Buyer Agency
EXHIBIT LIST OF SERVICES BUYER AGENT
What I do as a Buyer Agent for you!
I am a trusted advisor who guides you through the homebuying process — from house hunting to closing. Among other things, I will:
- Find homes for sale. I will help you understand the type of home you can afford in the current market, find listed homes that match your needs and price range, and then help you narrow the options to the properties worth considering. Additionally, I will dig up additional information on any listings that you find. With access to the Multiple Listing Service, agents can see more information than you can using real estate websites and apps.
- Know the area inside and out. If you're not a local, I will provide you with the inside scoop on schools, neighborhoods and more. Even if you're from the area, I know details about zoning or taxes that you don’t.
- Set up tours. Scrolling through listing photos just isn't the same as viewing a property in person. Your I will work with a home's listing agent or owners (if the property is for sale by owner) to schedule showings. They'll also fill you in on anything they learned about the sellers or the property from that communication.
- Help you make offers. After you've found a home you want to buy, I will advise you on how much to offer and what contingencies to include in the contract, based on the property and an analysis of the market. I will explain the contract terms, answer your questions and walk you through each step of the process.
- Negotiate with the seller. The agent will inform you of the seller's response to your offer and advise you on the next steps, such as whether to accept a seller's counteroffer or negotiate on price and terms.
- Assist and advise you with the due diligence process. I can refer you to professionals, such as real estate attorneys and movers. The only pro you'll definitely want to find on your own is the home inspector, who you’ll want to be sure is completely impartial. Through the due diligence phase of the contract I will assist you with the evaluation of the inspection, how to negotiate the inspection resolution and achieving an appropriate concession or conclusion of this sensitive process.
- Guide you through closing process. I will work with the title company to ensure that you have timely closing documents including the estimated settlement statement. I will review these documents with you so that you we may communicate any question regarding HOA, tax and other prorations. I will also work with you to prepare for the completion of mortgage processes, repairs, moving logistics and your final walk-through of your property. At each stage of this process, I act as your advocate to ensure that the seller and his/her broker is completing these actions in a timely manner. If you have an on-site closing, I will attend the closing and assist you with the title closer answering pertinent questions and providing you insights.
- After closing. I will be available to assist you with any questions that may come up after you move into your home. Prior to your move, I will provide you with (if available from the seller) a list of contractors with whom the seller has worked and know the home. This maybe a property manager or simply those contractors who have knowledge of the home. If this is not available, I will provide a list of contractors that I trust.
Last, with over twenty years of experience I will help you weather the highs and lows of the homebuying process. In addition to being a major financial transaction, buying a home often gets pretty emotional. If you're feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, you can lean on me. If there's an issue with the sellers or negotiations become frustrating, I will help you keep calm and get the best possible outcome.

Pleased that due to the professional and sharp attention of our broker, Lissa, we were able to close within 27 days! Unheard of, generally - especially with all that is involved. She also assisted us by helping to coordinate our exit from the rental house we were in while searching for a home. Clever, persistent, representative of our interests all the way through the closing, Lissa is awesome!

I do not even know where to begin when it comes to the exceptional service we received from Lissa, whom I now consider not only my Realtor, but also my trusted friend. Her knowledge of the Vail Valley area, market trends, and local businesses-which we needed some help from during the process (surveyor, attorney, other Realtors, etc.), was what helped us to smoothly close the transaction with all parties leaving the closing satisfied. Thank you again Lissa!

Lissa has helped us buy 2 units in the Westin Riverfront in the last 2 years. She is knowledgeable about the area especially the Westin. She knows a lot of the tenants personally and she can shed insight on the property. Lissa is so hardworking that she even answers emails while on vacation. If I was buying another unit in the Vail Valley I would not hesitate to hire Lissa.

I interviewed several realtors before deciding to list my home in early August. I chose Lissa Tyler because of her knowledge, her marketing skills, her professionalism, and her true concern for making the entire process as stress free as possible. My home was under contract in 3 days! I am truly grateful for her guidance and diligence and would highly recommend Lissa Tyler and SSF whether you are selling or buying in the Vail Valley.

We could not have been happier with the service we received from Lissa Tyler and SSF in the marketing and sale of our townhouse in Avon. Lissa was professional, attentive and often went above and beyond the call of duty in representing us and our property. We had weekly updates, suggestions on marketing and solid guidance on the current real estate climate in the Valley. Lissa often went to our townhouse prior to a showing to make sure everything was in tip top shape and I am sure that is what help in the sale of our property. Once we had a contract, Lissa kept us very informed of the progress of the closing. I would not hesitate to recommend Lissa Tyler and SSF or use her services again in the future.

We bought at the Westin in 2010 when we moved to Boulder after having lived in Eagle County for over 25 years. Mitch was an active member of the Westin residential homeowner Board of Directors for 6 1/2 years.We enjoyed the Westin tremendously for over 10 years, staying there 80-90 nights per year while keeping our condo on the rental program.When we decided it was time to sell, we had to decide which of the many fine real real estate agents that we knew well in the valley to list our condo with. We knew Lissa was very active in selling Riverfront Village properties. As a matter of fact she had recently listed and quickly sold a similar condo owned by good friends we met through our ownership at the Westin at what we thought was a very good price. Lissa got our condo under contract within about 30 days and facilitated a quick and smooth closing..We highly recommend Lissa if you are interested in buying or selling a Riverfront Village property.

Lissa - Thanks for your efforts in getting my unit in the Westin to the closing last week. I appreciated your candor and your experience in the current Vail Valley real estate market during the listing process. I feel confident this lead to pricing the property correctly (and getting it sold).

Lissa Tyler was my broker on the sale of my Westin Unit. She was the third broker I used and was the only one able to sell the unit in less than 6 months. However, that is not the sole reason I would recommend Lissa. More importantly, and most impressively, I recommend Lissa highly to represent you in any real estate transaction it is because of the unusual circumstances surrounding our sale. Every real estate transaction is unique and requires some flexibility and ability to negotiate to keep a deal alive. In our case, our deal had fallen apart, we had a signed contract but the buyer cancelled and Lissa through skill, patience and negotiating power was able to nurture and resuscitate the deal and actually get it done with the same buyer for more than our original contract and with a closing of less than 3 weeks. This was no easy feat. My only regret is that I don't have more property to list with Lissa.

Lissa and Jack were quick to list our property and plan an Open House at the earliest opportunity. We appreciated Lissa's regular and thorough communication throughout the process. She worked to bring about a quick closing.

There is no one else in The Valley that I would trust to help guide me through the market and a transaction besides Lissa! Her knowledge and her reputation are known to everyone. She is well-respected by everyone throughout the process, and she will go to bat for you whenever needed. Lissa went above and beyond to help us get our unit on the market and then was there at every step to keep everything on track through selling one property and buying our replacement. She always had our best interests in mind and worked hard to negotiate on our behalf. Because we were not local, Lissa was willing to meet contractors and inspectors to keep our transaction moving toward a successful closing. It's impossible to list all of the ways that Lissa helped us - just know if you put your trust in Lissa, she will not let you down. She is one of the hardest working, most knowledgeable professionals you could be lucky enough to work with!

My husband and I recently purchased a beautiful new construction unit at the Westin Riverfront. It was a complicated transaction because it included a trade of our older Westin unit and the purchase of our new unit. Lissa Tyler handled all the paperwork and the valuation of the trade property. In addition, we did a partial remodel of the new unit and Lissa handled all the complexities of the new unit remodel and insured that both the developer and us were treated in a professional and fair manner. A HUGE thank you to Lissa!

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Lissa for over 18 years, and in that time, she has helped us both purchase and sell five properties in the Vail Valley. Her deep knowledge of the local market, her professionalism, and her unwavering dedication have made every transaction seamless and successful. What we truly love about Lissa is her exceptional communication. She keeps us informed every step of the way, listens closely to our needs, and always advocates on our behalf. She’s responsive, proactive. Lissa also brings a calm confidence to every interaction. Whether navigating complex negotiations or simply answering questions, she makes the entire process less stressful and more enjoyable. Her honesty, integrity, and personal touch have earned our complete trust over the years. We can’t recommend Lissa highly enough. She’s not just a fantastic realtor—she’s become a trusted partner and a valued friend.

Lissa did an amazing job navigating a complex transaction where the selling broker and seller where not responsive and took 3 extensions to close the transaction - she went above and beyond her responsibility to make sure we closed the transaction

I would absolutely recommend Lissa Tyler to work with for real estate transactions. She is a phenomenal agent to work with. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about the area, valuations, etc. that you would expect, she has unique insights and relationships with people/organizations that can be extremely valuable when buying/selling property. She is also extremely attentive to detail, highly responsive, and definitely an expert in her field. We are so grateful to her help in our recent purchase in Avon, CO, and we will definitely leverage her services for any future real estate needs we have. We highly recommend working with Lissa for all your real estate needs!

I have used SSF twice, both for buying and selling property. Both times the process has been efficient, smooth, and I have enjoyed my relationships with both brokers. Most recently, Lissa has been accessible and a joy to work with.
"
- Debra L. Strong Rev. Trust
"
Every one of the over 20 transactions we have completed with Slifer over the years has been unique but this particular transaction had a number of complicated twists and turns. Lissa Tyler, our agent, brilliantly pieced together all the moving parts to successfully complete our sale. From arranging showings and open houses during the busy winter rental season, communicating and managing negotiations with owners who spend most of their time abroad (us!) to finding a suitable alternative property to move our pre-committed rental obligation - Lissa was on it. She could not have achieved this without her thorough knowledge of the area, attention to detail, many years of negotiations and extensive contacts in the Valley. We would highly recommend Lissa if you are looking for an agent with strong communication skills willing to aggressively market your property and skillfully bring negotiations to a successful conclusion.
