1. For Buyers
Free Buyer Workshops
Avoid Making Serious Home Buying Mistakes...
Most resale home buyers move into their new houses or condos about 60 to 90
days after their offer has been accepted. Before you start actually looking for the
home that you want to buy, you should get educated about the process, learn how
to "hire" a Buyer Agent, get a full pre-approval for a mortgage... and then start
actually viewing potential houses, condominiums or new construction to buy!
Our Next Indianapolis Buyer Workshops
Start at:
9:25 am Sharp Saturday, January 9th
6:15 Sharp Thursday January 21st
90 minutes later, walk out feeling confident, knowing exactly how to begin your
home search and having a clear vision of how the entire home buying process
comes together. You'll be provided with handy fill-in forms and charts to guide
you through a smooth, hassle-free home-buying process.
We know that our workshop will save you time, money and worry, even if you've
owned a home before!
Even if you already own a home, chances are that you bought it before Buyer
Agency became a trend. Many parts of the home-buying process have changed
dramatically during the last few years since disclosure and buyer agency became
more common.
Here's what you'll discover at these Home Buyer Knowledge Workshops:
• How to best begin your home search to save you time, money and worry
• How to avoid buying a "money pit" and ways to spot the 6 signs that could
mean expensive, hidden trouble
• The critical questions to ask a Realtor before you "hire" him or her to be your
Buyer Agent and represent you for what will likely be the biggest single
purchase of your life. We'll also tell you the correct answers to expect
• The easiest and most accurate way to find out what you will get for your
money in today's Indianapolis housing market
• The formulas that financial institutions use to qualify you for a mortgage so
that you can 'crunch your own numbers'
• Why a verbal or written "Quick Qualifier" from a bank, internet or friend is not
enough to guarantee that you can actually get a mortgage... and what you
should get instead
• What three critical things you should do ahead of time to give you the edge in
a multiple offer situation

2. We're confident that the Home Buyers Knowledge Workshop will be the best 90-
minutess that you invest during your 'home-searching' phase.
Not only that, it's: Free, there's no obligation and you'll take home a 55-page Home
Buyer Reference Manual entitled "Save Time & Money When Buying Your
Indianapolis Home" to review at your leisure.

"The EASYstreet team is outstanding. They are the hardest working Realtors I have ever
dealt with."
-F. Jacobi
"I am so impressed with EASYstreet's knowledge of the industry, and the effort they put
forth to ensure that my transaction happened. And let's not forget my agent's kind offer
(which I accepted!) to unload storage boxes at my new home. In closing, it is so rare
nowadays to find a group who is so customer service oriented, and am blessed to have
the opportunity to work with my EASYstreet professional. You are the best...nobody
comes close!
-R. Ortega
"Our EASYstreet agent has been very, very responsive to all of our requests! She was very
thorough each time we went over an offer. The service and quality of service have been
above our expectations. I would rate her service a 100 on a scale of 1 to 10!"
-R. Hostetler
"Our EASYstreet agent was extremely helpful in our purchase of a new home. He was
there the whole time working in conjunction with us. He was a professional all the way
through, and we felt like we could call him at any time about concerns or questions we
had. It is professionals like our EASYstreet Realtor that made our purchase a smooth and
easy transaction. His advice was great and he guided us through the process like a pro. I
take my hat off to EASYstreet."
-S. Paciorek
