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.
