UNDERSTANDING BUYER REPRESENTATION
What exactly does a
buyer's representative do?
A:
As a buyer's representative, I advocate for your interests from the moment we start your home search until the day we reach the closing table.
My duties include finding the right areas that suit your desired lifestyle, identify properties that match your criteria, scheduling showings, providing market analysis to ensure fair pricing, structuring attractive offers, negotiating terms on your behalf, and coordinating all aspects of the buying process, including inspections, financing and legal paperwork.
Do I have to use a buyer's representative to buy a house?
A:
No. You can certainly purchase a house on your own. Buying a home is one of the most significant and complex transactions in your lifetime. When questions come up, it helps to have an experienced guide by your side.
As your buyer's agent, I'm here to protect your interests, provide you with local market insights and advice, negotiate the best price, and navigate the complexities that come with real estate transactions.
All the houses are listed online, so are you there just to "get me in the door?"
A:
Actually, not all properties you see on the internet are available, and some available properties are not online. My access to the MLS provides the most updated information on the latest listings.
As your agent, I provide far more than access to listings. I will guide you through the entire home search process, including navigating all the paperwork, coordinating with lenders, inspectors, other agents, escrow companies, title companies, appraisers, and other professionals. My services are designed to save you time, reduce stress, and help you make a well-informed decision.
