 For Dianne Long, words such as “Integrity” and “Dedication” are corner stones to her success both personally and professionally. These strengths have enabled her to provide unprecedented service and expertise to her clients. And the results speak for themselves. Just ask a neighbor. It’s a good chance they’ve worked with Dianne too. Dianne always had a strong interest in real estate. Her successful banking career provided valuable insight into the financial processes for homebuyers. However, it wasn’t until relocating back to Richmond that Dianne decided she wanted to start her real estate career. Dianne gained firsthand knowledge of the relocation process, quickly learning the ins and outs of the business. “I really had two careers back then. One was banking and the other in moving.” Real estate is more than just a means for Dianne to make a living. “My greatest sense of accomplishment comes from helping others. To see homebuyers rejoice in finding that perfect home is something I take great pride in. I’m dedicated to making dreams a reality.” Dianne’s dedication to making dreams a reality for her clients is evident in her track record. She has received the Richmond Association of Realtors Highest Distinguished Achiever Award since 1986. She ranks in the top half of 1% Nationally for ERA in Individual Sales. When reminded of these accomplishments, Dianne quickly changes the subject and directs her attention to something she is passionate about, her clients. “My clients hire me, and I am prepared to work with them throughout the entire process.” Her compassion and determination have made many of Dianne’s clients repeat customers as well as life long friends. “I take great pride when a previous client calls and says that their son or daughter is ready to buy a house and that they know I’ll take care of them like no one else.” Integrity and dedication may be missing in today’s society and professional environment. However, there is one place you can still find these important qualities. Just ask Dianne Long. She practices what she preaches and wears these corner stones of success on her sleeves. A devoted wife and mother of two, Dianne enjoys spending time with her five grandchildren. “It’s refreshing to see how your children raise their own, with the same principles and qualities you tried to instill in them while growing up.” Whether she’s spending time with her family or helping someone purchase the home of their dreams, Dianne’s enjoyment of people is clearly evident. From the attentive manner in which she listens to others talk, to her easy laugh and helping personality, she is clearly a people-person ready to lend a capable hand. And with all that Dianne has to offer, those are good hands to be in. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, call Dianne Long. She’s Dedicated to Making Dreams a Reality.  |  | | | | |

Financing Your Home >Financing Contingencies
Standard real estate purchase agreements usually contain language that releases the purchaser from an agreement if they are unable to get financing within a specified period of time. This contingency includes a full return of the earnest money deposit. If you are buying a home, you should read the financing clause carefully and be sure that you fully understand the terms of the agreement.
You are usually required to apply for your loan promptly and to comply with requests from the lender for any documentation needed to complete the loan application. The contract will also set a time limit by which you must have loan approval. If your lender cannot meet the financing deadline and needs additional time to complete the loan, you must ask the sellers for a written extension.
