"Luxury Living, We Have The Resources to Help"

Welcome to Luxury Villas LA's Buyer's services directory page.  We understand that purchasing a home can be an overwhelming process, and finding high quality service providers along the way can be time consuming.  Below you will find a list of providers with a proven track record we trust, along with easy to find contact information.  We recommend doing your own due diligence and research in the providers you select, and keep in mind that you are free to work with any company you choose, even if they are not listed in our directory.  Additional resources are available upon request.

Lending

Choosing a great lender is just as important as choosing a great Realtor.  In order for the transaction to run as smoothly as possible, it's imperative to work with a lender who exhibits great communication skills and is willing to keep you and your Realtor up to date as to the status of your loan.  Keep in mind that even if you have been pre approved by a lender, you are under no obligation to work with that lender.  Talk to multiple lenders and make sure they're on the ball from the get go.

Home Inspection

Nobody appreciates hidden surprises, especially not in the home you just purchased.  A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive examination of your home and will give you an idea of the overall condition.  Avoid the future headache of purchasing a home in need of major repairs, and hire an experienced home inspector.  Remember that a quality home inspection can save you thousands of dollars down the road, and the least expensive home inspection might not be the smartest option.

Auxiliary Inspections

In addition to your general home inspection, it might be of interest/necessary to order other inspections.  These may come about as recommendations from your initial home inspector, or they might be auxiliary inspections you deem necessary to move forward with your transaction.  In any case, I suggest doing any inspection necessary to make you feel comfortable with your purchase.

Home Warranty

A home warranty will help protect you from the high cost of unexpected failures to your home's systems and appliances due to normal wear and tear.  It is an elective service contract, and I highly recommend you have one ordered at the time of your home purchase.  We all know that life happens and things break.  When they do, a home warranty can make it easier to get a qualified professional on the case while keeping your budget in line.  Be sure to find out more details from your company of choice in regards to what items are covered, and what coverage plan is best for you.

Title Insurance

Unlike car, life and health insurance which protect against future events, a title insurance policy insures against events that occurred in the past of the real estate property and the people who owned it.  The title to a piece of property acts as proof of legal ownership, and title insurance will protect your interest in the property against claims from defects. Defects are things such as another person claiming an ownership interest, improperly recorded documents, fraud, forgery, liens, encroachments, easements and other items that are specified in the insurance policy.

Escrow

The Escrow holder is a neutral third party that holds the documents and monies involved in the real estate transaction and ensures all conditions are met.  Whether you are the buyer, seller, lender or borrower, you want the assurance that no funds or property will change hands until ALL of the instructions in the transaction have been followed.
