Resident Match Day
Thursday, March 15th, 2012
Welcome to my Resident Match Day 2012 Real Estate page! My wife has been through the Match Process in 2003 (Resident Match at Mayo Clinic) and again in 2009 (Fellowship Match at Mayo Clinic). She completed her 5-year General Surgery Residency plus two years of Clinical Research in 2010. She is currently in the middle of a two-year Fellowship in Mayo's Colon and Rectal Surgery Program.
Having been married to a Resident/Fellow, I think I have a unique perspective and insight into the demands of the career. Over the years, I've been able to help many incoming Residents and Fellows from a variety of specialties with their home purchase needs. It would be my pleasure to assist you with your Real Estate needs as well.
As you come to Rochester, MN for Residency interviews between October 1st, 2011 and January 31st, 2012, please feel free to contact me (507) 202-0995 or bryan@olmstedproperties.com, and we can discuss more about the Rochester housing market during your interview stay. We could even tour a couple of homes to give you a feel of some possible places to live in Rochester should you Match here on March 15th, 2012. Affordable and quality housing might be one of the factors that you use in ranking your top Residency programs. Our discussion and tour should help you determine if Rochester has the type of housing that meets your needs during Residency.
Once we have confirmation of a Match, here is the road map that we will follow to get you more information and eventually into your new home in plenty of time before you start your new assignment here in Rochester at the end of June of 2012:
-
I will get you into contact with Lenders that have plenty of prior work experience with newly matching Mayo Residents and Fellows. Our goal will be to secure a pre-approval letter from the lender in a short period of time. The pre-approval letter is necessary to submit offers on properties of interest.
-
Next, we will online computer search the Rochester area and begin to compile a list of homes based on the dollar amount that you qualify for as well as the home amenities you are interested in. If you prefer to search the listings via your smart phone, click here for a free search app. Compiling your home list is easier with our optional registration feature that allows you to - save your search criteria and receive automatic emails notifying you of new listings that match your search. Also, mark listings as Favorites and be notified of any changes to these listings. As a bonus feature you can view more listing details than what is shown to unregistered users.
-
We will schedule a time for you to come to Rochester and visit the homes you have compiled during the online search phase of the process.
-
After touring several homes of interest, we will narrow the list down to one and write an offer and begin the negotiating process.
-
Upon acceptance of your offer, we will schedule a home inspection of the subject property. Inspection usually takes place within 5 days of offer acceptance. You do not need to be present for the inspection. The Inspector will send your report via mail or Internet and discuss results over the phone with you.
-
Upon satisfactory inspection, we will begin working with the Title Company/Real Estate Attorney's office on a Closing Date and Time. Usually, this takes place 2-4 weeks before the start of Residency.
-
On the date of closing, I will attend the closing with you and give you the keys to your new place at the conclusion! Time to start unpacking and enjoying your new home!!
