment we first meet until we get to that final palace, I will bring all of these qualities to the
table for you. Where one door closes another always opens. Buying or selling a home, I believe, is not only
opening a new door but is the start of a new chapter of your life. My goal is to ensure that this process is
not only stress free but as thorough as possible! With the intense military training that I have gained up to

this point, I believe it has afforded me the opportunity to be confident and committed to you and your
future goals in Real Estate!

Making Competitive Offers

different ways to make a competitive offer

Increase the Purchase Price

When submitting an offer you should be coming in at your strongest, this shows the sellers
that you are serious about purchasing their home. Talk to your Realtor about utilizing an
escalation clause which will allow you to get the best value without putting it all on the
table. Many sellers are worried that an appraisal may come in low, if it is within your
financial capacity it may be bennificial to guarantee whatever cash you can in this event.
An additional way to increase the strength of your offer is to increase the earnest money
deposit amount. This shows the sellers that are you a serious buyer.

Costing Cost Assistance

Closing costs fees that are due at closing that contribute to loan processing, title search
fees, prepaids and more that both the buyer and seller have to pay. When looking to make
the most competitive offer, if it is within your financial capacity, it is most aggressive to not
ask for any closing cost assistance. If you need this, it's best to incerease the price of the
home by atleast the amount that you need. Another less common but really aggressive
approach is to offer to pay the sellers closing costs, however keep in mind that this will have
to be cash brought to closing day.

Home Inspections

In most cases we do not advise to forgo a home inspection, however if you are purchasing a
condominium or very well maintained home this may be an option to make your offer more
competitive. You can make your home inspection "For Informational Purposes Only" which
would allow you to walk away with the right to receive your earnest money deposit back if
something major comes up, however the sellers are not obligated to repair issues that are
found.

Arrange for a Quick Closing with Minimal Contingencies

Every seller and situation is different however many are looking for a speedy closing. If this
is the case work with your Realtor & local lender to make sure this can be accommodated.
Try to plan to have minimal contingencies such as the sale of another home, if this cannot
be within your financial constraints get your home listed and under contract to make the
seller feel more comfortable with this. This could also mean choosing a loan with little to
no contingencies, such as a conventional loan, if it is within your financial means.
