Why Have A Buyers Agent?
|
Put simply, a
buyer's agent is a real estate agent who
works for you, the buyer, in a
transaction. In this capacity, your
buyer's agent can:
-
Set up a meeting to determine your
specific needs and wants. Conduct
an ongoing and extensive search of
available properties that would
address your needs drawing from
in-house listings, multiple
listing services and for sale by
owners. He or she may even contact
homeowners whose homes are not
currently on the market.
- Inform you about attractive
properties so you might drive by.
Schedule appointments for you and
accompany you on visits to
properties you wish to see.
- Provide professional comparative
analysis and tax records and data on
recent comparable sales. Help you
analyze and understand all
information gathered in order to
make a realistic offer. Provide
professional negotiation skills on
your behalf.
- Help select local mortgage
brokers, banks and attorneys.
Identify various inspections and
services that may be necessary and
recommend the appropriate qualified
professionals.
- Arrange appointments to provide
easy access to the property for
various inspectors, appraisers, and
others who may need to see it.
- Monitor
the
transaction process to assure
that necessary documentation is
completed and available for the
closing. Arrange a final
walk-through and accompany you
to the closing.
Although your buyer's
agent works exclusively for you, his
compensation can be paid in a number
of ways, most commonly through a
commission paid by the seller. For
more information please contact us.
