Mick Lierd from Destination Properties is awesome! We are so glad to have had him as our agent when buying our new house in Eden UT. At first we were looking at a condo and Mick was able to show us some units and share tons of info on the area and the home buying process. He helped us put an offer in on a condo but we weren’t able to make a deal with the sellers. Mick was super cool about the situation and offered to continue helping us find something. A few weeks later a house listed that we really liked and Mick was able to set up a last minute showing for us on a Sunday afternoon. He found out that there were two other offers on the house that day! He and his team helped us put together a strong offer that we submitted just in time to get our new house! After that he was amazing at helping us through the rest of the home buying process, answering all our questions promptly and suggesting things to look for during the inspection process and getting estimates for any needed repairs. Just going to say to make sure you shop around for mortgages, we were able to find a much better deal through one of our own banks. All in all, we were very happy with the service that Mick and Destination Properties provided and can’t recommend them enough!

Brandi is great to work with. She made our transition to Eden from out of state as easy as it could have been. She listened to us about our desires and budget and helped us find the perfect place. Anne and I love her and highly recommend her. Nobody knows the Ogden Valley better.

I would have given 10 stars if I could.... Brandi Lierd and the Destination Properties team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Calm, competent, and professional. She assisted the whole way through the process of finding a home, and has continued to help us long after the sale. Highly recommended. We made the move to Eden two years ago and my wife says “I am so happy to have a beautiful home and enjoy morning walks with my neighbors , I love that i made the decision to move here and Brandi is far more than our realtor, she’s a wonderful friend. Thank you very much.”

We live in NC and wanted to buy a second home in the Ogden Valley. Fortunately, we found Dylan Lierd and Destination Properties. Dylan made the experience easy and fun. Having grown up in the Valley, his knowledge of the area and local real estate market was exceptional. With Dylan's help we found a great house and were able to close quickly virtually with no problems. We can't say enough good things about Dylan and highly recommend his services.

Brandi Lierd was the best Realtor/Real Estate Advisor we’ve ever had. She is a very smart strategist, deep as a well on the Ogden Valley properties and areas and super discrete. We felt very comfortable sharing goals and objectives with her because we trust her to put those things first and foremost in the relationship. Several times over two different properties she represented us on, one buy and one sale, she showed us that when she had a choice between us getting the best outcome for us vs. some more expedient process, she put us first. We won’t use anyone else. And she’s really fun and easy to work with.

This was an exceptional experience if that’s even possible with selling a home. It was all taken care of while we were out of state…and there were quite a few issues since we had not lived there for some time. Brandi is super responsive and very responsible. I would go to her again for any real estate transactions in the valley.

Brandi was very responsive and easy to work with. This is one of the smoothest real estate transactions I have had.

Time to go shopping

Once those preparations are out of the way, it is time to find the right property for you. There are a couple easy steps to find your dream place and make it a reality. Once you have done the first two steps it is time to go shopping for your dream home.

Take a Drive.

Get to know the neighborhoods, complexes, or subdivisions which interest you. Drive around and get a feel for what it would be like to own a property in the area. Start getting a sense of the properties available in those areas. Try to imagine what life would be like in every area you pass through. Look at the things you do and don’t like on each house, as well as the areas that you would like to improve. Measure distances to work, schools, and other places you’d like to visit.

Narrow Your Search.

Select a few properties that interest you the most and have your real estate agent make appointments to visit them. Ask your real estate agent about the potential long term resale value of the properties you are considering. What have you always wanted for your dream home? What are your nonnegotiable’s? Take your time to truly consider what it is that you want in your future home. Right those ideas down. Once it’s on paper, you can begin to narrow your range of possibilities to match your goals.

Time to Buy your dream home.

It is time to go shopping for your dream home. Once you have picked out the property you want to purchase, your real estate agent can help you make an offer that the seller can’t help but accept. A good agent will investigate the potential costs and expenses associated with the new property, and work hard to turn each deal to your favor. An agent can also help you draft your offer in a way that gives you the advantage over another offer.
