Private Collection a buyer journey

Expert Representation. Local Insight. Your Advantage in Every Transaction.

Private Collection Buyer Journey

By Paula Higman, Private Client Real Estate Advisor

Curated Home Discovery

We don’t send you everything. We send you what matters.

Through deep market insight and trusted local connections, I filter the noise and present only the homes that align with your lifestyle, goals, and timing — including properties that may not be publicly listed.

Exploring the Landscape

Sometimes the right decision starts with the right feeling.

Whether we’re previewing communities, identifying key locations, or simply getting a sense of what “feels right,” I help you explore Park City from a lifestyle perspective — not just a real estate one.

Private Property Viewings

Every showing is intentional.

Appointments are scheduled with privacy, precision, and context. Whether touring a legacy estate or a new-to-market home, I ensure your time is respected — and your experience is curated.

Trusted Private Client Experience

This is where luxury isn’t a price point — it’s a process.

From first inquiry to post-closing concierge, I guide every client relationship with discretion, care, and strategic clarity. Your journey is personal, and so is my approach.

FINANCING GUIDANCE

KNOW ALL YOUR FINANCING OPTIONS

Pre-Approval

A lender’s written commitment to lend you a specific amount based on your verified financial profile.

In the luxury space, pre-approval allows you to move confidently and discreetly when the right opportunity arises — often ahead of the public market.

Estimate of Closing Costs

A projected summary of the costs you’ll pay to close the purchase — including title fees, taxes, transfer charges, and more.

I walk my clients through these costs line-by-line to ensure there are no surprises and that the numbers align with your overall strategy.

Good-Faith Estimate

An early disclosure document (now replaced by the Loan Estimate in most cases) that outlined loan terms, interest rates, and estimated closing costs.

While not commonly used today, the concept still applies: you deserve transparent, upfront numbers so we can plan with clarity.

Private Client Real Estate, Redefined

With the right advisor, real estate becomes curated, strategic, and deeply personal. That’s the Private Collection difference.

CONTRACT TRANSACTION GUIDANCE

THE DETAILS MATTER

Negotiations

Paula will help you prepare a negotiation strategy. She will research and provide you with all the data necessary to help you make decisions on the price and terms of your offer.

Offer Presentation

Paula Higman will work diligently to get your offer accepted.

Property Disclosures

Paula will review with you all inspection reports, written seller disclosures, and any other documents provided from the sellers pertaining to the condition of the property and disclose all physical defects of the property that are known to us. Carefully reviewing these documents will enable you to accept or specify the remedy for each fault disclosed. All remedies should be addressed in writing in the Offer to Purchase.

Progress of the Sale

We will monitor and inform you of the progress of the Purchase Agreement, including satisfaction of all contingencies and conditions. It will provide you with a list of critical dates so you can track the progress of the transaction with ease.

Home Inspections

We recommend that you obtain professional inspections so that you are fully aware of the property’s current condition. We are happy to provide you with the names of reputable local inspectors. After review of the inspection report, if needed, we will help you negotiate with the seller the remedies for any items found that are of concern to you.

Home Protection Plans

We will provide you with a list of reputable home warranty companies. It is advisable to obtain a home protection plan to reduce your risk of repair after purchasing a property. We can oftentimes encourage the Seller to provide a home warranty in the negotiation process.

Closing of the Sale

We will attend the settlement with you to close the purchase of your new property.

After the Sale

We will continue to be helpful in any way possible, and follow up on any outstanding details. We hope that you will use Paula Higman Real Estate even after you close your transaction.
