I Can Represent you as a Buyer's Agent in Purchasing a Home...

& what does that mean to you?

A buyer's agent costs you, the buyer, NOTHING!!!*

A buyer's agent is paid by the home Seller, when a home is sold. The cost of paying the real estate professionals is figured into the price of a home, when it's listed for sale through a real estate company. So, whether you choose to have an agent represent you or not, esssentially, the home seller is paying for his agent (the selling/listing agent) and your agent (the buyer's agent).

My job is to look out for your best interests.

When you're driving around, searching for your next home, remember: THE REAL ESTATE AGENT WHOSE NAME APPEARS ON THE YARD SIGN IS WORKING FOR THE SELLER. His/her job is to get the seller the highest and best possible price for the home that is being sold. You, as a buyer, should have a separate agent working for you, as a transaction broker, to look after your best interests, at no cost to you.*

(*This may not be the case when dealing with a home that is For Sale By Owner.)

Buying a home can be a confusing process, with all of the new laws and new forms. It is important that you work with an agent that has a strong internet presence, as I do. I stay abreast of current real estate information, statistics and trends and form social networks with other REALTORS across the country. Thus, I regularly write articles for my blogs and I have several networking sites on the internet. My job in helping you with the homebuying process, is to make your search as easy as possible. As a buyer's agent, I will:

♦ listen to your wants and needs.

♦ spend time getting to know you.

♦ cut down a tremendous amount of legwork for you.

♦ help you narrow down areas of town.

♦ help you find the best values available.

♦ help you find homes that meet your specified criteria.

Did you know that some homes for sale do not even have For Sale signs on them? They are only available through the Board of Realtors MLS System?

As a buyer's agent I will:

♦ assist you in becoming pre approved by a reputable lender.

♦ be sure that you receive and understand the Good Faith Estimate of your itemized closing costs.

♦ I will help you buy the home that suits your wants and your needs; the home that YOU want to buy.

Looking for and buying a home can be an emotional experience. My job is to alleviate many of the headaches that go along with it.

Upon finding the right home, I will:

♦ help you negotiate the best possible price.

♦ review recent sales in the area to be sure that you are not overpaying for the area. 

♦ help prepare the offer to purchase, with the necessary contingencies to protect you. I will prepare the supporting documents.

♦ negotiate the contract.

♦ work smoothly with the seller's agent.

♦ KEEP YOU INFORMED.

Once we have completed the negotiations, I will:

♦ work smoothly with your mortgage company.

♦ help you in scheduling the roof, termite and general inspections.

♦ make sure that any necessary repairs get done, if inspections are acceptable.

♦ make sure the appraisal has been scheduled.

♦ make sure the survey has been ordered.

♦ work smoothly with your homeowner's insurance company.

♦ work smoothly with the title company handling the closing, to be sure all title work is clear and completed on schedule.

♦ KEEP YOU INFORMED.

♦ remind you to call for utility hookups.

♦ request and review your closing documents prior to closing.

♦ accompany you to the walk through inspection.

♦ schedule and accompany you to the closing.

♦ assist you in any moving accomodations, if necessary.

♦ follow up with you the home buyer, after the sale...

♦ and most importantly of all...

I will make sure you are 100% satisfied!

If you decide to have a home built, I can assist in locating the right builder for you!
