Why You Need To Use An Accredited Buyer's Representative!
|
|
You wouldn't go to court without a lawyer to represent you, so why would you make one of your largest investments, without the assistance of an Accredited Buyer Representative. As a member of REBAC (Real Estate Buyer's Agency Council) I have a desire to pursue excellence and a dedication to improving through updated education and technology.
Warning! Don't expect the agent who listed the home to look out for you, as a buyer. By law, the listing agent is required to represent the interest of his/her client, the seller. That's why I refer buyers interested in my listings, to a separate agent on my team. Sure agents can reach for both sides of a transaction but it gets pretty sticky and very difficult to represent both sides when you have the full knowledge of both. Make sure you have your own agent ! Don't go into a F.S.B.O. alone either! Most people selling their home themselves will work with a buyer's agent and best of all, my fee is paid for by the seller, not you!
A Buyer's Representative:
- Helps you determine which properties meet your needs.
- Saves you time by searching the MLS and neighborhood for you.
- Sets up showings of the properties you choose.
- Accompanies you to showings to answer any questions or handle any problems that arise.
- Always has your interest in mind, so you have someone on your side.
- Does a comparative market analysis on your home of choice, making sure you are bidding wisely on your offer(s).
- Adds experience and expertise in all aspects of the sales process.
- Handles and advises all price and contract negotiations.
- Provides you with all the possible options and opportunities without holding back.
- Gives an unbiased, realistic view of your home and your options. Unlike buyers and sellers, an agent has no emotional attachment to property.
- Has the knowledge to help you ask the right questions.
- Assists with home inspecting companies and other needed services, (see resouce tab).
The Buyer Representative's fee is paid for by the SELLER! |
